A few pics from our adventures this evening - Wyatt's first time at the
Mardi Gras! As soon as we walked in the door, Wyatt spotted the candy machines, although I can't think of a time he has ever tried candy, he just LOVES these things & shouts "Candy! Candy!" Imagine his surprise (and mine) when he found a Mike & Ike still in the machine that some poor soul had left behind when they purchased their quarters worth. Without skipping a beat, Wyatt popped it into his mouth & his eyes lit up with delight...I am beginning to think he is taking after his mom, whose own mother has some great "candy isle horror stories" from my childhood! (
Love you, Mom) After that, Wyatt spotted another candy machine by the exit - this one a bubble gum machine that spits the gumballs into a mini "arena" where you then use a lever on the outside of the machine to try to "shoot" the gumball into a basket. I turn my head for one split second, and the next thing I know Wyatt is calling out to me "Whistle, whistle" and he has his mouth (yes, during flu season) wrapped around the lever on the outside of the machine - the lever that every grubby thumb in the area has been on. In his defense, it really did look like a whistle.
The bowling was a lot of fun though, and then we headed out for some Mexican food. Seth & I were delighted that Wyatt enjoyed dinner with us like a real adult - serving himself with his spoon & even making the casual observation into conversations at nearby tables. We thought that deserved a little fried ice cream, don't you?

Better load that kid up on some Vitamin C and you'll hopefully avoid sickness. It looks like a lot of fun!
I hope that Wyatt's candy addiction wasn't caused by Auntie Jean's Halloween lolly.
