Fun Filled Weekend!

Wow what a busy weekend we had! I am exhausted and think I need the whole week to recover. We started our weekend Friday night at the Oktoberfest at the church. We go every year but this was the first year James went on any rides. We went with our friends Lindsay and Jeremiah and their kids. So James was really excited to go on the rides with Ayden! We had a great night and met up with a bunch of friends.
Ayden and James on the spinning apples. I was in there too!

Daddy and James on a ride. This looks like a really wimpy ride but it whips you around really fast.

Jake and Zoe waiting nicely in their strollers.

Saturday morning we got up and went to a car show at the Orange County fair grounds, Cruisin for a Cure. James got to sit in this race car! And then Daddy wanted to try! We didn't last very long there. I think James partied too much the night before. He was such a crank and we ended up leaving because he would not stop crying!

After the car show James fell asleep for 3 hours while I ran around with Brianna to soccer pictures, and a soccer game. Mind you all these things we did were outside in the 90-100 degree weather!!! Agh! Heat heat go away! That night Craig and I got to escape for a bite to eat by ourselves at the Oktoberfest! Thanks Mom! :)

Sunday after church my Mom and I went back to the Oktoberfest with the boys to finish up the tickets we had while Craig and Tom were out golfing. We only were there about an hour thank goodness. I was melting in the heat!
James on the ladybug ride. He loved this one. You really got your monies worth they went around so many times I thought he was going to puke. He had a kinda dazed look when he got off!

We ran into my friend Vic with his kids Logan and Kira, so once again James was so excited to go on the rides with them! They screamed the whole time! And they were the only ones screaming! I think they thought that is what you are supposed to do on rides!

Thank goodness my niece Andi was there to go on some rides with James!

Logan, James, Andi, and Valerie on the big slide!

We had so much fun at the Oktoberfest I can't wait till next year. Maybe there will be more rides he can go on. He wanted to go on all the big kid rides! So much different from his Sister!

Monday was my Mother-in-law's Birthday so we joined her at Disneyland!
First Nonna and James went on the carousel. A warm up for James!

Then they went on Dumbo. He loved it!

Then Nonna took him on the teacups! First time and it was a hit!

Every time we go we try to get James to go on the train that goes around the park. He never wants to go and we don't get it because he LOVES trains. Well he finally went and really liked it! Until we got to the dark part with the dinosaurs, which I didn't even remember, it had been so long since I was on it. He freaked out a bit while we went through that part. Who knows if he will go on that again!

Jake was such a good boy all day. He took his naps right when he was supposed to and just hung out in the stroller most of the time!

Hope you had a fun day Nonna! We did!
