Flashback Friday: Chesapeake Beach Water Park

Slathered with Sunscreen and ready to play
After being stuck in this polar vortex for the last two weeks- I am taking this Flashback Friday to a time when it was much warmer!!  We are heading to Chesapeake Beach Water Park.  It was such a beautiful day- so I'm bring back some sunshine and warmth!  Now just counting down the days until Summer is here again!

At the end of summer, I went with Jonathan's Day Care provider, Carol, and helped take the kiddos on a field trip to Chesapeake Beach Water Park.  The water park was about an hour away from here and we were able to get discounted coupons from CertifiKid (like a Groupon for Family/Kid friendly activities).

We were blessed with a beautiful day and the kids had a fabulous time.  We rented a cabana- which was well worth the money- since it was a great area to rest, snack, and get out of the sun for a bit.  The best thing about this water park was that it was very "little" kid friendly!  They had a special kids-only area, that had fun climbing areas and little slides.

Another thing I liked about the water park is that they allowed me to go down the medium size slides with Jonathan- since he was a little scared.  He wasn't a huge fan of the water going in his face when we went down- so he rode on my lap backwards.  I think I was having a little more fun then him on these slides! :)



Overall we had an awesome time. I think we will definitely try to go more then once this summer once it gets a big warmer.  How many days until summer? :)

Welcome to 2015!





Gosh I can't believe that it is already the start of a new year!  I don't even know what happened to the end of the last year!  It all just seems to go by so quickly!  I started off blogging pretty good too... but then time just got away from me!  I've been busy traveling, crafting, working, and chasing around two boys!  We had a fabulous Christmas.  We traveled up to Ohio to be with Mimi and Pop, my brothers and sisters, and the newest cousins!  Of course the day we were suppose to leave both boys came down with the stomach flu!  UGH!  Just keeping fingers crossed that Joe and I don't get it!

We've been doing a lot in the last few years and I've been working on some crafts that I can't wait to post!  So here is to the new year-- and hopefully better bloggings!!

I'm going to leave you with some pictures of the boys-- I may be a little biased, but I really do think they are the most handsome little guys ever!





A mom of two of the kids at Jonathan's and Zachary's daycare took these family pictures for us.  She did a wonderful job.  I just can't get enough of those blue eyes!!
