Here comes the rain...

On Sunday my mom and I loaded the boys into the car, met up with Jodi, Brenton and Camrynn and headed up to New Hampshire for a few days. Our mission the first day was to get the kids to Santa's Village, a theme park dedicated to everything Christmas. It took us 4 and 1/2 hours to get there...the drive was beautiful all the way there and then, we pulled into the parking lot and the heavens opened and the rain came down...hard. We had a decision to make: stay and make the best of it, or leave and drive another hour to the house we rented. We chose to stay...we WERE going to have a good time regardless of the weather! The kids had fun riding on the carousel, meeting Santa and eating really good pizza (probably the best food I've every had at an amusement park)...


As we were unloading the kids, the rain came down....this was us seeking shelter under the back of my mom's car...notice my mom is not in the picture...she refused to get out and was sitting in the front seat...thanks alot mom!



We all bought ponchos to keep us dry...we looked so cool...



Micah had no idea what was going on...why were we torturing him? The poor kid was soaking wet!



Yeah, this is tons of fun!



Jodi and I trying to make the best of it!

The next day we decided to try Story Land. It's a great amusement park for the kids...when it's not thundering and lightning... We did our best to have fun, but the weather was horrible...



The carousel was a highlight for my boys...they love horsies!




This is them posing in Cinderella's pumpkin coach.


And this was the house we all rented...it was very cute!


Our final day there we were just going to head home in the morning, but when we woke up the sun was out!...go figure... So, we decided to give Story Land one more try. We had a great day!


Brenton insisted we go on the raft ride...I guess we didn't get wet enough the first two days...



Since we were already soaking wet we decided to try the flume...



Sam learned his first bad word on this ride. I nearly fell out of the boat, and accidentally said a swear...oops...he repeats everything!


He loves every kind of horsie, real or fake...he must have sat on this one for a half and hour...


"ARRRRR"...my little pirate!
Yes, I do have two sons!...Micah finally got some freedom...he didn't really care about the rides...he just wanted to be free!
