Eden Corn Fest

We went to the Eden Corn Fest this evening. here are just a couple pictures of Courtney and Caden on rides, that I had to take with the cell phone because of couse I left the camera at home! Caden loved the rides, until we bought him the ride all day pass (figures) because it was a wrist band it had to be worn on the wrist. Well because Caden and his autism/sensory disorder, he doesn't like anything touching him, or on him that is foreign. Needless to say, we ended up putting it on his ankle, over his sock, so he wouldn't realize it was on him. yeah right! Once he saw it, he flipped out and it was pretty much impossible to get him on many rides after that. Basically we ended up spending $60 on rides, when in reality, had we never bought him that wrist/ankle band, we would have saved ourselves and extra $20. My stupid thinking I guess. You know though had we NOT done the ride pass for him, 5 rides would never have cut it. I guess you can never win. Anyway, we all had a good time. We spend about 4-5 hours there, and it was HOT! Had our usual chivetta's chicken dinner YUM!!

Tomorrow we have a family picnic at Caden's old service coordinator house. We are really excited about it. Katie and I have always gotten along great when it came to caden and advice, only because of her position, we could never have a "social" friendship so to speak. Well now that Caden has transitioned out of EI and into CPSE, she is no longer he coordinator and friendships are allowed! yeah!! We are really looking forward to the party and spending time with Katie and her family/friends on a "non professional" level :)
