Ren Faire

Today we went to the Ren Faire. I rode on a pony all by myself.


I rode on a butterfly all by myself, too.

I fairy tried to lick me.

I hung out in a little garden area.

Jordan and I put on an impromptu dance show to the delight of Mommy and Daddy.

Pirate's Cove

We went to Pirate's Cove in Elk Grove Village for the Fourth of July. It was a lot of fun!

I love riding in the safari train. I can sit all by myself, like a big boy!


I'm riding on the carousel all by myself, hanging on all on my own! It nearly gave Mommy a heart attack when the carousel first started and my horse took off, away from her! Hehe...

I went on some supposedly hand-operated trains, but mostly I was pushed from behind by the ride operators.



Arrrrgh!

We got lunch in the park. Daddy ordered pizza, Mommy got a corn dog, Jordan got a hot dog, and I got chicken nuggets. Mommy wanted to put a Table Topper sheet, which sticks to the table, in front of me so I would have a clean placemat. My chicken nuggets were in the way of the Topper, so she told Daddy, "Lift up his nuggets!" Daddy lifted me up from my bottom. Mommy hollered at Daddy again, "Lift up his nuggets!" and then saw what Daddy was doing and said, "No, his chicken nuggets!" Then she started laughing like a maniac. Grown-ups are really strange sometimes.

Of course I ate Daddy's pizza. He does not like it when people eat his food, but I just gave him a double-dimpled smile.

I went on the carousel with Jordan.

We played in the playground for a while. I'm a little scared of going down the slide sitting, but I like going down the slide with my feet first.

Lisle Festival

We went to the festival in Lisle this evening. It was my first time seeing hot air balloons. We had dinner while watching the balloons.



Later, we had mango Italian ice cream. I like to stick my tongue out and lick the ice cream, like a lizard.

50th Anniversary

Yesterday we went to help Grandma and Grandpa Meyers celebrate their 50th anniversary at the church in Ottawa. I had a lot of fun playing with the other kids and messing around.

We started watching Frozen on Aunt Jennifer's phone, but that wasn't working so well, so we moved to the nursery.

Dave DiNaso's Traveling Reptiles

Tonight Mommy took us to see a reptile show at the library. We saw an alligator, a python, and a lot of other interesting reptiles and amphibians. I touched every animal that we were allowed to touch, including this iguana...

...which I grabbed by the throat! Mommy keeps on saying, "Such cute hands!" about this picture. Uh, Mommy, I think people generally call them paws, not hands, for iguanas...

Ravinia Park

We went to Ravinia this afternoon. It was my first time up there. We met up with Mommy and Daddy's friends and their kids.

We played with the bubbles.

But then we got caught in a torrential downpour. Luckily, I was in the stroller but I still got quite wet. Poor Jordan was soaked through and through. Fortunately, it was summertime so we weren't too cold.

Friday Night at Zoo

The zoo is open late Fridays and Saturdays for a few weeks this summer. We visited the Butterfly House first.

We had food on the East Mall and enjoyed the band playing.

We went on the carousel. Jordan chased me on an ostrich!
