Ferris Wheel, Sausage Balls, and Swimming!

Clint had to work all weekend : (  So we decided to go to Fort Smith Friday night and at least have one day of activity. We met Katie and Eric and took the girls to Varsity for dinner. This was interesting. Let's just say the girls love them some cheese dip! After dinner we took them across the street to West End Park to ride the Ferris Wheel. I can do roller coasters, but HATE the Ferris Wheel. Eric felt the same. So we sat out while Katie took Caroline and Clint took Gracyn. Gracyn would go around with her arms up in the air! She got off and told me all about how she went around in a circle and up and down.

They love each other!

This is the only picture that even half way turned out. Can you see her little head poking over?!

After the ferris wheel we did our usual....went to Goodies for yogurt! The girls were exhausted so we had to cut our visit short. Clint, Gracyn, and I headed over to my mom's to get Kaeleigh. She stayed the long weekend with us.

I love "The Great Food Truck Race" on Food Network. I've watched the first two seasons and when I heard they were coming to Fayetteville I was ecstatic!

Fayetteville Flyer posted that they would be in town on Saturday. We decided we would go to the square around noon for lunch. We got there a little before 1:00 and nothing! We went to Dickson...nothing! So we went to lunch at Chili's. Fayetteville Flyer posted that they would be back on Dickson at 1:00am. Clint got off work about 11:00 that night so when he got home we headed to Dickson! ** Gracyn stayed home with Janaca. We got to Dickson with a lot of time to kill so we went to Common Grounds for a drink. We then waited on the WAC steps for quiet sometime, along with a lot of other people. The trucks showed up about 1:15 blaring their horns and cameras were everywhere! So not to bore anyone with all the details, I will make this short. We stood in line about 3 hours and spend $40 on "sample" food. We each got a sausage ball from Seoul Sausage, an Italian quesidlla and sweet rolls from Nonna's kitchen, and a fish basket (1 piece of fish) from Coastal Atlanta (something like that.) In the end, I'm glad we went. It was fun standing in line with a bunch of sober people making fun of all the drunk people (one of who we know, but will not be named!)

Sunday was pretty boring. Us girls cleaned the house while Clint slept. Once he woke up we decided to go swimming! It was already 4:00 and Clint didn't have to work til 8:00 so we decided to just go for a couple of hours. Gracyn hadn't been swimming since her first year of life, not really sure why we didn't go last year. She loved it! We started off in the big pool with her floaty. After a bit, she wanted out of it then was jumping off the sides! I was trying to teach her to put her face in the water. She did that a couple of times, then we decided to check out the kiddie pool. She was doing great on her own til her feet came out from under her and she went under. When Clint puller her up she was sputtering water and said, "My hair!" We laughed so hard! Even the lifeguard was cracking up. What a little priss!

Overall it was a great weekend! Kaeleigh even got to stay with us for the week since Girls Inc. was closed. I'm thinking we will definitely be going swimming more often this summer!
