Raise the Woof!

This past Saturday Brian had softball practice and I really wanted to get the kids out of the house. So... we went to Coggin Park to support Raise the Woof! It was a fundraiser benefitting the Humane Society. Any one in town was invited to come and play games and pet puppies. They had a "kissing booth" where you could donate spare change to kiss a pup, and they had bake sales, a dog show, and even dog Karaoke.

In the past Charlotte loved dogs (she used to run right up to them, which made me very nervous). As she's gotten older, she has become more hesitant and when dogs approach her she says "See Bite". She assumes every animal/insect/person that approaches her is going to bite her. We don't know why.

Liam loved the dogs. I held a puppy up to him and he grabbed it away and hugged it close. It was so cute. He tried to mimick every little bark he heard, and he even participated in the kissing booth!
After spending a morning at the park, we went to the Runaway Train Cafe and had ice cream. Liam ate (almost) an entire grilled cheese sandwich by himself!
