Mini-Vacation Part 2


After visiting with Grandparents, we went to Old Forge to spend a night. We arrived early, so we hung out around the water and had a picnic, while waiting to check into our motel. The kids were happy to be out of the van!











Not really sure what the fascination with playing under the motel beds was... :)











To the Enchanted Forest we went!





We started walking away and Sam ran back to the "Crooked Man's" house, when I got to him he was trying to take a bite out of the huge hamburger. :)











Not quite how I'd planned this picture, but we'll take it!










Prince and princess off to the ball!





On our way to visit Hansel and Gretel. Elsie found this cherry pie to be irresistable.











Elsie pretending to get baked in the oven... Yikes!





Elsie and her Daddy on the ferris wheel.




This picture was right as Samuel tried some goat food... and right before we rinsed his mouth out!










A little blurry...Ok A LOT blurry... But here's the kids and Daddy on the sky ride.




Poor timing (with all the other people), but here's the tradition Paul Bunyan shot. :)




Cuddles on the train.




It rained most of the second day we were there, but we did manage to get on some wet rides before it started and got too cold.








Look out, Sam's driving!




We even found a DEC helicopter to ride. ;)




Jacob was very happy to partake. :)








She chose pink, who would have thought...




We have a couple of daredevils here! They LOVED the fast rides.








Tired wet people.... Time to go home! After two nights away from home, they cheered when I said it was time to go!!



But not before making a couple wishes in the fountain...




Five minutes into the car ride home...

Part One Of Our "Mini-Vacation"


We recently went on a little road trip, and the first stop was my Grandma and Grandpa H.'s for an overnight visit. We spend the following night in Old Forge, and of course took the kids to the Enchanted Forest. Matt had told the kids that when he was a kid and went to Old Forge, his family would stop along the way and eat their breakfast, of donuts and cereal out of those single serving boxes. Of sourse Elsie thought this was the COOLEST thing, so we just had to try it. Here we are at a rest stop off the interstate having... breakfast. :)




They thought it was pretty neat, and even got to have some junky sugared cereal lol, as a treat. :)










"Where's mine?"








We had a nice visit with Grandma and Grandpa H. Here's Sam enjoying a ride with Grandpa, and Elsie being towed behind the tractor by Daddy. :)




Do you think she's enjoying herself??




Grandma, are you missing any shoes?










Saying goodbye until next time, after a very nice visit that went by way too quickly!
It was very nice seeing you too, C. Family!
