Navy Seals

Over the season Mark and I noticed a few differences between Logan's 2 soccer teams. The Navy Seals players (who played in Wildwood) had parents quite a bit older than Mark and I (most of them looked older than my parents). The Red Rovers parents (who played in Killarney) were all about the same age as Mark and I. It was obvious by the cars in the parking lot that the Navy Seals players came from money. Where as most of the red rovers walked or biked to the soccer field. The Navy Seals parents came in work clothes and had their cellphones or blackberries out a lot of the time. The Red Rover parents came in sweats and ran around on the field most of the time. The Red rovers picture day was a parent on the field with her point and shoot camera. The Navy Seals picture day was a hired, professional photographer, complete with lighting and back drop. See below....

Mark and I joked that its definately worth it to send your kid to play with all the rich kids :)

Red Rovers!

Calaway Park

Yesterday afternoon my mom and I took the kids to Calaway Park for the first time. I hadn't been to Calaway Park since grade 9 - and it was just as I remembered it! Although they do have many more little kid rides now than they did back then.

It was a great night to go too! There was virtually no one else there. We never once had to wait in line for any of the rides. It rained for the first 5 minutes we were there (but we were under the cover of the bumper cars the whole time) and then the sun came out for the rest of the night!

First ride of the night, the bumper cars! Logan LOVED the bumper cars! (Although the first time he basically spun around in circles.) He went on them 3 times yesterday!

Katie LOVED going on all the rides too! I had half expected her to be afraid of most of them. But even the fastest, spinniest rides she loved!

Logan was upset that he got stuck with a purple airplane. He had wanted a green one, but wasn't fast enough and all the big boys beat him to it.

Logan INSISTED he HAD to go on this ride. It's a mini version of the Stampede's drop of doom. He was by far the smallest kid on the ride, but he LOVED it!!

I made Grandma go on a lot of the rides with the kids so I "could take pictures".

I have a feeling our season's passes will get a LOT of use this year!!
