My mom was able to go with us and she will be here for the rest of the week. She totally rocks! She had both kids all last week in Indiana and now she is staying this week so she can babysit for us on Thursday because we are taking Millie out for a special evening. I will have more on that later. I really don't know what I would do without her. It is great that she comes down to visit so often and does so much to help Rick and I with the kids.
Reed didn't want to do anything but ride the train, he did it twice.
After the rides we had to partake in the local cuisine.
Reed was a fan.
A really big fan. He got concerned when he finished a piece and he didn't have one on deck waiting for him.
For some reason Millie didn't want to taste it but she went to town on my mom's pina colada. Don't worry, it was alcohol free...I hope.
As luck would have it, we were having our gourmet dinner in the main tent when the milk chugging contest started. The contestant in the middle had the best form and was by far the cutest one up there. However, I didn't have high hopes of a victory here because she is the slowest eater in the world. To top that off, she got to pick chocolate milk which she NEVER has at home and when she is eating or drinking something she thinks is a special treat she is even slower. I will get on her and tell her to hurry up and she just looks and me and says "I am taking my time so I can enjoy it Mom."
And then my battery went dead. So, I found a bunch of outlets behind a few deep frying booths and I got a little juice back on the battery while Mom, Rick and the kids walked around a little. Rick got some video on his phone of the milk chugging so when I get the figured out, I will add it later.
We got the camera back online but there wasn't much left to see. The coolest part of the event was all the free milk they were handing out. This made both of my kids deliriously happy.
