A few weekends ago we went to visit friends in Danville, PA.  The kids enjoyed playing, the men enjoyed fishing, and the ladies enjoyed relaxing and chatting.  

 I got to have a little fun making girly skirts for Molly's upcoming little girl.  Thank you Pinterest for making me look crafty.

 Playtime at the park!

 The adults playing.  Where are the children?

 Will is our climber.  He climbed up the steps to the play equipment, and then up that tube that you see above the slide!  He loves going to the playground, but I have to be on my toes to chase him.

 Like father like son. Chillaxin'

 Landon and Ruby mesmerized by morning cartoons.  These two enjoyed playing together most of the time.  Their favorite thing to do?  Play "sleep".  Landon had a bed made of camping mats and they would go in there and cover up and giggle and play.  Will could be found diving on top of them too.

We went to Knoebels for our first time.  They get to go all the time because they live 10 minutes away, so they showed us the ropes.  Ruby and Landon rode a lot of the rides together.  Will even got to go on a few.  He wasn't nearly as thrilled by it.

 "Hi, Mom!"

Landon was very excited to go on the biggest roller coaster he'd ever been on.  Last year he went on his first coaster at a fair.  It was your run of the mill tiny coaster.  This one was big and jerky.  When he got off he ran up to me and said, "I laughed, and screamed! It made me nervous. I want to go on another ride!"  

 They are in the last car on the roller coaster.  You can only see John because the little guys had to sit on the inside edge.

It rained off and on all day.  But as we were getting a snack the heavens opened up and the torrents poured down.  I half expected to see Noah's Ark float by at some point.  Luckily for us we were in a large covered area.  We couldn't play on the rides so for a bit John and Landon played in the rain.  They were soaked to the bone.  Landon was loving it.  I had to force him to stop before he crashed, soaked and dripping, into another park goer.

It's hard to see how wet he is because there are no dry spots to compare it to.  But man, he was dripping.

So there we were, staring at the rain come down harder and harder.  We decided we should go home, but we were at the opposite end of the park as our car.  hmmm....and we had three kids, two of which in strollers.  So Kevin and John manned up, stripped off their shirts, and ran like mad through the park.  They had talked to a park employee standing nearby before departing, and they had directed them to where to pull in close to us.  How nice!  It seemed like they were gone for forever.  When they were able to get through the mayhem of the parking lot and get to us the rain had died down and we were able to run to the car without being drowned.  They made it just in time, the kids were restless and the pregnant lady's bladder was about to burst.  phew!  Landon had to be stripped down to ride back and he was less than thrilled.  Even though we didn't get to ride a ton of rides, we still had a great time.  Landon would go back in a heartbeat,and since we still have tickets, I think we'll definitely be back!
