Saturday was the General Dynamics Family Day at Daddy's office. It was a very fun day and really nice and warm (way better than the freezing cold, snow and frost we had last week!).
The girls had a blast in the bouncy houses!
Cara had fun inspecting the military vehicles.
Gwen loved the popcorn and cotton candy.
Still too small to drive.
Cara is almost big enough though!
The girls got a tour of Daddy's desk and meeting rooms (their favourite was the room that is covered in white boards and has excersise balls to sit on). Cara liked seeing her painting from school displayed in Daddy's cubicle.
Gwen on "Bam-Bam"
After hot dogs and snacks and glitter tattoos there were pony rides! They even had a helmet Gwen's size so both girls got to ride!
Cara on "Tina Turner"
Cara has been requesting a pony ride for 2 summers now and it just never happened but this day it did. At supper that night Daddy asked Cara how she liked riding a pony and she said "It was a dream come true, Dad." so matter-of-fact it was hilarious.
Sunday we celebrated Cara's 4th birthday. (A bit early.)
We went with a rainbow theme! Cara says her favourite colour is the whole rainbow.
Jamie and Nana joined in the pass-the-parcel game! They even got to win a prize!
Cara's friends Freya and Leah watched Cara open her layer of the parcel.
The girls made rainbow necklaces.
They ate rainbow snacks!
And rainbow jello cups!
Gwen enjoyed the whipped cream "cloud" the best!
And she was so into partying that she wore 2 party hats (a spare in back)!!
They played pin-the-rainbow-on-the-valley!
Blew out the candles on the rainbow cake - she told me later that she wished for peas. Green peas.
Opened presents - this one from Leah!
And some more playmobil from Jamie - this look is: "Jamie, you are the best uncle!"
We even had a rainbow Cars pinata!
This is the only picture of all of the kids at the party!
Freya, Leah, Gwen, Sidney and Cara!
These sugared up kids were pretty wild!
Post-party veg out time.
It was a very fun party and we can't believe that Cara is (practically) 4 years old! Wow!
"A Dream Come True" indeed! A wonderful tour of Dad's work place AND an early birthday celebration! Can it get any better than that? Seeing the girls on horses places this in Wild Rose Country! Great photos and thanks for sharing -- Grampy
