labor day

for labor day we went to thanksgiving point

first we went to the museum of ancient life

 it was fun but we were definitely glad

our science center pass from pullman got us in for free

because it was pretty overpriced

 then we went to the petting zoo

which, with our children who fear animals (mostly noah), went really well

 hazel was the only one of our children brave enough to do the pony ride

so she got to do it twice and use noah's ticket

as a former member of a pony club i was very proud

 we went on a wagon ride

and eleanor loved the bumpy ride

this is maybe my favorite picture of her ever

 then after a long day spent at thanksgiving point

we went to noah's school per his request and let the kids play at the playground

before we came home

and apparently we hadn't done enough yesterday

because busy miss busypants still had enough energy

to get into my lipstick, smother her face with it 

and even got some on my purse, it's contents and the carpet

but at least she looks smug about it

i really don't think she thought a thing of it unlike hazel
apparently it's a right of passage in our family
