This past Saturday, 10/16/10, we went to Baldwin City for the Maple Leaf Festival. Tuesday is Great-Grandma K's birthday so she and Nana came up to celebrate.
Brodie, Naomi, Tuyen (Brodie's God-Mother), and I went to Baldwin. Ben had to work so he couldn't make it.
We first went to Great-Uncle Bradley's house, Nana's brother. After hanging there for a minute, Brodie, Naomi, Tuyen, Nana, Ridley (Nana's Great-Niece), and I went to the festival. It was really fun. There were rides and little tents of things you could buy, and food stands.
Nana tried to take Brodie on the carousel, but he did not enjoy it one bit. So Tuyen and I took him to get a smoked turkey leg. It was SO good and Brodie loved it! We walked all around that festival. It was pretty big.
After the festival we went back to Great-Uncle Bradley's and had cake and ice cream for Great-Grandma K. There Brodie met three more of his cousins-Max, Reese, and I forgot the other boy's name (whoops!). Max, who is a little older than Brodie, LOVED Naomi! I was laying her down changing her and he came up to sit by her and kept trying to give her one of his trucks to play with. He even kissed her when we were leaving. It was super cute.
Brodie on the other hand kept trying to play with the big kids. He tried to get up on the big chair to sit next to Reese. He was also just running around being so curious!
We all sang happy birthday to Great-Grandma K and she got pictures with her Great-Grandkids.
Then Nana and Great-Grandma K went back to Ellsworth and we went back home too. Brodie and Naomi were SACKED when we got home! They fell asleep on the drive home. You could tell they had a good time by that :)
It was a really fun Saturday! And tomorrow, we hope you have a WONDERFUL birthday Great-Grandma K!! :D We love you!
Here are some pictures of Great-Grandma K and her Great-Grandkids :)
