Alissa adores her cousins so much and I wish they didn't live 1,000 miles away! Every morning while we were at my Mom's house, she would wake up and say "downstairs see Cael and Cole" (short for Nicole). In fact she is still doing that even though they are at home in Florida! Watching them play together was just so amazing to me! And watching my 8 year old niece be my little helper was so awesome! We spent time hanging out at my Mom's letting the kids play, as well as, taking them on various other adventures!
We spent Monday at my sister's girlfriend's house with her family and lots of kids! Great to have friends for Alissa and for Mommy to have some adult conversation!
Playing with her new friend Carter
The next day we went to Emmaus Community Park to swim and play at the playground. It had been many years since I was swimming at that pool! It is such a great pool, with 2 water slides, a diving board, huge swimming area, and huge kiddie pool, and the playground is awesome too! The pool was a bit dirty, but I think it was mostly because we had some storms the night before. But it brought back so many great memories! If you live in the Emmaus/Allentown area check it out!
The kids were exhausted after a day of swimming and sun, and I was on my own with the 3 of them that night! Honestly, was kind of dreading it because I was tired too and wasn't sure how well everyone would go to sleep for me! But they were sooo good! My sister got to visit with her girlfriends and I got some time with the kiddos! And bedtime was a success, of course with some help from my little helper and awesome story reader!
We all got some shut eye after storytime! (and after I finished The Lucky One by Nicholas Sparks, great book!) We all needed the rest for Wednesday's adventure....Dorney Park and Wildwater Kingdom!
