The Murphy Family

We were so lucky to get Aunt Mandy to come for a short visit this weekend. Mason LOVES having people visit and has to hold their hand the whole weekend, I hope Mandy didn't mind. We had a great time and Aunt Mandy was so sweet and bought Mason a Build-A-Bear. Unfortunately they had a stroller at the front of the store, so Mason just wanted to push that around the whole time.

Baking time. I bought Mason his own little apron but he insists on wearing the giant red one always, so Daddy had to wear Mason's. I think it works for him. His very own push up pop. LOVED IT! Mason was much more into the arcade than anything else at Lagoon. His happiest moments of the day were, the one above, and pushing all the buttons in the arcade. Me, trying to get Mason to ride the teeny, tiny, little Kermit the frog thingy. Let's just say, he did not attempt any of the rides at Lagoon. Which we were totally okay with. Prego Dana + Lagoon=yuckiness. We just walked around and people watched. Mason wouldn't touch the water. It was cold, but I think even if it had been warm he was determined not to do anything having to do with the place after we walked by the kiddie train and it blew its whistle. That pretty much ruined the day for him. Mason and his best friend Maddy. They were putting these marble things down their onesies and Maddy decided she was goin...
