Catch-up!

I realize it's been quite awhile since I've blogged. Part of that is because last week my sister came in town with her 2 kids! I was quite excited that she actually made it in. Every time thusfar, that she has planned to come for a visit something would happen in the last minute (usually her or a child would get sick). Well, as expected, we had a blast! I love my sisters. Anyway...her last day here our church was taking their last trip of the summer to Lake Winnipesaukee (Lake Winnie for short). It's basically an amusement park for kids....kinda like a supersized carnival. They do have one wooden roller coaster and a 150 foot free fall, but that's about it as far as really big rides. They have the motorcycles....

the swings....

the little bumblebees....

the ladybugs....

...and quite a few other rides like those for the little kids. Jordan, Austin, and Ashlynn especially loved those things. Daniel and Lily also had fun on those things, but there were quite a few other rides that were a step up from those that they could ride by themselves...(the kiddie roller coaster, the elephants that go pretty high, the gi-normous slide...you know...things I couldn't get a good picture of b/c they're too high up). They felt very big. Here is one ride only Daniel was tall enough for. It was like a mini-freefall. He really liked that.

Those are his little feet dangling up there. Jason and I also took all the kids on the boat schute. That ride was a big hit for the kids. And my sister sat around and watched...since she's 7 months pregnant. She had a lot of fun in the 100 degree weather. After we had done everything once, we let the kids pick out the things they wanted to do again. I think Austin may have rode the motorcycles 5 times in a row.

Little Ashlynn's pigtails didn't quite make it the whole day.

Anyway...the kids had an absolute blast even though it was miserably hot. And we had such a fun time having all of them in town. This week we've started school.....that's right SCHOOL!!!!! My baby boy is in Kindergarten this year. I absolutely cannot believe it. I will be posting about that next.

Oh, and p.s. Can I PLEASE just say that I HATE potty-training? Ok, thanks. :)
