Now that school is about to start, I am remembering the summer months.  Remembering Summer?  It is supposed to be over 100 degrees today, I think it still is summer lol.

I think this is the best summer that we have had yet do date!  We finally went on a real vacation!  Oh what a blast we had.  It just wasn't long enough.  We rented a car and traveled to Gatlinburg Tennessee!  We met Michelle, Daisy, Lisa, and Lisa.  That meeting of course was the best part of the whole trip.  We rented a very nice cabin (all of us) and we, (dh, dd, ds and I) were on the bottom floor, Lisa, and Lisa were on the main floor, and Daisy was on the top floor.  Michelle and her family stayed with her sister in a nearby town!!

We went to Dolly wood.  Oh I could spend more time there.  There were a couple of rides that I wouldn't have minded going on, but my children just wouldn't have it.  I did talk everyone in to going on the new Mine ride.  Oh it was scary.  Then I got ds to go with me on one of the wooden roller coasters.  While we were on the ride, I would glance at him and the look on his face told me that maybe I shouldn't have brought him on this ride, but it was too late.  We were going up, and down and over and twisting all very very fast!!!  I thought to myself, "if I ever get him off of this thing, (I thought it was a blast) I will forever beg for his forgiveness and sware to him that mommy will never make him ride on anything like that again".

So we get off of it, and as we are starting to walk on fhe walkway down and away from the rollercoaster, I asked him, "Are you okay?'   He was still looking a bit wobbley and he looked at me and said, "That was fun mom!".  Huh?  Wow, I never thought he would have enjoyed it by the look on his face earlier!!!   But he told me, "I don't think that (dd) would like it.."  He had a point there.  lol

Back home again, we were in the middle of softball/baseball.   Dd's team won first place in her division this year!!  Yay!  Ds's came in second I think.  But it is okay, Because ds's team last year came in first, so now both children have a first place team memory!!!

Those are just a couple highlights of our summer.

That cracked me up! The things we do to our kids!!! My sons first roller coaster ride at age 6 was a 200 foot drop at 90 miles an hour! He wanted to do it, but I should have realized how scary that would be! He is getting better about coasters now, will go on almost all of them at Lagoon, but the new Wicked, which I just love!!!!

Keep on having fun!!! The kids will survive!!
