Ballerina's

This year BOTH the girls get to take dance classes. And how lucky for me, they're classes are both at the exact same time on the exact same day. Now, that's perfection! Thanks Starstruck for awesome scheduling! All I have to do is wait around to pick them up.

They're both loving their classes. Constantly asking if today is the day they get to go to dance class. This is a total transformation from last year when Ellyse wouldn't go back to tumbling after the 2nd or 3rd week. I think it's because all three of us girls are either taking or teaching at the same time. Plus, her teacher rocks!

My wonderfully talented friend Carly's little girl takes the same class as Allie and she took these beauts for me. Thanks so much C! Check out her beautiful blog and photography here and or her webdesign page here.

Gotta love ballerina's!

As promised..

'member how I told you about the operator guy at Lagoon yelling turn your wheel? Well, here it is.

Ellyse is in the green car and Allie is in the blue one. And remember- "Tuuurn your wheel!"
Take note of the little guy in the purple car at the end just going in circles. Fun stuff!

Who's that chick that's rockin kicks?

Aren't these the cutest? Best part? Only 5 bucks! Sweet!

One of my favorite days

It's been a few weeks since we went there but oh man, it was such a blast this year! Mostly because now Lagoon offers rides that the little ones like, that the parents can ride too. Makes a big difference when you get to ride instead of just watch your little ones have all the fun. The view from the Sky Coaster. What a boring ride. :)

The. Absolute. Hit. Of. The. Day. Bumper Cars! I think they rode it about 6 different times. It was funny too because the kids would always get stuck in the corner and not turn their wheel. The guy operating the ride kept saying "turn your wheel" over and over and over and over and over and over. Yeh. Like, that annoying too! I have a video of it, I'll have to post it later.
I think this might have to be one of my favorite photos of all time. We were all on the Tidal Wave. We missed out on the closest row to the middle too so it was a bit much for Allie. Ellyse loved it. I think the exact words of Allie were "I never want to go on that ride. Ever. Again!"
We stayed there for about 8 hours one Saturday. Jason had a bad back that day too and man, he totally pulled it out of the hat for us to stay that long. So, so, so much fun! It was truly one of the funnest days I've had with my little family!

Happy Autumn Day!

Do you see the changes happening already? I'm not a huge fall fan but as long as the temp's stay high, I'm good. Happy first day of fall y'all.

A fact of our life

Ellyse: Are you rich?

Me: no

Ellyse: Aaahhh mom, I wanted you to be rich.

Me: me too kid, me too.

.........

Ellyse: then why do they call Michelle Rich?

Me: That's her last name, sweetie.

This is one reason I L.O.V.E. to dance...

Doesn't this just make you want to get up and try it? Thanks to Dooce.com for the reminder.

p.s. Nobody can dance like the king!! RIP Mr. Jackson!!
