idlewild park

bekah wanted to have her birthday party at idlewild park. we had our family reunions at idlewild when we were growing up and it was fabulous. we thought maybe it would be lame since so much changes when you go back to a favorite childhood destination but it was FABULOUS!! we had a great day. everyone said it was one of their favorite days ever! wow...and for it to be bekah's birthday celebration was so much more exciting. it was like 84 degrees. really hot but the kids LOVED the day. the rides, the pool, everything was great. all three babes didn't nap but they were so well behaved and really appropriate. max was the perfect height to ride everything with us. i rode some rides..i know, i know....pregnant women not allowed to ride but i rode everything that didn't have a harness or would be rough. i rode the paratroopers, ferris wheel, that kind of stuff.  it was so fun...i missed the rollercoasters and the tilt a whirl. i love that stuff...
sasha and daddy on the ferris wheel...
here is wells on a car that i rode when i was a little older than him. we are looking for the picture. he doesn't look happy but he cried every time the ride ended...it was really sad.
little darling sweetpea was nervous initially but when she saw that max was ok...she joined in
so fun...two steering wheels....those idlewild folks know kids
dang that centrifugal force....better him than her....
he's a fish just like his mama. we had to wrestle him out of the pool to get him to this kiddy play area. he really liked it but definitely preferred the pool. nina and sasha loved this play area...
"uncah topher is hoddin me"
he cried getting out of the pool but fell asleep sitting up in his wagon
she crashed as soon as her bum hit the stroller
she never crashed at all...so hilarious. tired but not grouchy...

That looks like so much fun! I wonder if Caleb and Luke would like it too.

I LOVE the picture of Nina squishing Max on the dragon ride! It made me laugh out loud! I can totally hear you laughing while taking the picture! Classic. We haven't braved a water park yet. Mostly because the idea of walking around in a bathing suit all day, terrifies me!
