Almost summer!

Summer is coming....I can almost taste it!!!! The weather is getting warmer, school is 1 week and a day from being out, and we made our first trip to Holiday World! As always, Gwen is entertaining us too. Most days she is demanding attention from everyone, so it is pretty hard to miss her.

Here is one afternoon with Gwen...actually it was about 10 minutes :-)



This morning we finally went to Holiday World. The park opened 2 weeks ago, but with our busy schedules and rain last week, we are just making it there. Gwen tried to contain her excitement this morning that the sun was shining (which meant we could go) and tried to play nicely while I took care of Wyatt. She was totally cool when Brad found her with her water pen and coloring pad completely soaked! Her response to my "Gwen look at your shirt, it is all wet because you used too much water," was "It'll dry, Mom. Don't worry." Brad and I had a very hard time fighting back our laughter!
Someone is a little excited!

First thing on the list...ride the ponies!
Wyatt's first carousel ride!
Next the train!
Wyatt's on the train too!

Wyatt was a little overwhelmed by Gwen's excitement at first, but he loved the hour we were there. We made one more stop after the train to the kiddie park and played. Gwen was having so much fun it was hard to pull her away to go home. A little girl, probably about 4, even commented to Gwen that she looked grumpy. She got over it because we had places to be today...we had a birthday party this afternoon! Luke, a cousin's son, will be 1 on Memorial day so we were having a party! Gwen loved getting to run around and play with all the other little kids and I loved hanging out with the adults. Wyatt loved being passed around and passed out.
