Daddy's on Vacation!!!! July 14-20

Daddy took a week off to spend with us. I guess he couldn't stand it any longer.....The boys enjoyed the time with Ed and so did I. For those of you who thought we would be staying home this Summer......you were wrong! The week started off with Ed taking Colby & Nickolas to one of Ed's dads rental homes to help him. It was a great day for Adam and I too. We were able to get a lot of things done! Amazing what you can do with one kid :) Tuesday we were off to Vallejo to Six Flags. We hadn't been there since Nickolas was Adam's age. The boys rode an Elephant and Colby rode Tony Hawks Big Spin twice. He now has a small obsession with Tony Hawk. Nickolas loved the Island of Sodor. Thomas is huge with him. He had a great time riding Thomas, Bertie the Bust (my favorite) and Harold the Helicopter. Nick will always have an obsession with moving vehicles. I am sure of it. Adam was enjoying the sites from the Snugli. He is such a people watcher. Guaranteed that someone will talk to him....he gets excited and starts squealing. Colby may be a villain as he did hug the Joker. Nickolas on the other hand is Batman through and through. Wednesday was spent hanging out at the house as we didn't get home till midnight. Did I mention that we shut down Six Flags? Thursday we were headed to Great America to enjoy the Water Park. The kids had a great time. Adam was getting his beauty rest while the boys played. Ed and Colby enjoyed the water slides. Nick and I had a lot of fun on the Lazy River. A great day!! Friday we went to Chuck E Cheese and the boys FINALLY had enough tickets for the much anticipated Cotton Candy. Wow where did the week go??? Saturday was another work day at the rentals but daddy brought Sushi home so we were all happy:) Sunday A trip to Bonfante Gardens. We saw a great Bird Show, hung around for a bit and two little boys were starting to melt so we called it a day. Thanks Dad for a great week!
