Honestly not ready to go back. This was a great summer for me and going back was a smack in the face.
But it was fun coming home to a baby
The girls had a day out to get their hair colored which was supposed to be about an hour and turned into 4 1/2 and was still a bit disastrous
Ellie with a zucchini as big as she is
She likes my TV area too
It was an overcast day so there werent many people there.
I got to hold Ellie while everyone tried out the water slides
We had a nice cabana area
Of course we had to have the funnel cake and ellie liked the powdered sugar
Then we were told we had to get out of the water because of the storm coming. What storm?
So we left while it poured and went out for dinner (create our own pizza…we tried BBQ macaroni and cheese pizza!)
When we came back, amazingly the park was still open but it was almost completely all empty. Ellie slet and everyone else basically had the park to themselves for 90 minutes. Perfect day!
