Christmas in July

These are the photos from Santa's Land in Cherokee, NC. It's Christmas in July! The girls loved everything. Curious George loved everything..especially the part where he got to tell Santa that he wanted Lego for Christmas.

Thing 1 is wearing green and Thing 2 is wearing blue.

Hiya, horsey!

This is Thing 2 really enjoying the horsey while I'm on the phone with Daddy. Notice Thing 1 saying "TV!" in the background. She's looking at the camera display as I was taping Thing 2.

This is what happens to Thing 1's face within 2 minutes when she gets to licking her brother's empty yogurt cup. There are little welts within the red spots, but it's not obvious on the picture. Curious George is usually pretty good about putting his milk stuff away from his sisters. He knows that it makes them sick.

On the subject of stomach bugs: It was Daddy's and Thing 1's turn at vomiting last night. We are being careful not to give it to Curious George, if it's even possible. He and I are going to see Dora The Explorer live on Saturday so he can't be sick!

the doll stroller is as much fun as the push car!

Busch Garden

Nana, Papaw, and the cousins spent the weekend with us. On Saturday we went to Busch Garden and on Sunday, we went to Water Country USA.

It was very hot and very humid on Saturday but we did manage to ride a few things. We took Big Bro to a bunch kid places that he was able to ride by himself and enjoyed them all. All three little ducklings didn't nap. I was sure the girls would knot in the stroller being the easy babies that they are, but the heat was just too much. We went to an indoor eating place and they managed to rest. At about 7, the girls finally fell asleep.

Thing 1 and Thing 2 right after arriving.

Thing 2 sweating a whole lot.

I took Thing 1 to ride something to get her out of the stroller. Unfortunately, I didn't get to do the same with Thing 2.

Big Bro enjoying a ride. Thing 1 and I are on the next dragon.

There was a second or two that we lost Big Bro and it was a second too long. We were all hovering around and no one was keeping an eye on him and he ran off. I was terrified that I had Daddy put a luggage tag on his shorts. Funny, I know, especially that it bugged him. I had a talk with him on how to approach a mom should he get lost again, which is actually a talk I should have given him way before getting there. And how come I didn't have any tag on him??? I learned my lesson.

Leg Ride

Daddy found a big tick hitching a ride on his leg. It's a tick with the humongous head.
