Farmington Trip

In September, the kids and I decided (last minute:) to take a road trip to Farmington. I'm so glad we did!! We had such a fun time and wore those kids right out! We played at the park, went to a fun children's museum, finger painted with chocolate pudding, made dipped cones for ice cream, and just played and played and played!! And of course, Megan and I had to do a craft when the kids were sleeping! We made this super cute Halloween banner. I need to take a picture of it. It really is so cute! I think the highlight might have been the finger painting! It was hilarious to watch how the how event played out...pictures below...LOTS!
Here are Mason and Rubi just chillin at the park...of course we always have to get a picture of these two together!
I love how she is looking at him in this picture! So funny.

After waaaay too much sand was thrown in each other's hair, a bath was definitely needed that night. I think more water ended up outside the tub than in by the time they were done!
Licking the spoons from the breakfast muffins. Megan seriously is the best hostess ever. She makes breakfast, plans the best activities and just makes everything so much fun!
This is at the Children's Museum we went to. It was really cute and better yet, it was free!
Now for the finger painting...it started out really innocently at first...
Then they started to get more brave....

Then Lilly (definitely the ring leader this time!!) started to get REALLY brave...
...and needed to paint her whole face!
Elsie quickly joined in the fun...
And Maia, always the hesitant and reserved one, finally caved and started painting her face too. This is so Maia's personality...not wanting to do anything wrong and definitely not wanting to get in trouble. Elsie on the other hand, well, she could care less!
After they were all messy, they decided it would be a great idea to get washed up in the nasty rainwater that was sitting in the pool outside (again this was Lilly and Elsie leading the show here!)
But look at the pure joy on their face! Seriously I had the best time watching the whole series of events. They were in HEAVEN. Laughing so hard. Just being kids!!

After that, Megan had all the fixin's for dipped ice cream cones all ready to go. There was lots of different kinds of candy that they could choose from to dip their cone in. But of course, sprinkles are always the fav for some reason.

It was such a fun couple of days!! My kids were so tired they slept a ton for the next day or two! I need them to be worn out like that more often. Thanks so much Megan for the fun, fun trip!
