Today was “Family Fun Day” at the community where my grandmother lives. The kids had a BLAST!
First, cotton candy! We all love to see cotton candy machines. The kids love to eat it, of course, and I love that it’s a treat that is allergy free 
Then we got balloon animals from the purple haired clown:
Rory and Daisy got sharks. Elliot got a killer whale.
After lunch and ice cream, we went outside to see the visiting petting zoo! Elliot especially was excited to see real a live cow, sheep, horse, donkey, llama, goat, rabbit, pig, chicken, and rooster!
Even better, after petting all the animals, everyone got to go for pony rides! Rory loved it so much, he waited in line FOUR TIMES so that he could ride again!
Daisy rode twice, and she was very happy about it too
Even if she doesn’t look particularly thrilled, lol.
But Elliot was the cutest I wasn’t going to have him ride at first, because I thought he’d be too small and get scared. But he kept begging, “I ride a horsie!” so we decided to give it a try! He did great, and was very proud of himself. He even talked to the woman leading his pony, and he’s usually shy around strangers!
While Rory was doing his 3rd, 4th, and 5th pony ride, Daisy and Elliot wanted to get their faces painted!
Pink and purple with sparkles; it doesn’t get much better than this!
Elliot was very insistent on what he wanted painted. I tried to talk him out of it at first, because he picked a WHOLE FACE painting…but he wouldn’t let it go, even though we waited in line for over 20 minutes.
He just kept insisting.
“I ‘PIDAMAN!”
He sat still through the entire process, and although he was a little freaked out when he first looked in the mirror, after a minute he decided he looked pretty cool
Of course, I don’t think the real Spiderman would have fallen asleep so quickly on the way home!
