We try to find fun things to do on Saturdays with the girls. I never said it, but they know it. Just this morning Julia asked me what day it was and when I told her it was Saturday she replied, "Oh good! It's a fun day!"
Three weeks ago on the 12th Ben took the girls up to the "mountains" to see some "trees" which was a total bust on the mountains and trees (because it's Arizona and all we have is desert), but they still had fun hiking around, climbing on rocks, and just being with Daddy.
Then last weekend we went out to the Renaissance Festival in Apache Junction. Long drive, hot day, very dusty. Again though, the girls had a great time. I showed them pictures online the day before and they both wanted to dress up like the people in the pictures. It's a Renaissance Festival so they were hardly out of place.
They got to ride a few little rides and eat overpriced, sugar-filled treats and see fairies and princesses everywhere they turned. All in all, they had a great time and got filthy dirty. Ben and I liked it well enough. He like the jousting tournament. To be honest, I loved looking in all the little shops. I'm quite the geek at heart and all the fun dragons, fairies and cool clothes made for fun eye candy. Ben even tried on a few things. He wanted a suit of armour, but at $5,000 it was a bit out of our price range. Here's the end-of-the-day picture. I wish you could see their feet because we were soooo dirty.
Then this weekend Grandma and Grandpa Lund came down so we had fun hanging out with them and with Matt and Ali's family. Grandma and Grandpa spoiled the girls by taking them all to the store and letting them pick any present they wanted. I told Grandpa he was a brave man to take 9 women into a store, but he did it anyway. The controlled chaos was pretty fun to watch. The girls loved it.
