All's well that ends well.

06.07 - State Farm Play Day 2008. An all-day outdoor fair full of rides, animals, games and good food. So...as you can imagine, we were very disappointed to wake up to cloudy skies that morning. Nonetheless, we had our breakfast, dressed and packed up for the day's festivities, just praying that the sun would come out. Then, it came...rain...and more rain...and more rain. But, Play Day goes on, rain or shine, so we were on our merry way.

By the time we arrived, the rain had stopped, but we knew there could be more from what the forecast was calling for. Believe it or not, there were other families just as crazy as ours that were ready to head out and weather the storm.

We're waiting for some friends to meet us in the parking lot, but Cassius is ready for a driving lesson.

First stop? Face painting.

Don't forget the bawoo. That's Cassius code for balloon!

Next stop? Rides. (with buddy Ethan)

Daddy and Cassius watching Gabs on the ferris wheel.

Gabrielle's very first roller coaster ride. (with friend Emily)

Round and round, round we go!

Time to wind down. Yep, he's still got the red bawoo.

The whole fam! (and the red bawoo)

More rides. (with friend Elle)

And...two grumpy faces. A sign that it's time to head home.

Although our journey started off a bit wet and unpredictable, we couldn't have asked for a better day at the park. (except for the wet grass of muddy mess that we trecked through the entire day, but that's truly another story for another time!!)
