Dutch Wonderland 2011

This summer we met up with the Greene Family at Dutch Wonderland for some fun! Sonya was so happy to see Simon again! She thinks he lives right around the corner and that we can just see him whenever she wants! Sorry kiddo, I wish!

Down the giant slide!

Ian and Zoe go for a ride up and around!

Simon enjoys an airplane ride!

Love birds!

First attempt of a group photo!

The Frog Prince show is so cute! The kids clapped and giggled, loving every bit!

Feeding the ducks... eww what's that?! Yep, moving on...

Our sweethearts! They truly are! Sonya recently got a card from Simon in the mail and she refused to let me read it to her, saying "It's a secret!" then she took it to bed with her! Finally she gave in the next day and let me read it to her! I love how Simon has his protective arm around her! So sweet!

Driving the dozers!

It rained on more than one occasion during our day at DW. The first storm lasted only 5 minutes or so but it was a drencher! Akela was on the panda bears ride when the skies opened up. She is now terrified of the rain. That's right, never mind the thunder and lightening, just rain alone now scares the daylights out of her! Ugh... Poor kid!

Sonya says I have Doritos, so I don't really care about the rain!

We had a reprieve from the rain for a bit so we scrambled to ride as much as we could while we could! Here are my thrill seekers Zoe and Ian!

Sonya thought this candy cane was falling over... she had to set it straight!

Under the tent we waited for the Thomas the Train show, but it was rained out! Bummer! Sonya is in a silly face stage... every chance she gets...

The obligatory pretzel shot!

Such cuteness!!!

After we said our goodbyes to the Greene Family we pressed our luck a little more and jumped on a few more rides!

Ian is enjoying himself a little too much on the kiddie coaster!

Just kidding, he's just making it that much more memorable for Zoe!

Swings!!!

And that was it... the skies opened up once again and we bolted to the exit scoring some rain tickets on the way out! Wasn't expecting that, especially when we are crazy enough to ride in the rain and tough it out all day long! We had an awesome time and can't wait for our next get together with the Greenes!
