The Mako Carnival


On Friday we Myers girls went to the Mako School Carnival (the mako is a shark and Vista Del Mar's mascot.)  Alison had won tickets at school that day and was very excited to get to the jungle and "chaos" bounce houses.  The girls had their face and/or hands painted when we first got there.  Then Rachel and I enjoyed the music of the Jr. High band and 5th grade choir before Gina, Alison and Samantha joined us to eat their treats.  Alison and Samantha climed the rock wall, and we used up the last of our tickets at the Cake Walk.  Rachel was very ready to be out of her stroller by this time, and was looking for the "candy" that Sammy had promised would be abundant.  She kept walking me back and forth to the cake table to check it out while we waited in line.  When it was our turn to do the walk, we had to split up - Ali and I went, and WAHOO, we won cake.  Rachel picked "two bite" cupcakes wtih yellow frosting.  She grasped them passionately and kept saying "I won cake!"  It was way cute.  



Sammy's Birthday

amantha Diane turned 6 on Wednesday, 4/21/10.  Daddy, Mommy and I picked her up from Kindergarden and took her to lunch at McDonalds.  (Mommy had to go pick up Rachel, who had thrown up at school, so, alas, she had to miss Ronald's fine cuisine.)  When Ali got home, Sammy got to get her BIG present.  Daddy had her closer her eyes, then brought out a BIKE!  Then we had a special family dinner (of pancakes) and ate cake.  Sammy will be having an "All Fired Up" party this Saturday, where she and her friends will paint pottery.
