We had a very busy Turkey Day….We first went out to my family’s farm and hung out with them. my brother got a new puppy, which Madison adored. They tried the infrared fryer this year and it turned out really YUMMY!! After we left there we headed to Nana’s house for the Condon party. There were so many kids there and Madison had a blast playing and entertaining them all!! We were all stuffed and slept well that night!!
This weekend we went to Maggie Valley for our first LPA event. We were very excited. However, when we pulled up to the lodge….we were a little taken back as it was very RUSTIC. We made the most of this and had a great weekend. We were close to Cherokee, so we went to Harrah’s Friday Night and ate at Paula Dean’s restaurant. It was not as great as I was hoping it was going to be, but it was still good. Madison loved the banana pudding!! We got to meet a lot of great people from our region over the weekend. All in all it was a great weekend despite the rat torn toilet paper and rat droppings on our towels :(
This little cat loves to party!! She had the best time this year trick or treating. She did not want to stop. She would just strut from house to house in her squeaky shoes. Once she would get candy she would hold onto the candy until she arrived at the next house. She would then hand me the old candy and grab 2 more pieces from the new house. She did this the entire time. She also said “Thank You” at every house. I could not get her to say trick or treat. Once we got home, with a bucket full of candy, she was headed right back out the door and down the sidewalk to go again. She is such a little party girl. We all had so much fun trick or treating with our friends and their wonderful and cute kids. Madison is so lucky to have such good friends in the neighborhood. I can’t wait for next Halloween!!
This was Madison’s first time to the Coastal Carolina Fair. We were not sure what she would be able to do, but thought she would still love to eat and people watch just like her MOMMY!! The entire Condon Family was able to go, which made it a lot of fun. We first took Madison to the petting zoo. She loved feeding all the animals!! Next came the rides. Madison was able to go on a few rides with her Daddy. She started out a little nervous on the Ferris Wheel, but by the end she was waving at me every time she went around. We eventually met up with Madison’s good friend Mackenna. They always have so much fun together. Now for the food….I think Madison approved of the fair food. Here is a list of all the things she ate and loved: corndog, Fiske fries, cotton candy, chicken fingers, fried kool aid, and fresh squeezed lemonade. The new food at the fair this year was the fried kool aid…..It was YUMMY!! We also got the fried cheesecake..YUMMY…the fried butter….the fried cookie dough. I thought they were all yummy!! All in all, I think the first fair was a success for Madison. Next year she will be able to ride more rides, which I know she will enjoy!! Oh yeah… I forgot to mention that Madison got to meet “Elsie”.
I decided to try and be Betty Crocker this weekend and make some cookies (all from scratch) for Madison’s class. I think they turned out pretty good for my first time!!
What a great show!! Today GIGI, CC, and I took Madison to see Yo Gabba Gabba live at the performing arts center. I wasn’t sure how she would react, but she LOVED it!! She was waving at all the characters and dancing. It was a very good show and it kept her entertained the entire time! (PS She loved all the stuff that kept falling from the sky) Everyone from the show was there including DJ Lance and Biz! It is so much fun to watch her have such a good time. I hope them come back to Charleston real soon. Thanks to Ann, I was able to get her shirt done in time!! Thanks again GIGI for the tickets.
