A busy fall weekend

This weekend ended up being non-stop busy and now I need a vacation to re-energize.  But alas, tomorrow it is Monday and back to the regular schedule.



We ended up having tickets for Marineland that we hadn't used all summer and figured that we would make a last ditch effort to go.  So first thing Saturday morning we loaded up the car and headed out.  It was a beautiful day to go and we had a lot of fun.



We had hoped that Sophie would enjoy it because she LOVES the marineland ads on tv.  We didn't know if it was just the jingle or if she like seeing the animals in the ad.  I think it was just the jingle lol. 



Sophie didn't really show much interest while we were there, I think that the whales were too difficult for her to see in the water.  Even when they were poking their heads out of the water it wasn't long enough for her to figure out they were there.  She did have a happy day though and Lucas loved the rides, we did most of them.  Sophie did have a seizure later that night though and I am sure it was just from exhaustion.

 
Today we headed out to a local fall fair with some friends and had another day of rides and being out in the sunshine.  We saw a dog agility demo and Lucas got to race one of the border collie dogs.  It was pretty cute. 

There was a carousel at the fair so Sophie was able to go on a ride which was nice.  The young man running the ride wouldn't let us give him any tickets, it was really kind and unexpected.


Now that this weekend is over we can gear up for Thanksgiving, hard to believe it is next weekend!

  1. You sure do a lot in a weekend! I am also a fan of that catchy Marineland commercial, and I don't find the actual park that fascinating either. ;)

  2. Sounds like a great weekend! Looks like everyone had fun. That was sweet of the guy running the ride not to take tickets for Sophie to ride, what a great ride for her!
