Mommy Daughter and Daddy Son Day!

Since Lia didn't have school today, I asked Ron to take the day off from work several weeks ago so that we could go to the Spring Fair as a family.  After we had arranged this, Lia got invited for lunch and some shopping at the American Girl Doll Store with her good friend, Lilah, to celebrate her seventh birthday.  Lia and I decided that we couldn't pass up this opportunity and so Ron and I divided today.  The girls went to the AGD store and the boys went to the fair.  A good time was had by all.  Lia, Ella, and I thoroughly enjoyed wandering around this favorite store of ours and eating in the bistro and Ron and Logan had a grand old time going on rides and gawking at monster trucks.  Here are a few photos of our mommy-daughter and daddy-son dates!

Lia and Lilah with Caroline, Mirabella, and Lilah's brand new doll, Grace.  Lilah's parents bought her a new doll AND an outfit for both Lia and Caitlyn.  Talk about an amazingly generous "gift favor?!"

After lunch, we changed Caroline into her beautiful, new holiday outfit.  Here are the girls getting together for a group photo with their dolls holding hands.  

The girls and their dolls.  Aren't seven-year old girls so cute?!

And here are some pictures that Ron took of Logan at the Spring Fair...

According to Ron, Logan thoroughly enjoyed the pit of plastic balls and played in them over...

and over...

and over again.  

Logan also had fun spending quite a bit of time making "music" with a bunch of other kids.

Here is our boy pounding away.

Both of the boys loved gawking at the monster trucks on display.

And no trip to the fair grounds is complete without an ice cream cone.

Logan licking away!
