The Bucket List...Making Multiple Stops...

Monday, July 26, 2010

While it's true, we already did this activity off of the Gust Gab Summer Bucket List - We decided to do it again...

It's outdoors, it's close to home, it's fun, and best of all, it's FREE!


Yes, another trip out to Canterbury Park ~


These animals are just so beautiful - I have always loved horses...

And one of the greatest things about going on a Sunday afternoon?
It's FAMILY DAY!

Free face painting for the kids...

Or, well, arm if you are our little girl...

And FREE pony rides!!

And you guys...look at our little girl up there riding on that pony. First timer here folks! First timer! D hopped right on like the cowboy he is and rode around the ring - and about an hour later, when he was going to go again - she declared she was too - and that she did!

We are so proud of her, coming out of her shell more and more each day to embrace what life has to offer her!

The kids had a blast...



And the petting zoo was pretty cool too!

Thankfully, with all of the other stuff going on - the kids only wanted to climb this monstrosity for a few minutes (and not a few hours!)
I wouldn't care on a regular day, but why must there always be some unsupervised kid climbing the outside of these structures giving the little ones ideas?

GAH!

It was Navy Week in the Twin Cities (I know! Who knew?!?) So there was a pretty cool military fly over taking place as well - I'm not sure where it was based out of but it was sure fun to watch the planes going overhead in their different formations...

Yep, for a couple of hours, this big city felt a little bit more small town...and that, that my friends makes me very very happy.

Darcie - I also love Canterbury but had no idea about Family Day! I still don't know if I want to go with my 2 1/2 yr old..but next year when she is a year older we are definitely going. I love me some horse racing!
