Bikes, Toys, Amusement Park, Water Park, Camping, Cold Rainy Weather
Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding - we have a winner - and sadly, our weather just sucked. It was cold. It was rainy. That is acutally an understatement, it rained for 3 days straight with high temperatures around 70. I don't think I have ever had to wear jeans and a jacket on the 4th of July before. Oh, and did I mention that on the day of our arrival our hot water tank broke?
It wasn't all bad, we tried to make the best of it. We went to Idlewild with umbrellas and ponchos - and got LOTS of use out of them. It was neat to walk through Storybook Forest, and take a Trolley ride through Mister Rodger's Neighborhood of Make Believe. The kids had fun riding the rides, and even braved to play at the waterpark for a very short, cold time. We watched a lot of rain, and I discovered that although I am intriqued by a time of horse transportation and the wild west, I really don't want to live in the 1800's - I NEED hot running water.
I didn't get a lot of pictures over the weekend, kinda hard to carry an umbrella and the camera...but here are a few. We will be going back for another weekend before summer is over, and hopefully the weather is much more cooperative.
You are hilarious! I cannot imagine cold rainy weather-I am starting to become a spoiled Southerner! YIKES! It sounds like a really awesome place-maybe next summer I should plan on going there. I love the pics of the kids. Trace's adorbale grin, Taylor's beautiful smile! How do you stand having such good looking kids? I love the last pic of Trace looking out the window at the rain.
ReplyDeleteIt rained here on the 4th, too. We had jackets on most of the day too, so I feel your pain. It sounds like a super fun place that you went to, though. We might have to try and make it over there someday! Love the pic of Tay on the bumpter car (Kylie would so love that sweatshirt), and the one of Trace looking out the window at the rain - too cute!
ReplyDeleteSorry it was rainy for your weekend! I'm glad you managed to have some fun though. I also love the last pic of Trace! Any Disney plans coming up :) ??
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry that you had such bummer weather. Love the pictures of the kids, especially the last one of Trace looking out the window.
ReplyDeleteugh - darn weather! It sucks when mother nature tries to take away the fun! Cute pic of Trace looking out the window at the stupid rain!
ReplyDeleteThat looks like such a cool park! Too bad it was so rainy. That photo of Trace at the window looks like something Parker would do.
ReplyDeleteI didn't comment on your last post, but I think it is great to eat ice cream for breakfast sometimes. Especially on those hot summer days. How different from cereal is it really? Just a little colder. :-)
Glad we got together this week. Let me know anytime you are nearby again!
Bummer! Sorry our PA crappy weather showed it's love for you guys! I can't wait until it stops! It's still the pits around here! I think you snagged a few good shots of the kids having fun anyways despite the rain! They are just too cute!
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear that it rained for 3 days straight! It looks like you guys still had a fun trip though! Love the pictures of your cuties!
ReplyDeleteHopefully, I can meet up with you the next time you are in VA!
What a bummer about the miserable weather! Hopefully you will get to go back soon and really enjoy it. From the pictures, it looks like the kids had a blast anyway! I love the on of the two of them togteher - precious!
