Boy Time

While the girls and Dad were gone on their overnight, Will and I were very excited to get to do some special things together. He kept asking if we were only going to do boy things. Do you think he gets dragged around to too many girl things? I assured him that we would do some things that boys liked. First we went to the County Fair at our church. He loved that and got to experience a first there - his first time eating Cotton Candy. He wasn't sure about it when he first looked at it, but after one taste, he was hooked. He also enjoyed the games, or should I say the prizes that came with the games, and the petting zoo. Mom even made him sit through a few pictures.

After the County Fair, we decided to head up to the Southlake Town Center for October Fest. Will immediately spotted the kid's area, and after a quick trip on the bounce house, he saw his beloved train. Will has always loved trains, but he is going through a phase right now where he is obsessed with trains. He talks about them every day, several times a day, and always asks if he gets to go on a train that day. Well, when he saw the train, we couldn't purchase the armband fast enough to ride the train over and over again. He took a small break to ride the ferris wheel, and then I bargained with him to go into one store, and then we were right back to the train again. I seriously think he could have sat on there all day long. We finally had to leave because we were ending the day meeting friends Jamie, Ellie, and Mylie for pizza. Besides pizza, dinner included throwing pennies in the fountain and riding a mechanical horse. It was a fantastic day, and I think Will will remember it for a long time. I know I will.
