Chuckee, Funnel Cake, and Tap Shoes

Daddy loves him some Chuckee Cheese

Yum! Funnel Cake!

Looking for more Funnel Cake

The USO sponsored a free event on Saturday which featured Sesame Street. Great, right? Well, the USO did not foresee the number of Marine families who like "free". So, we waited in line and got turned away. Bummer.

Daddy made up for it when he took us to Chuckee Cheese. Let me tell you, Jacksonville, NC is not what you'd call a high class town. The scenery goes as follows: strip club, pawn shop, gas station, church, strip club, strip club, strip club, pawn shop. However, it has an awesome Chuckee Cheese. It is so new and clean. We had a great time! McKenna danced with Chuckee and Bubby decided he does not like to wear shoes. Very eventful!



On Sunday, we had more fun when we went to Hampstead's Spot Festival. Hampstead is a town about 25 miles south of Sneads Ferry and a Spot is a fish. I asked the locals what a Spot was and they looked at me like I had horns growing out of my head. I explained I was from Ohio, and they understood my stupidity. Anyway, the festival was a good time. McKenna went on the rides and Bubby had a piece of funnel cake. Whoa, did he dig the funnel cake! Strangely, there was not a spot fish in sight. The highlight of the festival was watching the 80+ category of "The Dancing with the Stars" dance competition. It was kind of like watching a car wreck. I was horrified, but I couldn't look away. Those oldies can shake it better than I can!



When we got home from the festival, McKenna had a surprise. Her tap shoes had finally arrived! (She starts dance class next week.) She tried them out after her bath. Enjoy the footage.

Patrick doesn't look like he"love" Chuckee Cheese to me but the kids sure do. I played McKenna's video about 10 times-so funny, not really tap dancing but so funny. Keep up the videos-I love them! I can't believe how much Bubby has changed just I was there. Definately not a baby anymore. Did you try the sippee cup yet?
Miss you lots! Love to all. . .

Nammy-He is not digging the sippy cup. He likes to throw it around. McKenna likes to shove it in his mouth. It's all very traumatizing to him.

What is a Spot Fish? Hornes growing out of your head? You have lived with Patrick too long. I love the videos just wish they were longer. You will have to video tap dance class.Bubby in the frig reminds of a picture I have of his Dad helping me clean it out. They sure are beautiful and I surely miss them! Love XOXOXOX

Did you go to the Mullett Festival in Swansboro? I thought it was devoted to the haircut...it's not. Apparently a mullett is also some kind of sea creature.

Kids are cute as always. Got your portraits today....you'll be getting V's soon since I sent mine yesterday. Great minds STILL think alike.

Miss you BFF!

Oh, and my word verification is pvk. How funny is that???

Kim said...

Mandy-There's a mullet festival?!? Why did I not know? You always know the haps. Love you. My verification is tawanda. Also funny.

Is there no end to McKenna's talents--singing, dancing, teaching???? What's with Bubby--a door opens and he has to try to get inside? They are both as adorable as ever--the pics came today--we love them all!!! Miss you and will see you soon.

I say save your money. McKenna...already knows the moves! LOVE the video. I heard McBoss say dance Daddy. She's just never going to allow a wall flower. Hmmm, I'm feeling left out. I didn't receive any pics....
Miss you guys lots and lots.
Aunt Amy

Amanda said...

Yes, the Mullett Fest is in August I think.... ??

Tawanda is a better verification word for sure.

Kim said...

Aunt Amy-Yours are coming! I only had time to get four envelopes weighed. So yours are patiently waiting to be shipped.
Love you!
