Flying By

My maternity leave is just flying by. I DO NOT want it to end. Four more weeks to go. Since Callie has been on Zantac, she has been much happier, and therefore WE have been much happier. She has been sleeping 6-7 hours a night for about a week now. Too bad I don't go to sleep when she does :) Maybe one of these days I will!
Last week we headed to Holiday World, the best amusement park for families with small children. It is truly awesome. Free parking, free soft drinks (they have Pepsi Oasis with pepsi products, gatorade, and water), free sunscreen in case you forget to bring some, lots of trees and great rides for everyone. Even the games are awesome, very cheap and 'win no matter what' games. So the kids all left with stuffed animals. Plus, they have an awesome waterpark, that the kids just swoom over. I got very familiar with their nursing room, which was very comfortable and a great place to nurse Callie, but I did wish that she would go longer than two hours during the day to eat :)
Holidary World was where I truly realized that Hunter is no longer a little boy. He is very much a big boy - the first ride he rode was THIS



And the baby pool at the waterpark was too little for him this year. He was very much ready for the big rides. He also rode Pilgrim's Plunge, and said he wasn't even scared. Hard to believe.

I also realized that bringing four kids to an amusement park, one being a newborn, is much tougher than bringing three. Still, we survived and had a good time. This week Hunter turns seven, I can hardly believe it, and he has already requested a special breakfast and a trip to chuck-e-cheese.
He's also getting a camera so he can quit bugging me to take pictures with mine :)
Well, the kids are hollering, so I had better get going. Until next time!
