Idlewild!

We took a day trip to Idlewild last Saturday.  It was kind of spur of the moment, but we had two extra helpers along, so it was pretty great :)


The first ride of the day was the carousel -- one of many rides around.  All our kids love this one!





We also saw the park's Princess Lilly.  They are working on her castle in Storybook forest (maybe we'll see her there next year).


Pineapple girls waiting in line!


We were waiting to get on a trolley to visit Daniel Tiger!


This boy loved this car-ride. Worked the steering wheel the whole time :)


Daddy was brave enough to do this one with the girls:


Idlewild has a cute Storybook forest area and we took Peter's picture with his sign:

After Storybook Forest we went to the water-park area (and left the camera in the van).  It was pretty hot, so we loved the wave pool and splash pad.  Everyone rode through the lazy river, and Peter fell asleep!! I took him back to the towels and he slept for a little bit while the others played.


We were only in this ball-pit for about 3 minutes, but it was fun!



Here were our helpers -- Mawna and Pap! :)


The fishing game was a must-do item on the girls' list, so here they are. 

and they picked penguins as their prize!
We had dinner and rode some more rides.  After watching the American Music "show", we closed the park! It was a long, full day :)

Wedding!

Congratulations to the new Mr. and Mrs. Martin! :) We attended Natalie and Dallas' wedding on Saturday and had a lovely time. We know both the bride and groom from college....and just happen to be great friends with the bride's parents as well (Hi Bill and Doreen!). Here is the new couple - Natalie looked beautiful, and Dallas looked pretty good too ;) Here I am with the bride - check out her BLUE shoes! No wedding is complete without a little dancing and singing....particularly to Livin on a Prayer....Steve, Jeff, and Kevin sang at the top of their lungs and performed an air guitar solo: even the bride joined in: We had a great time! I'm thinking of the honeymooners.....kind of wishing I was on a tropical island somewhere too! :)

Baby Pool

Want to guess when Baby #2 is going to arrive? Post a comment, or send me an email, with your guess and I'll add you in! As a review, here are the rules to the game (taken from Heather Deterding!): 1. Post your guess for the baby's arrival in the "comment" section. Be sure to specify both date and time of day -- either "am" or "pm". 2. Limit one guess per person, and only one entry per time slot-- no sharing! 3. Winner is determined based on time of birth. For example, if the baby is born on April 20th at 7 AM, a guess of "April 20th, AM" would be the winner. In the event that there is no entry for the correct arrival time, the next closest guess based on actual time of birth would win. 4. We will post entries on the Calendar above. Check prior entries before placing your guess! Dates not displayed on the calendar above are still up for grabs. 5. The winner will receive... bragging rights and a congratulatory post h
