The United Way of Cass Clay was hosting The Cat and the Hat at Rheault Farms on Saturday, June 4th. The weather was perfect so MaKena and I decided to spend the day at Rheault Farms to see Cat in the Hat. Unfortunately daddy was busy working on Willie’s (Lonnie and Ardis’s neighbor) deck so he wasn’t able to join us. When we got to Rheault Farms it was hard to decide which activity to do first. There were so many to choose from. We quickly got in line to get MaKena’s face painted. As we stood in line I asked MaKena what she wanted on her face and to no surprise she said a horse. Once it was her turn she sat down and the guy (yes, we got the only guy at the face painting table) asked MaKena what she wanted. He quickly got her to change her mind and she agreed to have a pink flower instead!
After the face painting station we headed over to make our own book. We didn’t really make a book; MaKena just colored and wrote her name. Then we spoiled our lunch and had some free ice cream and watched Penny and Pals. I don’t think MaKena is a big Penny and Pals fan. She didn’t really care too much about what was going on. After a quick lunch we stood in line to have her picture taken with none other than the Cat in the Hat. The line was long but worth the wait! She waited like a big girl and when it was her turn to get her picture taken with the Cat in the Hat she had no problem sitting on his knee and saying cheese. I was worried that I’d have to be in the picture with her!
When we finished visiting with Cat in the Hat we checked out the fire truck and police car. MaKena really liked sitting in both and asking the firemen and police officer questions. It was cute. Then we headed back over to the blow up toys and did a lot of jumping in the crayon jumper and climbed up the slide several times. We couldn’t leave without playing on the jungle gym. Finally I had had enough fun for one day and decided it was time to leave. The melt down didn’t start until it was time to go!

"Making" her own book. She told me she was drawing a dinosaur!
This was a mommy dinosaur.
Drawing her name! Can you see it? She is writing the a at the end of her name.
Jumping in he crayon jumper. She LOVED jumping.
More jumping.
