Dutch Wonderland!

Our first week of summer started with a bang at the allergist, YIPPEE!  The kids had blood work done a couple weeks ago and this was just a follow up appointment and to find out about their peanut allergies.  BOTH have gotten worse.  I just hate it for them.  Obviously nothing changes for how we do "things," but it just sucks for them.  In perspective, it's okay,  but just so scary.  In a way I'm so thankful it's common because atleast there is awareness, but in the other sense it is just plain scary!

After that excitement on Tuesday we went to Dutch Wonderland!!  We just love going and it was Keith's first time going with us.  We had a great day and it started out BEAUTIFUL.  Reagan and Landon got out of school a little earlier than most schools I guess because it was EMPTY when we were there.  We didn't wait in one line, which was awesome!

Traditional first train ride!

Katey and Sydney came with us too and Reagan was so excited...she had to take a selfie!

Maddie was PUMPED to be at DW...ha!  We had to stop at Target to get her some diapers and a hat because I kind of forgot those minor details that morning when we left.  Keith went in and came out with an outfit and hat.  Didn't match her at all, but whatever.  She also had JUST spit up all over herself as we were about to get on the train!

Mum-Mum and Pop-Pop and the grands!




Water flume!  Gets us excited for Disney this fall...Splash Mountain was closed last time we went!

On a roller coaster with my sweet boy

Reagan was tall enough to ride one of the coasters by HERSELF...she thought that was about the coolest!

At the dive show, which we LOVE.  They sat in the front row, which you have a high risk of getting soaked...well they did...SOAKED!!!  I was sitting 5 rows back and so did I...I have to say it felt good though!

We picnicked in the parking lot this year, which worked out great.

Somebody got a little sleepy :)  Precious baby!





Right about now is when it started POURING.  I mean the sky was getting so dark...it was crazy!  SOOO it was a bummer that it started to rain, BUT the good news is we got free tickets to come back another day.  It was after 2 at this point, so we had had 4 hours of fun and now get to look forward to going again!

These kiddos were getting their face painted under a canopy when it started POURING.  Maddie and I were headed to the gift shop/exit area.  I wound up running to the car and getting SOAKED to get umbrellas to go get Keith and the kids from face painting.  Always an adventure!

Maddie wasn't bothered by the rain

I'd say it was a successful trip!  Everyone snoozed the whole way home.





Such a fun day at DW!

And this kid...went with his face fully painted still, to Walmart the next day to get this Megazord.  He saved his dollars and made the purchase!
