Visiting the Fire Station!

 
 I have been trying to teach Bryson about calling 911 and about Fire Trucks and Ambulances.  One day out of the blue I mentioned that we could probably take the Fire men some cookies some day.  Bryson always remembered me say that and constantly asked me every time he saw a Fire truck when we were going to take them cookies.  So the day came that we did it!
A Fire Truck was pulling in just as we arrived!
They were excited for the cookies and quickly got the kiddos Fire Man hats and took them on a tour!
What is a Fire Station without the fire pole!
Bryson was counting how long it took for the fire man to run up stairs and slide down the pole!
It was a fun day and the kiddos loved the experience!  It makes seeing the Fire Truck on the roads more exciting!

Time with Cassandra


After my family reunion we met up with Cassandra and her kiddos for a few days of fun in Albuquerque!
Our first adventure was back to Cliff's Amusement Park!








That night we headed to the Zoo for Zoo music!  We got to look at the animals then when it got dark we sat on blankets and listened to a Tex-Mex band, it was so fun! 
 




 The next morning we went to play and have lunch at It'z! 
 
This game gets your money's work with Kendyl since she never throws the ball hard enough to make it in the slots!  One game can last a long time!
You've got to get your balls up there somehow!
Then this is what happens when any of the balls make it in the slots!
This game was so fun and big!  Cassandra won a ball and if I didn't have to take a plane home it would have been fun to give it a try!
There is a big buffet of food choices and several themed rooms to eat in, we chose a drive-in car themed room that was showing the movie "UP"!
I was seriously loving this place!  There was the cutest little bowling place just the right size for the kiddos!

 
 

There were also a few little rides that you can ride free of charge just push the button every time you wanted to ride, Kendyl was loving that!
We spent a TON of time at this little Carousel that was also one that was for free!

 


Yep, you see it right.  Kendyl can even fall asleep in an arcade on a makeshift motorcycle!
Haydon and Bryson spent a long time playing this game, especially since that they discovered that all they had to do was hit a button hard multiple times at the end of their game then the game would let them play again for free!
 That night we went to see the Isotopes play baseball!   There was an area of bounce houses, carnival rides, a carousel and swing sets which the kiddos took full advantage of!

 










The boys were having fun playing with walkie talkie's during the game!

 Silly faces!

After the game there were some awesome fireworks! 


 It was a quick but fun visit with Cassandra, but the kiddos had plenty to do, burned a ton of energy and were very good for me on the plane trip back home!
