Daddy is Home!

Todd had not taken a day of vacation since Brynn was born! Finally, he took Tuesday off so he could have a four day weekend. Of course on Tuesday, when everyone was back at work he was on his phone constantly checking his email but it was wonderful to have him around for a few days. We were planning on taking a mini-vacation but plans fell through so we stayed home. It ended up being nicer, I think. There was plenty of relaxing, nap taking, working in the yard, and just hanging out. Here are some of the fun things we did.

Each day they love each other more and more!
Amy and Milo came over for dinner on Sunday and we made chocolate dipped pretzels. They were a hit! Addy loved putting the sprinkles on!

We went swimming a couple of times at the Legacy Center. They even had the wall up over the weekend so it was both an inside and outside pool. Summer is here! Brynn loved swimming and would kick and kick her little legs.
Addy has no fear of the big slide!
We also went to LIberty Land Fun Park. We were kind of skeptical but it was a BLAST!

Mom and Addy on the "big ship"
The love never ends.
Todd took Addy on a "real" roller coaster. Scared me half to death!

You can't even see Addy because Todd put her in a headlock so she wouldn't fall out!
We thought his ride just smoothly went up to the top and down. Much to our pleasant surprise it jumps. Hence the name 'Frog Hopper'. It was hilarious to watch. I was literally crying I was laughing so hard. Maybe you had to be there but it was funny.
We also went on the bumper boats that evening. It had been a nice day but by that evening it had cooled down and the wind had picked up. I KNEW I should never enter water fully clothed, hair done on a cool evening with my husband! He had Addy in his boat with him and I had Brynn in my boat. I thought having Brynn would soften the water sprays...BUT NO! We all left the boats pretty wet! The girls loved it and we all had a great time.
We can't wait until Dad has another day off. At least it won't be another 11 months until the next day off since we're going on vacation in July :)
