4th & 5th of July!

We headed off to Dorney Park for the 5th of July. I know, tsk tsk for swimming on a Sunday. Not many options, though, when you work every single day of the week except Sunday! It's like Lagoon, except bigger!!! The girls weren't too sure about the water. We took them into the tidal wave pool (only to the 6 inch mark) and sat in the water with them. Alexis wasn't too sure about it at first, but then she warmed up to it. Taylor would not warm up to it. We decided to sit at the very beginning of the pool, where the water was only a couple inches deep. She still didn't like it. My guess is it reminded her too much of the beach with the waves coming at her. Thayne took her and sat across from Alexis and I. Once Taylor couldn't see the waves coming at her and she could see Alexis splashing, she decided it was okay and splashed her little face off!Just having a little lunch! Yum yum! (Lexi left & Tay right)Lots of slides!
This is the tidal wave pool that we mentioned earlier.

Thayne headed off for work early the 4th. It was a tough day for him. He found that a lot of people weren't very friendly. Understandable since it was a holiday and everybody just wanted to relax. Back at home, I took the girls to the Cheesecake Factory for lunch to celebrate Krista's birthday! I enjoyed a small salad (that wasn't all that small) and the girls enjoyed banana slices and puffs! Later that night, we had a potluck with 3 other couples, one of which has a one and a half year old who's super cute! Thayne and Ryan lit off a flower and threw it off the 7th floor balcony. They were hoping it would float in the air, but it didn't :( Since the girls were tired, we headed back down to our apt and put them down for the night. I wanted to see some fireflies just flying out in nature so I walked out into our backyard. Thayne brought out a jar and we caught one! Here is a picture of it!

Sorry! We did not take any other pictures on the 4th. We did not do anything cool so we didn't see any reason to take any.
