it was actually a 3 day weekend because aj took off work friday so we could head up to silver dollar city.
we all had a great time.....especially the boys.
they had been looking forward to this for quite a while.
they'd seen commercials on tv and we were blessed to receive season passes for christmas.
they were pumped.
i didn't want to drag around my big camera, what with the stoller, diaper bag, sling, drinks, four kids and all.
but, i was able to capture a few moments with my cell phone....not great, but they'll do. :)
the first day was still rainy and cold.
in fact, it was even colder than we expected so we had to pay $14 to purchase these hideous stocking caps for sawyer and ruby from the gift shop.
oh well, it kept them warm and they were happy.
ruby was such a trooper...although she really does not like being cold.
we kind of had to tag team and take turns to let avery ride big rides and sawyer and fin ride younger kids rides.
finley was sweet and would ride whatever sawyer wanted.
they both really enjoyed those rides.
they were the perfect size for them.
this was avery's first time to ride a roller coaster and he l-o-v-e-d it.
like, couldn't get enough, loved it.
i couldn't watch.
that's way too stressful on this mama to watch her baby flying through the air, held in by a lap bar.
but he was so happy and loving every minute.
the second day was beautiful and warm and made the day even more fun.
i love spending time with our little family all together so this was such a treat.
i think it was recharging for all of us.
ruby did really great and seemed to enjoy being out in the nice weather. :)
one of the boys' favorite parts was grandfather's mansion.
it's this really funny old house with all kinds of crazy rooms and slanted floors....like an old fun house.
they really loved those slanted floors. :)
i am looking forward to making lots of memories at SDC this summer.
{especially if we take the less curvy route and don't have to stop to buy one carsick son a new pair of jeans after he has thrown up his entire breakfast all over himself and the car. yes, that happened. imagine a swagger wagon on the side of the road while two parents clean throw up with a handful of wet wipes. it was awesome.}
altogether, a great time. :)
happy monday, friends!

you just made me homesick! I grew up in Missouri and have the fondest memories of Silver Dollar City! Love it. I just realized we have the same header at the moment. I promise I didn't try to copy.. :)
ReplyDeleteWe were in Silver Dollar City yesterday!!! Our girls had such a good time.
ReplyDeleteWe've done the barf-clean up on the side of a curvy road too...right at the beginning of a 10 hour trip! Ugh, I sympathize with you. Looks like lots of fun. We've been wanting to hit SDC for a while now and would like to go in the fall. I remember going as a child but my kids have never been. I think we would love it!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun and wonderful weekend. Btw, I looked through the pictures before I read your captions, and thought they were very cute.
ReplyDelete"they" meaning Sawyer and Ruby in their stocking hats.
