Gibson Park

All Great Falls "locals" know that if you have stale, left-over bread the thing to do is take it down to Gibson Park and let the birds fight over it! We decided we'd take Maddi down for her first "big girl" time there. ( She went when she was much smaller... and would have just eaten the bread herself) This time though, she was pretty enthralled when she saw all the birds. Daddy had to help her feed them; Mommy was scared they were going to mistake her toes for sausages! Maddi and Tyler broke the bread into tiny pieces and fed it to the birds... Maddi loved it! The birds there are pretty brave and come right up to you, so she didn't really even have to "throw" it as much as just drop it!

After a little while with the birds, we went over the the park they have there. Maddi has become quite skilled at sliding and swinging!

Long Day

Well, it's that time of year around here... FAIR!!! We took Maddi to the fair last year, but I'm pretty sure she just rode around in her baby pack the whole time! This year however, Daddy and Mommy were so excited to take her because we were sure she would LOVE it. I don't know if "LOVE IT" would be the words Maddi would use to describe the fair though.

We went to the pool earlier today, so she was exhausted from playing in the water. By the time we actually got the fair after Daddy got off work, it was not far from her usual bedtime! She was a real trooper though. She went on all the rides that we took her on and didn't seem to mind; she just didn't LOVE them. As you can see from the pictures, the giant slide is my personal favorite. Tyler seemed to love the hot air balloon ride! Maddi... generally unimpressed! I can't say I blame her. All the kiddo rides just go in circles; I thought I was going to throw up on a few of them.

Oh well, there is always next year!

What will Maddi eat today?

It has been quite the challenge lately figuring out what Maddi will eat. One day she loves something and the next day she hates it. She is a pretty good eater, once you actually figure out the mystery...

I thought I would just share pictures of some of the things that she has "tried" lately!

Ps... she does love yogurt... so when all else fails!

Pss... she is a hoarder, she will hold meat in those sweet little cheeks for hours and then later, opens her mouth and out falls chicken or hamburger! Too funny!

Denver

Well... from Seattle, we flew to Denver for Ty's graduation from Colorado State University. We also met up with Danny, Summer, and Brynn there! We had an awesome weekend. We got there on Thursday and were able to spend the night with a great friend that we knew from Vandenburg! The next day we got up and went to Tyler's graduation which was in Fort Collins, CO. After graduation, we headed back into Denver to meet up with Danny and Summer. The girls loved being able to play with each other. We did some shopping, eating, and the Zoo. They were so cute together! Can't wait to see Brynn again in a few weeks!!
