Blog Candy - more hints....

Don't forget that you have until Monday night at midnight, Central time to post on this thread to be entered for my current blog candy.

Here are probably some dead giveaways as to our whereabouts...

Yesterday, we went on an "excursion" (don't want to tell you everything!). On the "ride" back to our car, my "just-turned-5" year-old because the LIFE of the party. He entertained the entire wagon full of people. As my husband said, his middle name should be "HAM". Good grief. The best line of the evening was... "My daddy makes a whole lot of money!" What? Where did that come from? Anyway, he's such a charmer that one. I really need to pay attention... especially 5-7 years from now :( . This boy gets ALL kind of free stuff, etc. just for being "charming". One time, when he was 2 years old, we were in San Antonio for a long weekend and we said at a fancy schmancy hotel... he batted his eyes and was very polite to the lady that was checking us in and she upgraded us to a suite. So, anyway, last night, he's just talking and talking (getting him to stop is the real trick!), and finally the wagon driver says "do you want to drive the horses"? EVERYONE and I mean everyone, including US - the parents, said, Um, shouldn't you be asking us if we're okay with a 5 year-old driving 2 horses? Anyway, that was the highlight of his trip. So, here's him driving.... (as you know I don't ever show my kids or say their names - I am uber paranoid about them getting taken - but that's a different story altogether). But he's not actually facing the camera so I should be okay with that. Right?

The next picture was taken after a mile hike! The hike wasn't too bad except that it was all uphill on the way to this point. And the 1 year-old was carried in the backpack. But it was worth it for this view. This picture was actually taken by my 5 year-old with my digital camera. He's getting better and better at it and he's obsessed with taking pictures. He got that from me :)!
