Our day at BAY BEACH!

Last Friday we had a GREAT day! Ryan and his dad and brother had a golfing trip planned for all day Friday and Saturday...so us girls decided to take a 2 hour trip up to Green Bay to go to Bay Beach Amusement Park. (It's this awesome amusement park for little kids!) The girls LOVED it!!!!! And we had fun too! Have I told you how awesome of a mother in law and sister in law I have? They WANTED to spend their DAY OFF with me and my 3 little munchkins at a little KIDS amusement park. Not many people would want to do that....on top of driving two hours to get there. I am so so blessed to have them and our GIRLS are so blessed to call them "Grandma" and "Auntie!!!" (and sometimes "Jode" ) :)

So, this was their first big ride ever. I was a little nervous to just leave them on this thing all by themselves. I wasn't sure if they'd cry for me or if it would freak them out or what....but they were SOOOO excited and the first time they went around, they were all smiles and gave out huge "Miss America" type waves - EVERY SINGLE time they went around. It was like they had never seen us before. We were cracking up. Are they really getting THIS BIG ALREADY???!!!!

Loving the Helicopters...

And ya gotta get Sno-Cones at an amusement park, right? This park is also awesome cuz each ride is only $.25! With no admission fee! And the sno-cones were only $1!!! Usually, they're like $3.50! Great place I tell ya!

Addy, Hailey, and Emily

Notice the color sno-cones they picked. :) I'd like to claim that when I 'assigned' them each a color as a baby so we could tell them apart, that I secretly KNEW what their favorite color would be. :) Before they were born, I had Hailey as green and Emily as pink. But when I saw them in the NICU, I was like "Hailey is so not a "green" and Emily is definitely not "pink." So I switched them. :) And now, they truly love "their" colors!!! Addy is still purple for everything. Hailey - pink as pink can be...and Em it totally green.

K - I apologize in advance for this next one Jody. :) We look lovely.... :) But it's not about how we look...more about how much fun we had, right? Right. :)

The huge slide that was so fun! You sit on these potato sack things....this was another favorite ride.
Mom D. and Jody took a turn on the big people swings. :) They were scared out of their minds. :)

But looks like they had a good time! :)

Emily - race car ride

Cruisin' on the ladybugs.... (again - notice their color choices) So crazy to me. :)
The Merry Go Round - Addy, Em, Hailey

I wasn't sure how they'd do on this by themselves too but they went for it!! SO fun that they love this stuff!

and here they are at home with our good neighbor friends. The girls LOVE painting outside. I give them a paintbrush and some water. Then they color with chalk...and then "paint" it off with the water. They will do this for hours. It is a GREAT toy!
