Wordless Wednesday-Part 2 Rides

Posted on May 7, 2015 by Sheila

Last ride of the day….otherwise known as the kidney buster. It was so jerky and rough!

Dark picture but this is the kid roller coaster that has been in the park for years. I remember it as the Scooby Doo but Zach LOVED it! Everyone rode at least twice!

The “Big” roller coaster that Matt, Lily and Kendall rode. Zach was not tall enough.

Proof of the ride!

The first ride Zach got to pick. He stumbled and scrapped his knee running to get off of this ride.

Lily and Kendall are swinging. I was planning to ride with Zach but he decided against it to my relief.

This was the final competition of this season. I am so proud of both girls. Lily’s youth team was second out of five and won special recognition for best tumbling of the day!

Saving on Saturday- Car Wash

Posted on May 3, 2015 by Sheila

I came up with a new idea to help me be a little bit more creative and save money each week. I am calling it Saving on Saturday. The goal will be for me to post one way we save money during the previous week. I would love some idea so feel free to join me!

This week we ended up saving money and have some fun at the same time. It feels like we have been living in a car for the past several weeks and both vans are starting to look like we do as well. So washing our own cars is the first way we are saving money. A low end cleaning run around $25 and even the automatic wash is $12 so I am going to estimate by doing all the work at home we save at least $24 and the memories will be priceless!

Wordless Wednesday- Zach at Beach

Posted on April 29, 2015 by Sheila

This was one of the highlights of our recent trip to the beach. Since each of the girls got to pick out either a hair bow or doll outfit, Zach got to ride this “Jumping Spider” I was honestly really surprised how well he did and how much he liked it!

Waiting in line…for over half an hour!

Water Fun!

Posted on April 18, 2015 by Sheila

One of the reason that we chose to stay at this particular hotel is because of the cool water areas that it has. These include several both indoor and outdoor hot tubes, a really cool water slide, several pools that range from 1.5 to 2 ft of water with buckets and sprinklers galore, a lazy river and of course several regular pools. Zach has even decided that he likes playing in the water. Check out the fun the kids have been having…..

5 Things Friday

Posted on April 17, 2015 by Sheila

We are enjoying our mini vacation so far, one of the favorite things about this trip is that we are eating out most meals. Zach actually at all his breakfast this morning at IHOP.2. Amanda decided at the last minute to join us for this trip and everyone is really enjoying having some quality time to spend with her. The funniest part is that they are “taking turns to sit beside her” but no one wants to sleep with her because she snores! 3. We had planned to play Putt Putt today but the weather has not cooperated at all so instead we surprised the kids with a trip to Ripley’s Aquarium. They LOVED it..I am going to plan an entire “Wordless Wednesday” post with some of the awesome pictures that Matt took.4. The water slide that is part of the outside pool at our hotel was open today and all three of the little kids were so excited to go down it. Unfortunately Zach ended up with a battle scar from it. I was so proud that he did go down a second time after hitting his head the first time. 5. We have not even been down on the beach because of the weather but I did at least get a picture from the pool.
