aw...summer!

So we went into the summer thinking it would be VERY laid back, filled with all the fun things we'd been waiting for summer to do.  Then our house went under contract on June 1st and that all flew out the window.  We were able to squeeze some fun things in here and there, but for the most part, we were either hunting for a new house or fixing our old house up to be sold.  Now that we are homeless, we have been officially on vacation and living it up!

It helped that Josie and Priscilla were also at Grammy and Gramps house.  It was a week long sleepover.  We started at the pool.  Si even enjoyed himself.

The next two days were beautiful park days.

 What a handsome little boy!

 Look at this brave guy!  He loved the twisty slide!

 Where's Cilla??? Doing her own thing, of course!

 The tongue's out so you know he's working hard.

We wanted to squeeze in one more Silver Dollar City day before summer was officially over.  Our plan was to wait for a cooler day, which just happened to be this past Saturday.

We woke up early, loaded up and picked up donuts for the road.

 We finally made it to Silver Dollar City and we're EXCITED about it.

 First stop, the All Rides.  Luckily the wait wasn't too bad.  We either got on right away or waited through one round of rides.

 Si and I waiting while Daddy and Amos rode the Big Boy rides.

 If you look closely, you can see my brave boy on the big swings.  He said he wasn't scared at all.

 And we finally rode the train.  Amos thought the cowboy stick-up was pretty hilarious.

 And we finally made it over to the kid's play area for lots of fun!  I'm sure Amos will be asking to go back to the Ball area.  It was a hit for both the boys.

We didn't close the park down, but we were worn out.  Silas fell asleep walking back to the car and then woke up for the rest of the ride home.  Amos luckily got in a bit of a nap, but we were all tired last night.

Not tired enough to skip out on the lake today.  Amos couldn't believe that we were going to the lake too!  I think he fully appreciated the whole week.  After a week of packing, he was ready for a week of fun.

Again, what a handsome boy.  How did he got so BIG.

 Yeah, I'm feel pretty lucky that these two are mine.

 This is one of the the things these two most look forward to down at the lake.  Driving the boat with Gramps!

 Can't wait until Silas smiles on command!  I was holding them both while watching Daddy ride the wakeboard.  Aww!  What a good day.
