Time at the park

Well it was another gorgeous fall day. We decided to spend it outside at the Manasquan Reservior. They have a great play ground for Katie and a huge lake to throw rocks into.

Here she is being a little bit of a ham - posing for the camera. I think she is part monkey - she loves to climb on everything ( thankfully she is also pretty good at it).She loves to run across the bridge - it bounces so it adds an extra stress factor for the nervous parent.

Popcorn Park Zoo

Another trip to the Popcorn Park Zoo. Katie loves getting a big box of popcorn and feeding all the animals.

Apple Picking

We met up with Eileen, her 2 daughters ( Ella and Grace ) and her friends on Wednesday at Battlefield Farms to go apple picking. Katie had gone peach picking a few months pack so she knew what to do and was ready to go. She enjoyed pulling the apples off the trees ( and picking them off the ground too ).

Princess Katie

Katie is really starting to enjoy dressing up. Here she is with a princess hat and gown. She is also trying to put on her chap stick lip gloss. She had small heels with the outfit but they were too big. We had to hide them because she insisted on wearing them - maybe when she is a little older.
Now she is giving her chap stick lip gloss to Mommy to try on and then to Daddy - she likes to share ( aren't we lucky :) ).

Dancing

Here Katie and Ella are dancing to the music . I am afraid Katie may have my sense of rhythm ( poor kid), but at least she knows how to have a good time.

Back to Great Adventure

We went to Great Adventure on Sunday - Katie and her friend Ella , had a great time. It was Ella's first time but she jumped on all the rides with Katie . This is them on the stage coach. Below they are climbing on the big rode ladders - they were almost too fast to keep up with.


Here they are on another ride - tell me that doesn't look like fun!!!

Great Adventure

Well Nana came back in August and we took another trip to Great Adventure - and boy was she adventurous. She tried every ride - the faster the better. And she wanted to do it all herself. Her she is taking a spin in the boats. All my mom and I could think about was a time when we were kids and my mother had to continuously yell at my brother to " keep your hands out of the water" - thankfully she was good.
Next she climbed up this huge net tower. She did great until she reached the top level and her foot fell between the nets and her shoe fell out. We managed to get her out without any major problems and retrieve her shoe but she was a little upset.

Next it was off to the airplanes then the roller coaster. She sat in the cart for the coaster, buckled up then raised her hands before the ride even started. She kept them up the whole time. Even went on for a second trip. She liked how fast it went ( don't think I could of handle a third time around).

The we caught the Bugs Bunny talent show - she had a good time dancing and singing. On the way out she wanted to play dress up. Didn't think she really meant it, but she did. She is just too cute.

It was a long day - lots of fun and adventures.
