Half Time

Summer is half over! We have done so much during the month of July, sailing, beach, vacation, late nights, sleepovers, boat rides, etc.. Some of us are still going strong, but as you can see, Jack obviously needed a nap yesterday afternoon.

PS - Shawnie learned to fly....

Our Family Vacation in NH...WARNING....a lot of pics!

We had such a blast on our vacation this year. Lots of fun and lots of laughs. We should have known it was going to be great when we crossed the bridge only to hear, "Life can't get any better than this!" from Matthew, under a blanket with a pillow, eating a donut and watching a DVD.

We did so many things....

Our first stop was Santa's Village.

As we entered, we had no idea how much 0f a daredevil Molly would be....

...cool as a cucumber on the Log Ride.
No hands on the rides....

But the family favorite was the Reindeer Roller Coaster. Luckily we had the whole park to ourselves and must have rode this coaster at least 30 times! Molly wasn't scared at all and even rode in the very back before Matthew and Jack.

Of course a visit to the candy shoppe!

We fed Santa's reindeer.

Back at the condo, Molly and Shawn had their first sleepover together.

And ZOOM, our Christmas Elf, appeared for a special visit in the morning. He must have seen us at Santa's Village.

Six Gun City

Yet another roller coaster at an empty park. We were the only ones in line so we just stayed on over and over again.

Bumper Boats

Go -Karts

A picnic lunch in the mountains.

Water Fun

Clark's Trading Post

The highlight was the train ride....

We screamed through the tunnnel...

.....and chased down the Wolfman.

We even managed to go out to dinner that night....yum!

But the funniest sight was seeing "Cheryl" on the side of a van!

We all chanted together...."Gotta Go!"

A huge THANK YOU to Linda and Judd for allowing us to use their condo. We all made such wonderful memories thanks to you.

Out on the water by themselves........

Sailing Lessons

Matthew and Jack took their first sailing lesson yesterday out on the water. They LOVED it!

Molly, Shawn and I played on the beach for a while and eventually went out on the boat to get a closer look at the boys. Shawn was scared the whole time and cried. Molly tantrumed getting on the boat, all she wanted to do was stay on the beach and play with her new friends. She complained the whole time wanting to go back to the club. Now what?
