Some of July

I hate carrying around the big camera so here are some iphone pictures.

We visited Burke Lake Park. Dave has been training for the RAGNAR race and is wanted to go run around Burke Lake. He had told the kids all about the lake how they could go play while he ran around the lake. It turned out to storm that day so I took them back another day. It is always so crowded there. Even when it is near 100 degrees.

Claire rode the merry go round for the first time by herself. She was terrified until she realized that her animal didn't move.

We also rode the little train around. Ben was terrified of it. I don't know what his problem was. We have been on this train before. He was worse than Claire. Siena insisted that we sit in front and I think it was too loud for Claire. She hated the whistle. I felt bad I had 2 screaming kids and we were siting in the front of the train so everyone could see my screamin kids.

 We visited Pirates Cove. We love the waterpark. One day we couldn't convince any friends to come with us but the two older kids entertained themselves so nicely. It was a perfect day. They played nicely together for hours and Claire napped in her stroller. I finally got to sit by the pool and relax! so nice.
Then we went back the next two days with friends. I love being at the pool. Siena is finally really confident in the pool. Ben is doing great too and will go under water now.

 This past weekend we went up to Hershey. Cousin Brendan was baptized. It is always fun to be with cousins. We didn't get any pictures of the baptism and cousins but we got plenty of crazy pictures of the kids on Grandmas swing. It was a great baptism and then we had family time. We shopped at the outlet mall for school clothes and Dave clothes. No trip to Hershey would be complete without chocolate world. We go there everytime we are up in Hershey. It was a fun weekend.
