Johnny Appleseed Fest

We went to Johnny Appleseed Fest in downtown Crystal Lake this weekend. Uncle Randy, Auntie KK and Quintin came too. It was a beautiful day!! But with that came lots of bees...poor Auntie KK was stung on her calf and it swelled up....so that put an end to our fun and we all left to go out for lunch.
Mommy took us on an apple ride...we choose the red one! It was spinning so fast that daddy tried to get us all in the pic while we were going around and around! Colin sitting in a CL police car.
Gymboree Play was there and they had lots of fun things for us to do....Kaitlyn was riding a scooter down a ramp.
Our Auntie KK...pre bee sting:)
Uncle Randy, Auntie KK and Quintin....Q loved the petting farm!!!
We did apple stamping..it was fun!!
The best part was going on a pony ride.....Kaitlyn said she wants a pony for her birthday....that could be a problem:)
Going around and around and having fun!!!!

Before we left to go home we all went to the zoo. Colin was not afraid to go in the bird house. He was able to feed the birds because they were loose flying around. Him and daddy were brave...Kaitlyn and mommy stayed outside:)

Kaitlyn choose a pretty pony to go on for the carousal ride.

A Special Package!

We were SO excited to receive a special package today. It was from our Grandma and Papa Willis. Whenever we visit them we love to play with their big wooden barn, fences and animals!! They sent us our own wooden fence for our animals. Last time we were visiting them they sent us home with dried corn. We love playing with it and using it to fill our tractor and feed the animals. Here we are enjoying our present! Thanks Grandma and Papa!!

Colin was sharing some corn with Kaitlyn so she could feed the animals.....they decided that each animal would get one piece of corn:)
Colin was placing one piece of corn in front of each animal to eat.
Kaitlyn was doing the same.

Saturday night we babysat our friend Tyler while his mommy and daddy were at a wedding. He even spent the night. We had a lot of fun!!
They were clapping for Colin...he was playing the mouse and cheese game on his laptop and Tyler was helping him.

GO BEARS!

Mommy pulled out our real Bears jerseys this morning in celebration of the Bears win last night! Can't believe they still fit us from last year! They probably wont last through the whole season as we are growing so fast! Its so funny to see how much we have changed and grown over the last year. These pics were taken about 1 year apart. Go Bears!!

Here are some pics from the last few days. Seems like we always have lots of pics to post lately. Friday we went and saw our cousin Quintin....it was GAP day...we didnt know that he had his Gap shirt on til we got there!!! Mommy even had a Gap t-shirt on:) Saturday we went to Makenna's baptism. She looked so pretty in her dress!

Kaitlyn sings her ABC's all of the time and loves for us to listen to her. I videotaped her tonight because she was sitting in her chair singing them over and over again......Cam and I were cracking up. I missed the beginning of her singing but here is a clip.
