DPoD June 10th - Family Fun Day at the Slots

Today it was family fun day at the racetrack slots. Since the fair was such a great day for the boys we decided to tell a few friends that they should come too and that we'd make an afternoon out of it. We were joined by Cordy and then later E-man.

Monkey and Big C both started the day by checking out the reptiles. Big C was very interested in the really big snake, "then thought let's run away". Next Monkey pet the large alligator (easily identified by it's 'A' shaped nose rather than the 'C' shaped nose of the crocodile).

Monkey and daddy built a bird house since they didn't have the stuff to make a 'bunnypult', though I'm sure that'll be the next project. We had a balloon animal made for us, played indoors and out, raced the horses since we were at the track , and then Big C was done and headed for home with daddy.

We grabbed a video of Daddy and Monkey racing thier horse. There is also a lovely interlud of Big C running like...well, running like Big C with his big grin and his arms flailing. We will try to get the video posted but we never did manage to get the last one up. Nope, didn't work. I would love some help if anyone has more of a clue than me.

BTW, we have the video footage of "Phil Falling" loaded on to a DVD. We will be happy to distribute this to anyone who thinks that they can get it loaded for us.
____ end of Daddy's message____

The day continued after Daddy and Big C left. Big E and Monkey thoroughly enjoyed themselves in the "slip and slide" area. Since Big E's momma is a pretty major wimp when it comes to snakes that are the same diameter as she is, Saje brought big E and Monkey to pet the ginormous snake. They thought that was awesome.

We topped the night off with a BBQ at the Bussey household (where the most recent quote of the day was uttered) and then off to bed. Currently it is 8:01 and all three of my boys are fast asleep.

We'll be sure to catch the next outdoor fair or fun day. Keep checking in!
