"YES GRACIE!"

Last Friday before I went to pick up Kaulana from school I took the boys to Freestone park to feed the ducks. Well they also have rides there and they are officially open since the hot summer months were open... and Kala enjoyed feeding the ducks, but was more excited to finish feeding the ducks when I promised we could stop and see the rides when we were done. (Besides the ducks were being CRAZY. The were grabbing the bread out of Kala's hands and wouldn't back up even when I kicked at them! One was pecking at his arm when he turned around to get more bread from me. Nutty ducks!) The rides were a couple dollars each so I decided he could just sit in the ones that didn't cost money and we would come back for a family date when Kaulana was on break from school. Kala was entranced by all the rides but seemed ok with waiting for Kaulana. There were a few people about 30 ft away from us that were talking. One mom was asking her son if he wanted to ride with their little friend Gracie... Kala heard and shouted out "YES, GRACIE!". He was convinced they were talking to him and he DEFINITELY, ABSOLUTELY wanted to ride with Gracie. I just could not break my sweet little man's heart he wanted to ride so bad.... so yes, i caved and he rode with Gracie. He did not crack a single smile on the ride, he would barely even look at me. But he begged and begged to ride again as we drove away. Benson was all smiles too. He loved all the lights. He just talked and talked while we were around the rides and all the fun lights. But as soon as we got in the car. He cried and cried. Because heaven forbid if he's not having fun, he remembers.... HE'S HUNGRY! haha so glad to have so much fun with these two handsome boys.
