Happy Father's Day

Sunday we celebrated Father's Day.  We had the Struck's over for a very yummy lunch.  My mom made steak and fries, Kathy brought fruit salad, and Shannan brought a yummy dessert.  After dinner we went to see Malificient.  Kaylea had been wanting to see it.  I wasn't sure if it was age appropriate.  She liked it.  It was a little scary in some parts, but she seemed to enjoy it.  At the end of the night we realized we never got a picture of daddy and Kaylea and little miss said, well, take one now - and we did just that!

Huber's

After an evening at home planting our small garden on Friday night, we woke up early on Saturday morning for a trip to Huber's Winery.  We purchased a living social deal and decided we would use it during strawberry picking season.  Kaylea remembered from last year.

We started the day picking a few strawberries.  They were really good.  Then we had lunch with our pizza certificate.  We went to the family fun park.  There are no real animals anymore, but there was a new playground.  Kaylea played and went down the slide and rode on the tractor.  We also took a family tractor ride around the place.

When we were finished with that we had ice cream.  Kaylea loved the salted caramel.  We ended the day picking up our apple butter and added a few root beers to the tab.  We had a great time, but I think we were all pretty tired when we returned.

Happy 4th Birthday Nora

Saturday morning we headed to Noblesville, IN for Nora's 4th birthday party.  Her parents are friends from West Lafayette who have moved.  Almost all of our old dinner club was there to celebrate, so it was a great time.

The kids played outside on the trampoline and in the fort and then played in the playroom.  After the party the adults headed out for dinner.  The kids seemed to have a great time.  Kaylea played and played and fell asleep in the car on the way home.

CAI Play Date

Friday night we decided to let Kaylea have some friends over from school.  She invited Gabby, Stella, and Lucy over for a 3 hours play date.  90% of the time it went really well.  They played, they ate, and then we got out the water slide in the front yard.  We had a neighbor stop by to tell us how fun it looked!

After they got cold, they went inside and decided to have a pajama party.  They played and colored and then they played outside.  They had fun.  Kaylea was tired and had a meltdown at the end of the party.  It was silly and lasted much longer than it should have.  But, hey, 10 minutes out of 3 hours isn't too bad :)

Water Balloons

Last weekend I introduced Kaylea to water balloons.  I don't know why.  I just thought she would like them.  I actually thought she would like throwing them at people, but not like having them thrown at her.  I was wrong - she loved them.  We had a good time.  I wish I could find a faster way to blow them up because the fun ran out too quickly!

Preschool Graduation

I was out of town and missed preschool graduation, but Kaylea had a bunch of supporters in the crowd. Daddy sent me some videos off of his phone. The kids were super cute. Kaylea kept yelling out to the crowd. At one point she says, "Daddy, I think you'll know this one." She also kept playing with her dress. I'm going to steal some photos to put on here that others took.
