Lunch, Dadgum Wind, Night Out

Jackson loves it when we go to his school and have lunch with him.  Jeff went one day this week and then I went the next day.  I am going to try to make an effort to do this more often.  To go and spend this precious time with just him in a time when it is important to him.  I went to his recess and pushed he and his friends on the tire swing.  That was a really big deal for him. 

Unfortunately, the wind was not on my side that day.  It blew my car door into the car next to me.  I went in the school and asked whose car it was so we could take care of it.  It costs a lot of dollars.  The teacher whose car it is got an estimate that same afternoon.  Ugh.  

This weekend is the Czech festival in Yukon.  Jackson came home wanting to go to the carnival for the festival, but we weren't too excited about carnival rides and spending lots of money on that.  We thought that if we were going to do that we might as well just go to Frontier City.  We haven't been in several years, so we found some discount tickets and did that instead.  Harrison is still scared of a lot of the rides, but he LOVED the log ride this time and the Steel Lasso.

I even took a selfie on a rabbit.

Harrison's Field Trip

I went with Harrison to Chester's Party Barn this week with his pre-k class and friends.

 He had been counting down the days and was so excited!

When we got to the barn he was concerned that there would be poop in there.  I told him it was only in the pens with the animals and then he was ok with going in.  We especially loved feeding the turkey, though it was a little scary having him peck at you so quickly.

I found a cute spot for a photo op.  Cute smile? Not so much.  He said he would only take a picture if I promised he could choose the next picture.

Thus, this lovely picture of a dead grasshopper.

The corn maze was not his favorite part.  I'm not so sure it was corn.  I didn't see any corn, but I still had fun.  Especially in the last part of the maze.  It was in fences and had cheesy picture/word games to solve.  Right up my alley.

This was the reward at the end of the maze.  I couldn't believe how many kids were going at the same time.  It was a bit crazy.  Controlled crazy, but crazy.

Cuteness.
