A weekend of firsts........

We had an action packed "last fling" weekend....Headed to Chi-town for some visiting and to attend the "last fling" carnival - something I probably haven't been to since my senior year in high school! Then off to Grandma's to get one last beach day in.... We had a great time - and the kids experienced a few FIRSTS.......
Say bye bye to Brady's mullet - he went in for his FIRST haircut - he was a bit wiggly but managed to get through it....... I mean as long as he had a wagon to sit in, a movie to watch, a truck to chew on, and his sister coaching him through every snip - what's he going to want next time a full marching band??????

The finished product - looking mighty dapper and albeit 10 years old all of a sudden!
Brady got to hang with his boy Gavin and was testing the waters so to speak by putting his face in the water for the FIRST time
Brooke was in awe of her bud Sydney and her goggles that "make her" swim under water......She was immediately impressed and decided to do her FIRST underwater swim......

She even attempted it in Lake Michigan to show off for Grandma!!
A random FIRST for Mom and Rachel was jumping off the high dive - ummm I will spare you the pictures....but seriously at 34 could it be that we have never gone off a high dive before?
The highlight for Brooke came when she got to go on her FIRST carnival ride! Can we say here we come Cedar Point!! This chick was in her element...... Her mouth seriously didn't shut the entire time on the rides - just sheer excitement and laughter as her veteran carnival expert Sydney showed her the ropes!
Some frog hopper (a.k.a The demon drop) not real sure why some carnival ride operator was bopping them with some creepy stuffed frog????
The dragon Wagon was the crowd favorite.......That is Brooke and Syd in the front car with their hands in the air waving like they just don't care!!!
Another FIRST and hopefully NOT LAST - Brady bugs took four steps for Coco and Pampy! Of course mom and dad were outside chatting it up and missed his longest bought on two feet.......Hopefully Pampy inspired him to get upright and moving!!
Hope everyone had a great weekend!!
