Happy Hollow

 Instead of a big trip for Memorial, we did kind of a "stay-cation" weekend full of fun activities.  Saturday we went to Happy Hollow.  We've been there in the past, in fact we have a membership, but Claire never liked the rides (which is like 30% of the park and 75% of the fun). It was a little bit discouraging at first, but I figured it was a sunk cost and got over it.  Well, in the past like 4 months since we've been, something in that little brain changed and all of the sudden she LOVES the rides.  It made it so much more fun!  I mean seriously, isn't this face the definition of pure joy??:

 Family pic on "Danny the Dragon".  Claire loved the swings, but more so the fact that she was tall enough to ride them.  "I'm tall to go on the swings, Mom!"  she kept saying.  Nate was a super dad and even fed the goats at the petting zoo.  A great day!
