Presidents Day

President's Day was another holiday that we got to spend with Kevy! We were going to go to a Train Musem down in Fairfield with my parents becasue my Dad also had the day off but we found out it is only open on the weekends, so we met up with them down in Vacaville at the Nut Tree Plaza becuase it gave us something different to do and another andventure under our belts. It ended up being one of the most beautiful days. We had luch down there and then we just hung out and let the kids play around on some of the stuff they had. There was a little playground for the kids to play on, and picnic tables in this really cute plaza. All the pretty daffodils were in bloom and this little boy came up to Lizzy and gave her one. I don't know why exactly other than he probably thought she was cute.

We rode the carousel, which lets face it, is always a hit with the kids.

 

 

The thing that we had the most fun doing was the giant checker board. The girls had never played checkers before so we helped them. It was fun because we actually drew qutie a crowd. Apparently people didn't know you could check out giant checkers from guest services so they were all mesmerized watching us. They alsodidn't seem to get it becuase kids would come and try and take some checker peices and we had to tell them to leave them alone, it was a little akward.

Lizzy had Janie as her helper and here they were trying to decide on their next move.

Nellie had Russy as her helper, but it took him a while to get it and he kept taking the checkers off the board too. Nellie was completely convinced that Lizzy was winning so she was whining and complaining the whole time. It was lovely! The funny thing is Lizzy was only winning by a bit, but Nellie has a hard time losing sometimes.

 

Annie wanted in on the action too. I love that cheesy smile of hers.

I just love this picture of my two guys. I should feel bad that Russy likes Kevin so much more than me, but I am okay with it. I am so grateful that they have each other. It is such a special thing to see them together. One of my favorite things lately is how when Kevy is fixing something, Russy is right there with him and he truely believes that he is helping Kevin a lot! It really is funny, but so so cute!
