Radke Land

Last fall, Gabe wanted us to remove his training wheels from his bike. He was going short distances and would purposely fall (he thought it was fun!). This summer he started where he left off, but is now riding great!

Do I have a crazy son or what?!?!

Our family riding an elephant (weeeeee!). The kids also enjoyed having a ride on a llama. Maybe next year they can ride the camel, also:)

Gabe wanted to have one that looked like Torrie's, so he got the boy version.

Close-up of Michaela's cool tiger face. Doesn't she look purrrrrrrrrr-fect?? I know, I know, bad bad pun Taffy!

We went to the Renaissance Festival with the Whelans (aka the bestest neighbors in the world) again this year. Gabe and Torrie had their faces painted last year and wanted to have them painted again this year. Michaela decided she didn't want to be left out:)

Look-a ride they can both enjoy, and it's not a carousel!

The kids on the carousel at Valley Fair.

The state fair was a bit wet and gray, but that didn't stop the kids from enjoying themselves:)

Because of height restrictions, Michaela has a limited choice of rides. The carousel never disappoints her, though:)
