Jogging, Shopping, Carnival, and a Movie

Yesterday was a pretty busy day for us and one of the best I've had in a long time!  I started out my day with a 5 mile run on the Jordan Parkway behind Thanksgiving Point with my mom and her Rhodesian Ridgeback, Tess. 
When I got back, we got ready and went up to the outlets at Traverse Mountain and I scored some awesome deals!  Then it was on to the Strawberry Days Carnival in Pleasant Grove! We got there right when it opened so there was hardly anybody there yet.  That is best time to go for sure.  This was Mabel's first time on any rides and she LOVED it.
Her very first ride!  
 
Look at that cute face!
On the lady bug.  She was a bit nervous when it lifted up high but she liked it!


On the train.  Couldn't quite reach the steering wheel...


Flying Saucers! 


On the carousel. This was her favorite!  I had to pry her off the horse at the end.   Please excuse the awful angle and my fat looking arm...


Stawberries and cream!  So good!


Watching the carousel and asking to get back on!

 
 

Strawberry Days in PG is the highlight of every June!  I'm missing living there right now but hopefully we will go to the rodeo again.   She did NOT want to leave at the end and she was disappointed she couldn't ride the Ferris wheel.  I think she will be a thrill seeker when she's older.  Next we took some naps (I got a long one while Eric took Mabel out to eat and then to the park.  Bless that husband of mine!) and then went to Monster's University with my company.  She liked Monsters and everyone around us thought she was the cutest dancing in the isle and laughing at everything.  I wish we had more days like that!

Yay, Mabel is a rockstar for being so happy on all the rides! I hope Lily is like that.
