The Mak Family

Stampede 2010 - The Animals!!

We took the kids down to the grounds on a beautiful day this year, we got there early so we hit up the animals first.

Olivia asked why the cows here SO BIG?

We even milked a cow!

Carter didn't want to pet the goats, they looked sketchy!

Olivia and I kept talking about how cute the donkeys were....what did carter have to say....." Look Mommy, Poop!"

The sheep were cute too

I can't get over how beautiful the Bud Clydsdales are, they're SO big, but so pretty!

We went into the barns next, and aparently we have two City Mice. They didn't like the smell!

Olivia was super excited to try roping a steer.

and on her first try she did it!

These pony's were so cute, this one cept licking Liv's hand, at one point it tried for a bit more but mommy ripped her hand out of the way, guess I'm a bit of a city mouse myself!

We have a picture of Cy doing this last year, maybe next year we'll get carter on there.

Liv wanted to take the hat with her, what a cutie!

Carter couldn't stop pushing buttons and pulling levers inside the cockpit, he LOVED it!

Liv was so proud of herself.

Typical of Cy, he gets pulled in by all the infomercials, I didn't realize the kids were just like him! LOL

This is what happens when you leave your mini doughnuts in the wagon with Olivia, she makes her own doughnut holes! hahaha.

Olivia wanted to go on EVERY ride, Carter...not so much.

The first ride we went on was the big wavy slide, both kids enjoyed it, even tho carter made some squeamish noises as we were going down, he said after that it was fun.

This ride, not so fun, I thought Carter would be ok with Olivia beside him, but aparently not, I couldn't even tell he was upset till the operator stopped the ride and asked if he wanted to get off! Poor guy, but I brought him into the back with me and he was fine sitting beside mommy driving the truck.

The Bees.

The Roller Coaster, Liv even wanted to go on the kiddie drop of doom, she was tall enough but mommy wasn't ready for her to do it, I think she missed out tho, cause I'm sure she would have loved it!

Waiting in line for the merry go round.

Cheese!

Mommy and Carter always ride in the sleigh, Carter loves the merry go round but not the horses!

The Science Centre

We haven't been down to the science centre in a long time. So we took the kids down this past week, they have the legoland showcase going on, I'm not sure who had more fun, the kids or daddy!

Carter using the telescope to see the big lego display

The best part of the lego was that they had a build your own lego racer complete with a race track. The kids had a blast, and with a little help from daddy they made some great racers!

Liv was so proud of her racer, this was the maiden voyage...

and unfortunately, this was it's only voyage!

Carter was pretty proud of his racer to, he really wanted to take it home with him.

The cool mood wall, with each of our handprints.

A race car completely made out of lego, so cool!

Mr. Penguin

We found Mr. Penguin a couple days ago, we'd left the bucket of sidewalk chalk in the front hall and we don't think the dogs have the ability to draw...this well! We also didn't realize that Olivia could draw a penguin!! We couldn't get mad cause it was so cute and so well done!

Trip to The Cabin Day # 3

Day # 3 wasn't as warm as the previous days, so we went into Cutknife and wandered around their community park, we went a fed the geese/fish and visited the worlds largest Tomahawk.

Carter feeding the geese

I said geese/fish before cause you throw bread out to the geese and the fish in the pond will literally jump out of the water and grab the bread before the geese can get near it, it was like piranah's

The park had historic little buildings and railways and such for the kids to wander around.

That's a BIG Tomahawk!

They had this really big, really old swing set, I love this picture of Liv swinging.

My favorite shot of Carter walking down the railroad

The adorable / stupid baby birds that distracted me!! They were so cute we were all watching them and taking pictures and carter wanted to get closer, REALLY close, he chose the one spot on the dock that was missing the bottom part of the railing and almost fell in, we all had a heart attack but we was fine, just scared at our reaction and yelling! LOL.
