Riverton Days
If you're into judging people--you are going to love this post.
Saturday we went to Riverton Days to get out of the house and into the sun. It was so fun because we've never done anything like that as a family. Cole was very specific about what rides he would and wouldn't go on...but once he decided on a ride, he had a blast. It was so cute seeing him on these rides without any help from us. My BABY! waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. In fact, after getting him all set up on the carousel he said "Ok Mom, get down now". Excuse me?? It's starting to happen...he's starting not to need me and I am only 50% okay with that. It was hot as all get out but it made it seem like a legit summer day. Great way to spend the 4th of July.
Here's where you can judge us:
There were girls there handing out free Red Bull drinks (diet and regular) and since I'm all about free stuff, of course we took some. It's actually not bad tasting! We got the sugar free kind and as bad as Cole wanted some, I wouldn't' cave because obviously more energy is the LAST thing on the planet that he needs. We thought it was funny to pose for a picture with the girls, though. (See? I'm not THAT bad of a mother--I do put my foot down occasionally). By the way, we don't even let him drink carbonation unless just a few drinks...so I'm pretty much Mother of the Year 2009, sorry if you were my competition. I win. Why do I need to defend myself?! I must feel guilty deep down inside...dah well.
By the way, we were TOTALLY the annoying parents who are yelling their child's name to try and get pictures/video of them because he's our only child and we want to document his every breath. I wonder if 3 year olds are old enough to be embarrassed about that??

Looks like you guys are having a blast this summer! Glad to see that things are going well!
Oh and Yes, Dave is in the Mafia. Lol!
We have both had the summer off so we figured it was a great excuse to have tons of fun before real life begins. Ha ha!
