BMX bike park

Maia was staying at a cousins house for the week so I wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to spend some one on one time with Elsie.  I feel like she all too often gets lost in the mix of things. She is so easy going and rarely complains but I just had been feeling like she needed some time with just me. She decided she wanted to go to this little bmx bike park here. We got all loaded up to go when mason came out feeling sad because he wasn't coming. I told him he had to ask Elsie if he could come. He did and she said "well okay sure" and he was so excited. He gave her the biggest hug and said "you're the best Elsie!!" It was sweet. So it ended up being a double date;) it was so fun. The kids loved riding aroun and going down the "big hill". Mason is a champ on his strider balance bike. I am amazed at how well he has mastered it. He stands up on it, stops it with the back of his heel while standing, cruises amazingly fast and is just really a master at it! 

    We finished the night off at Ice Box, a little sno cone shack here. Everything was perfect until I didn't want to wait an hour for the kids to eat their GIANT sno cone (we had already been there 20 mins!!) so I said the kids could just ride in the back of the truck and eat it on the way home (it's literally just down the street from our house) they were super excited about that idea... Until they actually did it... We got home and I got out of the truck to find two crying, sad, and really sticky kids haha. The turns and bumps had spilled their sno cones and it was everywhere and they were NOT happy. Mom fail. Oh well the rest of a night was perfect:)
