THE SLIDE IS FUN. THE HIGH DIVE WAS SCARY. I was shocked that Victoria climbed up and went off so bravely. I did not. I screamed. Like a little girl. Eh.
One of the Labor Day festivities was a pie eating contest. After my initial disappointment that it was a slice of a pie and not an entire pie has subsided, we were ready to dig in. Although apparently, a pie eating contest is a face only thing. Which we did not realize. It was hilarious.
I had lots of peaches in my nose, but I beat Vic and the nice lady gave us both coupons for $.50 off the snack bar because... well I think she felt sorry for us. That's fine. We bough CHIPS.
Finley was considerably cuter at eating pie. Such a neat little fellow. He was definitely the youngest kid up there and did not get the racing aspect of it. Still adorable though.
The video is helpful for demonstrating HOW TALL the platform was. I don't think people believed me.
ReplyDeleteThis is just an awesome post all around. I tried to go up a high dive once a few years ago and yes, I did walk BACK down the ladder because I chickened out. Only to be told by a boy "I am 9 and I have already jumped off tons of times". Total. Embarrassment. Someday though, someday I will conquer it.
ReplyDeleteSeeing all the kids jump off it definitely peer pressured me into doing it! And then Vic went first like it was no big deal!
DeleteFinley + Pie Eating Contest = Adorable.
ReplyDeleteYou're brave to jump off that thing...screams or no screams. Jumping off of high things is not my spiritual gifting.

HA. Yeah... sometimes we have to do scary things. :)
DeleteSlow and steady did not win the race this time Finley but good try!
ReplyDeleteNice GIANT knives left right next to the 4 year old! Safety.
ReplyDeleteI love Finley. The cleanest pie eating contestant ever. Nothing phased him. He was just enjoying the pie! :)
