Beach Day

So, we were going to visit Adventure Island today, and we don't have the year passes or anything, and since we are moving soon we don't want to buy them. So we got 1/2 coupons from a friend that works at Busch Gardens, put on our swimsuits, and loaded up the van to a day full of waterslide fun.
Well, we were driving in, when we spotted the unbelievable lines. Lance nor I are fans of long lines (particularly with 2 very small children), and especially not spending $70 to stand in them. Needless to say, we quickly whipped the van around and decided to make it a beach day instead.




So, the day was going pretty well, until I was chasing Olivia around and jumped over a small stream in the sand, only to land on an invisible branch sticking up from the ground. It punctured my heel, but didn't break the skin. I expected the pain to subside quickly, but it hasn't. It also looks as though my foot is bleeding deep under my skin. I can't put any weight on my heel at all... I look like a total gimp!
I guess that is the price we pay... we risk life and limb to have fun with our kids!

Mommy having fun w/ the camera

I had the girls dressed up to visit family and I just couldn't resist taking lots of pics. I feel like they grow way to fast and the pictures will bring me back to when they were little someday.

Pool n Picnic Pics

We took the girls to a really fun community pool last week. I got some cute pics.
Here is what Olivia looks like when she says "cheese":










Out of the Mouth of Babes

From Ava:

"Daddy, you make my heart so very happy. I love you."

I was impersonating daddy waking up in the morning by growling like a big bear coming out of hibernation, and Ava says:

"Stop growling mommy, geez, I'm trying to eat my breakfast."

I think we laughed for 5 minutes.
