Candytopia

One of my friends bought tickets to Candytopia for the the boys for Christmas, so we decided to check it out.[[


I was wondering if it would be better to leave Finn with someone, but one of my friends who had already been assured me that he would love it just as much as Fox.

You go from room to room and the kids (and adults) collect candy from treasure chests. Luckily we didn't bring a bag, so we could only take what we could carry in our pockets and that was more than enough!

His first ring pop...he was a big fan!




I was pretty impressed when Fox was able to name all of the "paintings" in their art gallery room.

Isn't it crazy that every single piece is candy? I loved it just as much as the kids, although for different reasons.






In this particular room the kids were able to push around the giant inflatable balls. We had to be careful for Finn not to get run over though...ha! 

It wasn't crowded at all there, so we had all the time in the world in each room and we probably spent the most time in this one.







This was my favorite room. They shot out confetti at you from all angles, Fox and I thought it was awesome and Finn was terrified.





And the grand finale...the giant marshmallow pit. When we saw pictures of this online I assumed that these were real marshmallows, but they weren't, which is probably the more sanitary way to do it. I don't even want to know how many germs are in there.


It was really hard to navigate around all of the marshmallows and keeping Finn afloat.




Fox declared Candytopia as his new favorite place and literally asked to go back dozens of times after this day. It was a great day and I'm so grateful I got to experience this with my boys!

July iPhone dump

The rest of our July in pictures! Movie date with the boys! I took Finn and his best friend to the Aquarium one day, while Fox was at the allergist with Katie. They both had a blast. Trying to touch the sting rays... Sweet brotherly moment at a play place. One of my patients made this for me, and it made my day. It's now hanging from the mirror in my car, as a reminder how fragile life is. This kid kills me with his watermelons. He always wants to buy them, so he can help me cut them, but then won't eat them. When I pointed this out to him, he simply replied that I could take the watermelon to my co-workers again because they love it when I do.  Fox told me he is allergic to Goodwill and puts on this big act whenever I make them go. His throat starts to be itchy and he can't breathe. We might have to get him tested again...hahaha. We visited a lot of play places this summer to stay out of the heat. This was at a library and the kids played with this lite-brite forever. Finn...

August iPhone dump

Some moments from my August... Coffee treats during busy shifts! Fox had a pool playdate with some friends. First day of middle school! Unfortunately I had to work and couldn't send him off that day, but my favorite co-parent came through with some pictures from the bus stop. Found a bunch of these selfies on my phone haha. On the way to school one morning, middle school is rough apparently. A quick brunch with friends to celebrate the end of summer break! My sweet friend Nikki gave me this bucket full of beautiful dresses that she had outgrown. A lot of them still had tags on them! Dinner date with the boys, they preferred playing a game together instead of talking to me...haha! Homework struggles have begun again! Sweet treats after school while we wait for Finn to get off the bus. Unfortunately their buses arrive an hour apart from each other, so we have a lot of waiting around because the bus stop is too far from my house.  He was helping me make schnitzel! We watched Bad guys ...
