Pearland Winterfest!

So you know how I keep saying I will get caught up???  Well, slow and steady wins the race, right?  Though at this point in the pregnancy, the odds of me winning any type of race at all is a pretty far fetched idea :)  

Nonetheless, one step in front of the other...so here we go!

I love taking Sophia to do things...especially when her friends are involved, and even more so when said activity is cheap!  And funny how the cheapest outings seem to be her favorite ~ just one more thing to love about her.  At least as long as it lasts...which I have a feeling won't be too many years from now.

Anyway, back to the whole point of the post.  Pearland Winterfest is an event put on by Pearland Parks and Recreation, which of course we never attended when we lived there. But hey, you live you learn!  And, can I just say, it was a toddler's dream...riding a school bus from the parking lot to the event, pony rides, petting zoos, bouncy houses, carnival food, music to dance to and of course, "snow".  I use that term VERY loosely.  The "snow" which Mommy was super excited about was more like shaved ice...and I don't mean the soft, wonderful snow cone type.  I mean the concession stand hard type of snow cone ice.  So needless to say, we strategically bypassed the kids away from participating ~ and um, also because none of us really wanted to wait in the ridiculous lines.  Thankfully, our kids are too young to even notice :)  I wonder how many years we have before strategy loses out to a child's insistence???

Cause you see, at this age, who needs snow when you have a PONY?!  And not just a pony, but Harper Anne AND a pony?!?!?!?  Life was good for Soph :)

Two amazing dads and some very special little girls :)

It's a good thing Soph's BFF is brave around animals...

What you can't see in this picture is that Soph pretty much followed Harper around and wouldn't let go.  In her defense, the animals were quite a bit larger than they were.

And now...the star of the show!  Bouncy houses!!!

But notice something else?  JuJu is here!  Now Soph is REALLY having a great day :)

She loves her some Harper Anne and JuJu...and all in one place!  We got the cool parents award that day...at least if she was old enough to understand what that meant, I'm sure she would have given it to us!

Running out the energy...how they still have any, I have NO idea!!!

I think this picture speaks for itself!

And for your viewing pleasure, a little something extra to make you smile :)
