Dutch Wonderland Fun!

We went to Dutch Wonderland for their Winter Wonderland event.  Everyone had a great time.  It wasn't crowded, which isn't surprising since it was pretty cold.  We bundled up though and the kids got to hop on the rides multiple times with no wait.

 

 

Roar to the Shore - Spring

We went down the shore for the weekend so James and Joseph could check out the spring bike weekend.  The kids got to have a fun weekend with Nonna & Pop.  I got to spend some time taking pictures.  Everyone was happy.

Disney on Ice

Nonna gave the girls tickets to Disney on Ice for Christmas. We had great seats and they were so excited to be there. I don't think Juli took her eyes off of the show for a second. Livi started getting antsy close to the end, but she did better than I thought she would. They both can't wait to go back and see another show!











Thank you Nonna!

Giggleberry Fair

We headed up to Penns Purchase Outlets / Peddlers Village today. On a whim we decided to go into Giggleberry Fair. Juli was beside herself with glee when we walked in. She started yelling, "It's like a carnival, Mommy! It's like a carnival inside!!" So we grabbed some lunch and had some fun.

Here is Juli on giant game board. She was playing a music game at the time, but it also did dodge ball and other cool stuff.

Livi thought it was pretty cool too!

They have a fishing area with magnetic fishing poles and little fish and boats. Just as I was about to take Juli's picture her stool slipped out from under her and she fell in. I didn't realize I caught the picture until we got home later! Don't worry it was only a few inches deep.

Let's try that again.

Baaaa!

Livi driving the farm truck.

Playing air hockey. I think Juli liked this game the best.

Next time, little one.

A mini-merry go round.

Wheee?

Holiday Light Show

We went to the Holiday Light Show at Shady Brook Farm with Nonna, Pop and Aunt Karen. The girls loved it. They had a big light display outside the market that "danced" to the beat of the music they were playing. Livi loved that and kept signing for more.

Outside at the musical light show.

Inside they had Santa's North Pole Village. The village seemed to leave a lot to be desired, but we were there after Christmas, so maybe it just fell to the wayside after Christmas and needed some attention.

Some parts were ok. Here's Juli with Frosty. Livi was afraid of most of the characters inside.


Here's Juli in the village with a little snow creature. They had a machine that made snow in there.

After the village, we all hopped in the car and rode through the light show. Most of my pictures came out crappy since it was foggy, I couldn't use a flash and the car was moving. Here's what I could salvage:

Peddler's Village

We decided to take a ride up to Peddler's Village today. There was a Gingerbread House exhibit up there. When we got there, there was a long line to get into a tiny building to see the Gingerbread Houses. We decided to skip it (the pictures of the houses are online anyway) and do some shopping instead.

Taking a little walk around Peddler's Village. It was a very foggy drizzly day so I didn't get many pictures.

We stopped for lunch at the Peddler's Pub. It was a nice cozy little place with good sandwiches.

We stopped to look at the fish in the pond for a while. Juli liked them because they are a red-orange color. She's been into "red-orange" lately.

Over the River and Through the Woods

To Grandmother's house we go...

This weekend the girls went up the mountains with Nonna, Pop, Mom Mom and Aunt Karen. Looks like they had a great time! Juli couldn't stop talking about the waterfalls, the cave and the train ride!

Random mountain pictures, for your enjoyment:

This picture cracked me up!
