she's a maniac

NEVER in my wildest dreams would i have thought Savanna would enjoy an amusement park!
on a whim, i decided to join my sister's family, their friends, and hundreds of other patrons willing to take part in 2 for 1 day at Utah's own LAGOON. i arrived fully expecting to be disappointed and stressed out with a screaming toddler in tow. luckily i was proven wrong as my daughter eagerly asked to have "my turn" on EVERY ride in sight. i played it safe and started her out slow on the whale ride...



i almost had to hold back the tears of joy as i heard her squeals of delight throughout the day. my proudest moment had to be when she endured, enjoyed, and excitedly gave me a play-by-play of the Lady Bug Drop experience. {pics/video is currently on my sister's camera. too be posted later}
i am hoping to squeeze in another fun day at the park before the season ends. next time i'll be sure to bring daddy {and a fully charged camera battery}. good thing my glucose test came back normal--the cotton candy, snow cones, and carmel apples alone may be enough to ensure my return BEFORE i must acknowledge all the "baby weight" i've gained.
{not to mention the $12 mug with FREE refills ALL day long!}

The quilt looks great--and I can't believe how long her hair is getting--check out those pig tails :-) Here are two names I thought of to get the brainstorming going...Cole, Carter.

Oh my goodness. She has gotten so big. Lagoon brings back so many memories. Hope your pregnancy is going well.

I can't believe how big she is, and still such a beautiful little girl

Looks like fun. I took ELsie to the county fair when I was in Vermont with my family and she loved the rides. She is a year younger though. I am so excited for you and your new home and baby on the way. I hope all goes well. We are also buying a new home in Salt Lake area. If you have any time between playdates and family we should get together.
