...and we don't stop

This spring and summer have been BUSY!!!  And in case you doubt it, here is photographic evidence....  WARNING: my memory card just threw up on this blog.  Beware of obscene amount of photos.

This first set is from Messy Day at Eli's school.  Chad was a parent helper and after I threatened his life if he didn't, he took photos for me.



These are from my parents' house at their pool.  Eli is getting to be very brave when it comes to the water which is a big difference from last year.  Ever have your kid in swim lessons and there is this other kid crying, screaming, trying to climb out of the pool to the door to release him from his watery hell in earth?  Yeah, that was Eli last year.  Not so anymore. 

 Evie on the other hand....she leaps in the pool and goes completely under before we pull her up. She is our adventurer.

And Chad...well if it was ever in question whether he still had it...it being skills...he still does.

Here we are at our second home, Longwood Gardens. 

Those poor geese...never knew what hit them.  Eli the predator strikes again. 

Best way to end the day....eating a pink flower cookie that happens to be the size of your face.

Here we are at Dutch Wonderland...best place on earth!  Evie had a lot of firsts here....

First ride alone with her bro.... 

I think she is seriously crushing him.... 

 Eli's friends for 2 and a half years now.

 Evie's first log flume ride!

Hitting up the water park at DW. 

Someone cross off fish wrangling from Evie's bucket list.

Evie's first ice cream cone!  It took her FOREVER and a day to eat it, but she is cutest licker ever! 

Gotta love this ice cream grin!

Went to the Strawberry Festival today.   

So here is Eli on this super tall ride that takes you up slowly and then drops you fast!  He just made the height requirement, so when he begged to go on it....I of course did not want him to go, but relented when Chad said he could handle it.  Just so you know, the below picture is what it looked like from afar.... 

YIKES!  He did it and I videotaped it.  He cried a little at the end, but recovered quickly and was all smiles.  I guess we'll see if it scarred him when we go to our next ride excursion.  :)
