Little daredevil

We finally decided to take advantage of the fact that we have an amusement park for kids 15 minutes away. If we had thought about it sooner, we would have gotten a season pass to Dutch Wonderland, but it is kind of pointless now that summer is almost over. We did get a 2 day flex pass, though, so we can go again. We already knew after going to Waldameer that Camryn loves rides. So, we were looking forward to some fun at Dutch Wonderland. It is a very cute park and it wasn't crowded since it was a Monday. She was able to ride most of the rides - I think there were only a few that she wasn't tall enough for yet. I can't wait until we can ride the roller coasters together!! There were family rides that we could ride together and rides that she rode all on her own. She still enjoyed the Frog Hopper a great deal, but found some new favorites. She LOVED spinning in the Turtle Whirl (tilt-a-whirl) and couldn't get enough of the Wonder Whip. After her first ride, she decided it was much more fun to put her hands up as she whipped around the corner! Needless to say, I was very proud! The other parents were getting a kick out of her screams of delight and the fact that she wasn't holding on! We all had a really fun time together and look forward to when we go again.

In other news, potty training is going well. We have been at it for over a week now. She is really good at home, but we are working on when we are out of the house. We are probably making a mistake by using pull-ups when we are gone, but I am not ready to deal with accidents quite yet. She is getting good at telling me when she has to go, though. She has told me while we were at Gymboree and while we were at a friend's house. When she becomes more consistent with telling me while we are out and she is distracted, we will back off on the pull-ups. I was totally dreading the whole process, but she is making it fairly easy so far.

Chris and I were also able to get away for a night last Thursday thanks to my sister. Camryn had another sleep over with Connor and Ella and Chris and I had a night of a romantic dinner, Green Eggs (a band), and slot machines. We haven't seen Green Eggs since right before I found out I was pregnant, so it was nice to see them and it brought back good memories. They played at the new casino near here, so it was a watered down performance, but that is ok. Then, I got addicted to Jackpot Party - I could play that all night! It was a great night away and much needed!

Chris and Camryn are back from Gymboree and Roots (a wonderful farmer's market), so my alone time this morning is over. At least I was able to get everyone caught up on what we have been up to!! Oh yeah, check out the new pictures on the website as well!!
