Summer day getaway

We decided a few weeks ago to go on a summer day getaway. We took advantage of our Dollywood season passes we purchased last year and took off for a day at the park. The Hot day was cooled off by all the very cool new water themed rides they opened up this year. The boys didn't seem to mind that the majority of the day they ran around in very wet and sticky clothes. We ate delicious kettle popcorn that left me craving it everyday since then. I am so glad we went that day. Samuel was over his cold and Vienna was showing much improvement with her foot. I needed a day away from cleaning and Laundry. We left early that morning to ensure a great parking spot but we were sadly disappointed. The mile walk to the park was long and Samuel wanted to sit in the stroller with Vienna because his feet hurt. Ethan never complained. We had to practically run to catch up to his hopping all the way to the park entrance. Once we entered the park the long walk was forgotten and excitement filled their little bodies. Ethan happily rode every ride that he possibly could despite his height restrictions and Samuel (with no restrictions) vouched for the calmer less jolting thrills. Sam was a real trooper riding in the piggy to comfort his baby girl. She had just finished riding the bumble bee and was a little unsure of the piggy. She refused to ride unless her daddy was right next to her. I stood with a big smile on my face as the ride attendant made sure Sam was strapped in. As if he was going to fly out of a ride that we practically had to pry him out of. I mostly took pictures and strolled Vienna along in the stroller. I made sure not to miss any of the refreshing water mist stops. I have less than 65 days to go till baby and it seems each day it just gets hotter and hotter. I think i will have to get a bigger kiddy pool for the backyard so i can submerge everyday.

My first big boo-boo



Vienna had her first trip to the hospital for her first big boo-boo. She is at a very fearless age and keeping up with her is a full time job. She runs around the island in our house and there is nothing she thinks to impossible for her to climb. On this horrible day she had a run in with our dining room chair and her little foot was hit as the chair toppled over. She cried and I cried. I wanted so desperately to take on the pain she was feeling. She held her little foot and kept saying mommy - mommy. The nurses at the hospital were very sweet and Vienna was amazed at everything going on around her. We cuddled on the bed in the ER and watched spongebob on the TV. I brought her dollies and she showed them to the nurses and took great care in singing them to sleep just like i do to her. The doctor told us she had a little fracture that would heal very quickly.



It's now been a couple weeks and she is doing great. She started walking 10 days later and just in the last few days she is running without hesitation. I love seeing her back to her little active self. Vienna loves to color. She could be crabby and really tired but if you give her a crayon and a sheet of paper she forgets all her troubles.
