Teddy Bear Picnic

So today was Skylar's teddy bear picnic. And it was a lot of fun!

We got to the park at about 11 this morning so that we could stake our claim on a good spot. All morning it looked like it was going to rain. So all morning we were singing rain rain go away!
As soon as the party started though the clouds parted and it ended up being a really nice day.
The kids played great and had lots of fun!!
The big teddy bear was a great success! So many kids got there pictures taken of them as a bear.
Even some of the big kids did it too!
I made four dozen bear cookies. So all the kids and parents got to decorate a cookie.
And finally about 6, the party ended and we made our way home. It was a great party. And we are thinking we might make it a yearly event!

Crawdad Craziness!!


While at the lake some of our friends put out some traps and caught a WHOLE bunch of crawdads. Daddy was very excited, so we left Samantha at home at went to the feed.

Skylar wasn't to sure about them. A friend of Skyalr's earlier in the day told her they were icky.
***Cute story***
She also said that she was a semi vegetarian. When I ask what that meant she said that she didn't eat seafood. I told her that was strange because a lot of vegetarians eat seafood but not meat...her reply...Oh I eat meat its so yummy how could you not? hehe little kids say the darndest things.

Well daddy cleaned a crawdad for Skylar, dipped it in butter and that was the end of it. I think she ate as many as daddy, and mommy.......well I took pictures.
