Discovery Kingdom

We had a great day at Discovery Kingdom with the Berrett's. I learned that this is an amazing place for kids and I also learned that I am getting old. When I was young, I could run from roller coaster to roller coaster, not a speck of nausea from the thrill, but I could hardly stomach the few rides we went on. I don't like this getting old stuff. And I am not really THAT old either, for heavens sake!! Anyways, it was a good time all around, the kids had a great day, the weather was perfect, and the adults got some big kid ride time in. It was nice to get out and enjoy the day with friends, thank you Laura and Nate!

Addie on the coolest play structure I have ever seen.
Reagan on Dumbo, her current favorite movie to watch.

I like this picture!

The girls riding a train. They don't seem like they are enjoying themselves in this photo, kind of funny, but I know they were.

Laura and Addie on the swings.

Me and Reagan also on the swings. This ride never outgrows you! I enjoy it even as an adult :)

I was very proud of Laura for going on Voodoo. She is much tougher than she gives herself credit for.

The three of us taking the long walk towards Voodoo ;)

First in line!

Gearing up for the ride. This is one of those typical amusement park rides, they have a similar one at Lagoon that sprays water up at you. It is pretty scream-worthy.

We were on the front row!

DK's version of Shamu, Shouka the Killer Whale.

The flippin dolphins.

Matt and Nate on Boomerang, they are in the very last row. They were being towed up at this point.

Right after being towed up, the free fall down.

Going on a loop backwards, again, back row!

Saying hi to some of our Looney friends.

Marvin the Martian made Nolan laugh, just before I took this photo of course.Good times, thanks guys!

Kids Photos

We took this kiddies in today for some professional shots, I finally broke down and did it. It took an hour and a half, which is about an hour too long for their attention span. But I am happy with their individual shots and we will attempt the together ones for another day :)

My favorite Nolan one.

Our favorite Reagan one.

Matt loves this one.

This is where the meltdowns began...

...and continued, but I do love that she is "shushing" him. ;)

Just another one

Big Girl Bed!

Imagine the delight of this little "almost 3" year old when she got home and saw what dad had done to her bed!

No more crib (sort of).

Park, Fish Tacos, and FroYo

I have been scolded for my last post. Matt wanted me to clarify that we have been doing some fun stuff around here and getting out and about. We purchased season passes to Waterworld and are looking forward to a summer of water and sun. We went a few weekends ago and Reagan -and us-loved it. Matt and I have been playing volleyball on Thursday mornings. So I guess we get out.

Saturday we went to the park where Nolan took his first slide down the slide. This little boy in red had a shirt on that said New Zealand and followed Reagan around a little while. She wasn't happy about it.

He had his first swing in the swings. It was a hit!...until he started to slump over :) Reagan loved pushing him.

Reagan asked dad to "push her real high!"

He obliged.

We had Rubio's fish tacos for dinner, then saw this new self-serve yogurt place next door called Yogurtland. It is nonfat, light, airy yogurt (Matt wasn't impressed), but I loved it for the fact that it doesn't sit like rocks in your stomach. At 30 cents an ounce, plus unlimited, free toppings and fresh fruit, you really can't beat that. Mine below was $3.50.
