VACATION. YAY!!!




Yep you saw right. MORE baseball. We decided since we didn't make it very far in the tournament that we would take a day and ride to Richmond to go to Kings Dominion. David has an Aunt that lives about 10 minutes from there and she was staying down here with his Grandma for a couple of days so we took her up on her offer to crash at her house. Thankfully she had an in ground pool, a yard big enough to play baseball, and 2 granddaughters that came over and kept us company. So we stayed an extra day just to hang out. All the kids had a great time. This was the first time I allowed the older boys to separate from us in the park and it worked out perfect. I can't say enough how perfect Kings Dominion was for us. We had not been there in like 6 years so ,most everything was new. They had a water park that was included in the cost of admission (which we got at discount thru SECU). We spent the first 2 hours just strolling around together and looking the attractions over. Then we went to the water park for 3 hours. This kept us in the water park for the majority of the "HOT" of the day. They had the best section for little kids & it was right next to the fun house section for Matthews age. We were able to watch the 3 little ones with little ease. The older ones of course took off and went for the big rides. After lunch (which we ate at the park OUCH!!) we split up again to let the 4 older boys go for the ride. David & I spent most of the rest of the day in Kiddy Land which was shaded. THANK GOD!! We met up later and picked Matt up because there were a few rides he couldn't ride, but he didn't mind hanging out with us. So all in all it was a GREAT day. The next day we had a picnic in the park, went swimming, and played baseball. What a great way to end a vacation.
