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.
