Idlewild Park!

First off, let me apologize for the poor quality of the pictures!! I forgot my camera at home and had to buy a disposable. I was so bummed!! I just didn't want to miss any moments, bad pictures and all!!

For our anniversary, we decided to finally use the tickets we had for a super fun family park called Idlewild. It's a WONDERFUL family park. It was voted #1 Kids Park in the world!! (I think!! Either that or #1 family park!!) Any-who!! It is a great place!

The first pic is taken in a place called Storybook Forest. It has every nursey rhyme you can imagine as a walk through adventure. I don't remember the story behind the pumpkin but it was the boys favorite little house, so we had to take a picture!!



Here is little A trying to pull the sword from the stone!! He tried for a VERY long time and was extremely determined to pull the sword out!! He became a bit frustrated and then turned to M and said, "Your turn!!" I guess he wanted to see if M could do it!

 And here is M trying with all of his might to pull the sword out!! Little A is watching carefully, hoping his big bro can do it!! But M didn't have as much determination as Little A!! He quit in like two seconds and said, "I'm EXHAUSTED!" It was amusing!!

 Here is a pic of my wonderful hubby and the kiddos in front of the teapot house! My hubby is such a good sport!!

 And here I am with the boys throwing money in the well and making wishes!! M told me all of his wishes! I told him that your wishes are like secrets and you keep them to yourself. He then looked at me and shrugged his shoulders and asked, "What did you wish for Mom?" I guess he doesn't mind sharing his wishes!! He's a sweet guy! Little A didn't care about wishes! He just like throwing money in the hole!! Super funny!!

After Storybook Forest we went to the new wave pool they just put in this year. It was a blast!! I would have posted more pics, but it would take forever to scan them in!!

If you ever get the opportunity to visit PA and want a great place to go, check out http://www.idlewild.com/. There is so many wondeful things there! Besides all the rides there is miniature golf, a place called Racoon Lagoon for little kids to ride rides, a huge pool with a bunch of water slides, a place called Mr. Rogers Neighborhood, a circus, an old western looking town where you can sovenior shop and eat good grub and much much more!! It's a blast and I'm glad we got to go!!

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day!!!

Happy 10 Year Anniversary!!!

Tomorrow, my hubby and I are celebrating our 10 year anniversary!! I can't believe it's been 10 years!!
We had a crazy 10 years, as any couple probably does, but it's been amazing!

 I love this guy more than words can describe!! I love that we have eternity! I love that we married in the temple, even though it was hard for me. To not have my mom there with me was incredibly difficult. I am extremely grateful for the sacrifices we made to be sealed in the Washington D.C. temple!!
 I am excited for the next 50 years. To watch our children grow up and make their own lives and their own choices (gasp!!) will be entertaining to say the least!!
 This man is wonderful and I love him more than anything else!! I love his hugs, and his kisses (hehe) and am excited to see what the future beholds for us!!!
Love is a splendid thing and I will be forever grateful to this man for sharing the gospel with me and for sticking by my side when no one else could. I love you Adam!!! Happy 10 years!!!

Our (somewhat) Glorious Bounty!!


FINALLY after months of planning and hard-work and sweat, our gardens are producing!!! YEAH-O!! We have a family garden so this isn't even scratching the surface of what we have!! It's a tremendous blessing to be able to walk outside and have fresh produce to eat anytime you want!! And this is the first time we have grown corn and I have to say, it's DIVINE!!! My hubby is responsible for that!! He's an amazing grower!! I'm a tad bit jealous!!

I haven't been able to personally go to the garden because I tore a ligament in my ankle from climbing on a chair! GO ME!! I am quite clumsy and the older I get the more clumsy I am.

Any-who!! Have a beautiful day! All I can think about is how in about two months, I will have my HALLOWEEN decorations up!! HEHEHE!!

Thanks for stopping by!
