Redford Picnic...

The Catholic church up the street from us hosts the annual Redford picnic. It is also the home of the oldest carousel in the western hemisphere. The local story is that it was built between 1910 to 1920 and it was left behind by a traveling carnival that went bankrupt. We also heard that years ago Disney wanted to buy the carousel for millions of dollars, but Redford declined the offer. In addition to riding the carousel, we spent the day eating food and playing booth games with our friends, who also lives in Redford.

Beckett and Payson enjoying cotton candy.
Payson fishing for a prize.


A little game of mini golf.

Excited for the carousel to start.

Beckett asking to get off.
Payson begging for the ride to end.
We went back later, after Paul woke up,
so he could ride the carousel too.
A tractor engine is used
to power the carousel.



A few pictures from our 
most recent trip to Parc Safari...


Paul and Beckett enjoying the water slide.

Payson getting mad a Paul for forcing him to go down the slide.
Beckett running up the hill to go down the slide again.
Paul took him down, at least, 15 times.

You are seriously the most active family. Your kids are so lucky that they have a mom who provides them with so many amazing experiences and memories. I think it is hilarious how Beckett loved the water slide and Payson hated it. Siblings can be so different. lol
