Hi.
We are were here.
We like liked it.
Lucy is was amazing for someone who hates traveling.
Emma is hanging hung in there. For being in a new place, outside of her normal routine, she did fantastic!
We went to the aquarium …
… climbed rode an elevator to eye-level with the surrounding mountains …
[some of us stood next to the edge … some of us sat next to the elevator]
… rode some swings
… slid down a few water slides [including one with a 40 foot vertical drop that a certain 4-year old rode TWELVE TIMES]
… rode the “River Rampage” six times … and “only” six because it had to shut down for a couple of hours
… rode up a mountain with our feet dangling below us
… went here
… and here
… and here
… and just spent time together. So much time together.
And that was the best part of all.
Maybe one day, I’ll actually do a recap or something. But I have learned not to make any promises. Especially in the summer.
Oh yeah … I started this post while on vacation. We got back 3 days ago.

Lucy’s eyelashes in that one shot; oh my.
Your new watermark is crazy-awesome-cool.
