Kings Island

We had a fantabulous day at Kings Island yesterday. It rained..alot. But it made the day that much more interesting. Harlan slowly warmed up to the water park and even got to ride a couple rides. My favorite moment of the day....we were walking through the water park and Harlan was walking holding Mommy's hand. There was music playing in the air, as there always is at these places, and all of a sudden, Harlan let go of my hand and busted a move. He was a dancing fool. It was like he heard the music and it just inspired him to move! Loved it!!

Mommy and Harlan made it to the park before everyone else so we had some time to kill in the parking lot. Harlan spent it turning every knob and button in Mommy's car.

And playing with Mommys work badge...that is always a favorite for him.

Harlan in Gigi's glasses. Too cool for you.

Seeking shelter from the rain,

and sharing my shelter with aunt lissa!

Laryn, Lissa, and Libby walking through the waterpark

In the water park they have a wave simulator, and you can try surfing. We spent alot of time at this attraction as my sister and brother were trying to perfect their techniques. Mommy did attempt the "kiddie" wave once. There are no pics (thank god) and will never be spoken of agian, it was that bad haha
Can you see her?? this is aunt lissa (i think, could be libby?) bustin a wave

Harlan and Gigi watching the action

This picture is funny. The stranger there is a guy that works at the water park and i guess spends his days off surfing at the park. He was apparently giving Libby some surfing advice, and as they were talking, Gigi and I noted libby checking him out, with a look up and down him. and look at Big brother Laryn, not looking happy about the situation!

Harlan looking and dreaming of the day he too can try out the waves.

Here goes Libby again

Go Libby Go

Uncle Laryn wiped out

Trying to save face after his wipeout....he got much better as the day went on

Harlan in the life jacket they required of him in the wave pool. doesnt he look thrilled??

fun videos

Harlan talking on the phone to his dada. *disclaimer* please ignore justins insensitive comment on the phone (and if you dont catch it, all the better,) its just his sarcastic sense of humor sense of humor.(which can be inappropriate, esp on bubs blog, but i wasnt gonna let his comment ruin a great video)


Libby took this video in the backseat of the car. When she showed it to me, i could not stop laughing!

Just a couple things

1. Harlan has molars. They are very slow coming in, but i can feel the little tips of the bottom ones coming in. Word of advice, when feeling for molars, you have to put your finger in through the cheek area of the mouth, or you end up getting bit!

2. Harlan is a wild man. We stopped at the mall play area yeaterday and he literally mowed over kids twice his size. He didnt care who was in his way he was going where he wanted. And he kept running away from Mommy, and threw a FIT when i put him back in the stroller. A kicking, bucking his hips kinda fit. But was back to my happy lovey baby within minutes of leaving the play area.

3. Harlan loves bananas and if he sees one, will grab your pant leg, look at you, and say "nana, nana, nana" until you give him a bite of banana

4. Yesterday, while eating at a restuarant, Harlan purposefully threw his food on the floor. Mommy smacked his hand and said no. Harlan then looked at Mommy and said "bad?" with just the right inflection in his voice that you knew he was asking a question. Let the Mommy guilt begin.

Future Blackmail??

Ho downs and cupcakes

Last night Harlan went as Mommy's "date" to a co-workers birthday party. It was a ho down themed party and we had a wonderful time. Harlan flirted with all the girls and tried some line-dancing.

This is Harlan sititng on the saddle. he looks good and he knows it!

Chocolate face

Playing with some new friends

He wore himself out chasing the older boys


So much fun!!!

Having a pow-wow

Today Mommy bought Harlan a cupcake just because (and he has certainly been a good boy)

Taking Elmo off and testing it out

yummy




He really enjoyed it, and it must have filled his belly bc it was all he ended up eating for dinner. OOPPSS!! I guess there are worst things you could have for dinner!
