Picnic

We went to Hallettsville for the Memorial Day Picnic and had a great time. Jillian enjoyed helping peel potatoes the day before the picnic and then we enjoyed an evening at Uncle Father Jim's where we had Mass and Jillian got to make and fly a kite. Unfortunately those pictures are on Mom's camera though.

On Sunday we headed to the picnic and Jillian was acting like a monkey while we waited for the games to open!
When she wants her picture taken she can sure pose for pictures but when she is not interested she will definitely let you know



She also practiced her jumping at the pavilion. This is her new thing - she likes to run around and say, "I'm jumping!" I guess she was practicing for the jumpy castle.
Jillian was very interested in the games this year and was ready to go! Last year she was still really scared. I think it helped that on Friday afternoon she was invited to a birthday party at a jumpy place so she knew what it was all about by Sunday

She even wanted to do the big one, which I was concerned about b/c there were so many big kids in the way. She just patiently waited her turn though and when no one was around
she made her way up. The girl at the top was trying to help Jillian but she didn't want help, she wanted to do it all by herself.
She also enjoyed riding the train again this year
She also experienced her 1st snow cone. She is really into eating ice lately so we thought it would be perfect for her. Daddy even was smart by getting purple to match her dress


It was a great day but unfortunately we had to leave early since James and I both had to work on Memorial Day. We were not there when Mom and Dad's name was drawn to win a brand new truck!
