Because Ryan loves the earth and his kids (and ok, fine because it was his good idea), we went to Botanica on Father's Day. Oh how I love that place. (Here's when we visited last time: Botanica)
They have this fairy tale land thing set up right now. You explore it at your own pace and literally play in the stories however you like.
I have this wretched personality defect where when anyone - including my own kids - jumps or falls over or does something startling that upsets them, I can't stop laughing. Sage was terrified of Ryan's "wolf claw" and I nearly peed my pants.
3 little pigs! I am in love.
Let's call this little series:
The Bartels Try To Take A Family Picture, Forgetting That They Are Missing A Child, And In Typical Fashion It Doesn't Turn Out So They Settle For A Picture Of Their Soaked But Very Cute Littles.
Oh.....there she is!
We tried to make up for it, but "woa is me, I shall play my harp and snort my sorrows." She was actually a very good sport. because where drama is requested, drama is indeed granted by this awesome girl!
A great day spent with our stud Ryan. I know everyone thinks their man is the best. But ours really truly is.
