A Day in the Wild West

We spent much of the day in Blowing Rock, NC at Tweetsie Railroad--LOVED it! It's so fun now that our kids are big enough to go on the rides by themselves... Disney, here we come! OK, maybe not quite yet. But I can't wait.

So it's incredibly challenging to get decent pictures of children on moving objects. You get the idea though.

Colin almost lost his breakfast on this one. Will thought it was great.

I'm still amazed one of our kids didn't try to jump off a ride.

Oh yes--Thomas rode on his own a few times. He was adorable, if I might say so myself.

Again, I was so nervous we were going to lose a child on a ride. They can be squirmy little creatures. I'm pleased to report we made it out without incident.

My hot date on the ferris wheel...

And after this fun-filled day, we make it home, play, eat, get the kids to bed, and soon after hear our potty-trained (though diapered at night) eldest state, "mommy--I've poopooed." No big deal, right? Except for the fact that he'd tried to change his own diaper. You can imagine how that played out.

Tomorrow will likely be mellower around here. Happy July 4th, everyone!
