Summers End

We went to Conneaut Lake Park yesterday for our last big horrah before school begins on Monday. We had fun as a family but the park left something to be desired.

Uneven pavement. Only a few rides. One place to get drinks and eat. No water fountains. Run down buildings. Burnt down buildings. Only a few park employees that had to keep walking back and forth from one game to another or one ride to another.

A nice part of the park

Not so nice part

Despite the heat and lack of park appeal, the kids rode rides. Gary and Dom went off on their own for a bit while the little ones ate corn dogs and fries. Ethan did not like any rides at all. So he sat back and watched while my three rode. He was a side line cheerleader! The kids giggled. Smiled. I even rode a roller coaster, which I have not done in 4 years since my back surgery. It felt like a cheap chiro appointment!

Come on Mom, let me out of this stroller. I want to RUN!

Waving to Mommy

It was interesting to see this park that has been around for 120 years. It looked nothing like what I remember as a child but I am glad my kids got to experience it.

Kid Room Redo

We decided it was time for Logan go move out the nursery and into his brothers room. We took down his crib *sob* and bought the boys bunk beds.

It was not a hard decision. Logan would wake up Charlie and she would wake him up. They needed to be separate.

I still need to finish painting the wood letters for Dom and Logan and hang them. Other than that, it is all pretty much done! I cheated and bought Charlotte stickers for her name but they are adorable!

Sunshine Sunday

Today was a beautiful day in the Burgh. Instead of cleaning and doing laundry like I planned, the kids and I headed outside to play. Big photo dump of our day.
