Family Fun Day



Today was "Family Fun Day" at the YMCA....so this morning we packed up waters and snacks and headed over. The kids got grab bags that had Shannon Hospital water bottles, necklaces to hook water bottles to, a bracelet, and other little random stuff. They got to do lots of outdoor activities, and after that, they got to go spin a big wheel which would tell them what prize they won. Shaylee won a yoga mat but wasn't too excited about it...so she was able to pick a Baton instead, and Cayden won a Ninja Turtles kite. He didn't really know who the Ninja Turtles were until about a year ago when his cousins Conner & Colton gave him a bunch of their toys, including 3 of the Turtles. The lady who gave him the kite didn't know what they were called...so Cayden explained who they were to her. It was very cute!





This guy wanted Cayden to practice before the race since he was the youngest kid there and was afraid he wouldn't know how to do it. Cayden TOOK OFF in that sack and we were all calling after him and he would turn around and look at us, and then KEEP GOING!!! He was INCREDIBLY fast (faster than all the older kids there!) and he did NOT want to stop. Everybody thought he was SOOO cute. Shaylee ended up winning the race since Cayden never turned around...but if he HAD...HE would have won!!! This kid is more athletic than we thought!!!




Here is a pic of Shaylee winning the race. As you can see...she didn't have much competition...they were all way behind her!


Bear Hugs. Cayden asked if he could go back and hug the Bear and the Drop of Blood (yes, a Drop of blood mascot) again because they were so soft!!


This guy was teaching Cayden how to get low before throwing the football. He was REALLY funny so Cayden couldn't stop laughing! The guy (through his own laughter) kept telling Cayden to stop laughing...EVERYONE around was laughing!


The Perfect Throw

I think Cayden had to go to the bathroom in this one! Shaylee was jump roping and boy was she fast!

Water Sports...those guys got SOAKED! Addy and I kept a safe distance!!
