One of a Kind

Dani is such a fun loving, crazy little thing.  So much personality!  Here are some of my favorite moments from  the last couple days:

Her newest pastime is to set up the ipad on camera mode so she can see herself and talk to herself while she plays.  Sometimes she takes a video of it.  Not sure if this is a cry for more playdates or she just really loves the look of her cute face.

Chip spent two night at the hospital this week when we got home from vacation (not working) with some chest pains.  Thankfully, he is 100% healthy and fine and everything checked out perfectly.  Not to mention that he got a bouquet of lollipops from his co-workers!!  Dani was pretty happy to visit daddy in the hospital.

And even happier when he came home with the lollipops!  This girl wore her Princess Peach crown, Minnie Mouse backpack and carried a lollipop with her all day -- all over town.  She is just TOO cute!

I couldn't get enough!

Summer Week 7

I can't believe it is already the 7th week of summer -- with only 4 more to go.  I am LOVING the free, fun, pool time with my babies.  I don't want school to start!!  Too bad we're all so stubborn and home school is not an option. :)

This was another short week since we got back from Puerto Rico on Wednesday.  On Thursday we did laundry, went to the store and kind of relaxed and recuperated.   Friday we went to Mamgu's house to go swimming with Carys, Abby and Matthew.

The girls were so happy to see their friends -- and a pool.  It had been two whole days without water! ;)

These two love each other so much.

Too much fun in the sun!

On Saturday Abby and Dani spend the day and night at their grandparent's house while Rhiannon, Carys, Matthew, Patti, Emily, Lily and I went to Six Flags!!  We got there in the afternoon and hit some rides.

Lily was nervous.  She is not a fan of roller coasters like the other kids.  She sat out a few rides, but somehow I talked her into trying "Judge Roy Scream" which is essentially Colossus (for you CA peeps) -- the big, white wooden roller coaster.  She sat with Matthew and Rhiannon and I sat behind them.  It was a little faster and jerkier than I remember and poor Lily hated EVERY second of it.  But I am SO proud of her for trying!!  She was a little gun shy after that, but we got her back on some rides and having fun again.

Next up we had dinner and headed over to the amphitheater area for the main reason we were there -- The Debby Ryan and the Never Ending concert!  She is the star of the Disney Channel show "Jessie" which the kids all love.  She was performing her first concert with her rock band and while we didn't really know any of her original songs, it was still a good show and fun to see her in person!

Tanner Patrick was the opening act.  I've never heard of him -- but took pictures in case he is famous someday.

Debby Ryan and her band, The Never Ending

After the show we had about an hour before the park closed to go on some more rides.

We played one game to get a cape -- we all wanted capes!!  They are like the mouse ears of Six Flags.

Super Moms!!

Last Day

My sweet girls always have fun sharing a room in the hotels.  I caught them one night giving hugs before bed.  I love them!

As usual we headed to breakfast (although today we didn't get to sleep in today).

Then Chip and the girls headed back to the room.  I stopped at the front desk to see what we needed to do to check out.  On the way back to the room, I took a couple minutes to enjoy the view one last time.

At the airport Dani ate a pizza and was very happy about it.

 She is so good on the plane. 

 Lily watched the Lego movie, read some books and then passed out.

It was an amazing vacation -- I can't wait for our next one!
