Time for FRIDAY FAVORITES friends!
One.
I am SO EXCITED to announce the second annual #StarSpangledKids link up! I had this crazy idea last year and it turned out even more amazing than I imagined it would be. This year I’ve got a whole bunch of friends joining me in hosting and I can’t wait to see everyone all dressed in their red, white, and blue. Mark your calendars for July 1 and link up with us!
Two.
We had an awesome Father’s Day and BTR even got one of the items from my Father’s Day gift guide, a Festool Systainer Cart! He loves it, he told me so. :)
Three.
We hit the splash pad up for the first time this summer and it was awesome. We met some of our friends and Jude had a blast! I can’t wait for us to go back!
Four.
I’m kind of obsessed with this little family of mine. Jude has been the sweetest to Ezra lately and when I hear him say his name I pretty much melt. He’s already the best big brother!
Oh and that guy? He’s pretty much the best husband and father ever. Even when I’m a bit crazy!
Five.
IT’S FRIDAY. Let’s have a drink to celebrate surviving the week, ok? Even better, make it a walktail!
Cheers for the weekend friends!
And as always, I’m linking up with all the lovely ladies listed on my linkup page! And don’t forget to like Ellie And Addie on Facebook or follow me on Instagram! And you can always follow along behind the scenes on Snapchat! Find me at: ellieandaddie
![Boo Fest at @midamericaofficial was the best kind of fall day 🎃👻
Luke was all in on Kid’s Boo Fest while Brandon and the big kids headed straight for the roller coasters. The fall food menu is SO good! We tried the Phantom Pizza and other snacks, and the IV drinks at The Blood Bank were a hit. And it isn’t a trip to the park without a waffle cone! 🍦
We bought season passes this year so we could visit all summer and all fall, and I can’t wait to do it again next year!
🎃 Boo Fest is on Saturdays and Sundays from park open until 6pm. It’s the perfect event for little ones, with their favorite rides, a candy trail, spooky story time, and more!
👻 Want to go after dark? Fright Fest runs select nights from 6pm to 11pm. It’s included with park admission and season passes (haunted houses are a separate add-on) and is geared toward teens and adults. Brandon is taking the big boys to experience it. I’m too chicken! 🙈
Head to the @midamericaofficial website for all the dates, times, and tickets.
Thank you, Mid America Adventure, for having us out to experience Boo Fest for the first time!

I’m so excited about the link up and to cohost! It’s so much fun! That is a super fun Father’s Day gift. Jude looks amazed by the splash pad. Gotta love it! Have a great weekend.
Water is his favorite! And I can’t wait for the link up either!
Thanks for organizing the link-up! Thrilled to be co-hosting this year!!!
I’m so excited to see everyone in their red, white, and blue!
Walk tails for the win!
So excited for the star spangled kids link up!
Walktails always win!
Can’t wait to join the link up. :)
Yay!!! I can’t wait to see everyone dressed up!
Loved the link up last year. Can’t wait to play along again. =) Happy Fathers Day, BTR!
YAY! I can’t wait to see what you come up with! :)
You have the best ideas! Thank you for including me- so excited! I already have the girls outfits laid out ;)
You are my Fourth of July buddy!!! :) Oh and Brandon’s little sister’s birthday is also on the Fourth, more reasons to celebrate!
You would LOVE my InLaws 4th of July celebrations, my FIL is retired Marines and has the best flag collection and fireworks haha.
Aw, I love that last picture! Such a wonderful family :)
Thanks friend!
Your boys are so cute! I hope you had a great weekend!
Thank you so much Stefanie! I hope you had a fun one too!
I am so so excited about the Star Spangled Kids link-up! Thanks for letting me co-host with you! I sent you my photo, let me know if you didn’t get it. That cart sound amazing! Yay for Splashpads! We don’t have one near us, but we found something really cool this weekend. The big church in our town has a little tiny splashpad. It’s literally just a circle, but I think Mason could have fun in it. And I could take some pictures. Win, win! Your family is the sweetest and I just adore these photos!
I can’t wait to see your Star Spangled pictures, you always get the best shots! And go check out that splash pad, water is water! :)
