Family Fun Day :)

  Decided to declare Wednesday Family Fun Day and just have fun! So we loaded up, headed out and ended up at the State Forest. Kaya LOVES to play on the playground equipment. We spent several hours there playing and laughing. Then we decided to head over to the fire tower. Last year Kaya was 3 to 4 floors short of reaching the top. She felt ancy and scared and we told her she did great and we would never push her. This is the firetower: It narrows as you get near the top and has a lookout floor with glassless windows.
  

This year she became Kaya the brave and made it all the way to the top!! She hiked up all the stairs by herself with Steve in front, me behind for safety and she accomplished it! She was amazed by all the wind, the view, everything. Not many four year olds have accomplished the whole fire tower!! 

After several hours we hit our local Mom and Pop diner...the BEST place for catfish, tenderloin or a burger. After refueling we headed the next town over to check out their plants and have some apple cider. An impromptu stop to a green/house nursery we had never been to found us the perfect tree :) for our project. Then...off to go bowling! First time for Kaya. She scored a 13 but had the best time :) She loved the shoes (LOL), loved rolling her ball down the lane, and has said we have to go back soon :)
A very successful family fun day :)
