Carol was on vacation, so Dad took a day off work to hang out with the kids. After a trip to Starbucks, Charlie wanted to go surprise James and say hello. On our drive over, we saw James and Ellie at the bus stop and they let us know they were going to the Ex. After we left them, we decided that it sounded like a great plan, so we packed up with the intent of joining them. We never did see them at the Ex (Dad didn't have their Nannie's phone number and Tomi wasn't responding to Dad's calls).
It was a challenge to find a ride we all wanted to go on. The "ski lift" over the park worked for everyone. The Ferris Wheel was a really tough sell. Charlie was having none of it. I FINALLY convinced him to ride and he and Evie were pretty happy.
Charlie just wanted to play the games. And rightly so. His first game, his first throw, won a prize. He was hooked. After several tries and dollars later, we played a $5 game that was a guaranteed winner so that Evie could leave with something too.
The day finished with some slushies and blue tongues! What a great day with the kiddos!
