Summer Recap (Maryland Part 1)

Tessa got out of school at the beginning of June, we had her skip the last day and instead we got an early start on our drive to Maryland. 
 Ready and VERY excited to be finally going back to Maryland!
 My kids love DVDs.
30 minutes into the ride, Caroline got carsick...the stop to clean everything up took 30 minutes.  Not exactly ideal.  Thankfully the rest of the ride was uneventful.
 Snacks at the hotel
After we checked into the hotel we headed over to Trish's to see the newest addition, Luke!  He was too cute and not nearly as fussy as I've heard.  Tessa and Calvin loved playing together and Westley found a new best friend in Tim.
The next morning we got the girls ready early for the hour drive to Dutch Wonderland.  We took Tessa last year right before she turned 3 and she has talked about it probably at least twice a month since then.  This time we were lucky enough to be joined by, Linsey with Charlie and Henry, Kelly/Mike with Rylan and Avery, Melissa/Bob with Olivia, and Audrey with Alex.  We had the best time and stayed way past when we thought we would have to leave.  Tessa loved every ride she went on!  Caroline on the other hand got scared on the log flume and didnt happily go on another ride for the rest of the day...she did however have a blast at the splash park.  Here are a few pictures:

The little ones, Avery and Caroline, at Dutch Wonderland.  They were not tall enough to ride the slides, which all the big kids loved.
 Watching the big kids on the frogs.
Watching the frog prince show.  All the kids loved this.  Tessa saw the same show last year and still can't stop talking about it.
 Daddy and Caroline.
 Linsey and Henry
 Passed out just minutes after leaving Dutch Wonderland

When we got back to Maryland we went to Olly's Shoe store in search of shoes/sandals for Caroline and maybe something for Tessa.  We ended up with white sandals for both and no sneakers for Caroline.  Her feet are so narrow, everything looked silly. (When we got home, I opened up Tessa's shoe box and found a pair of sneakers that fit Caroline perfectly so I'm glad we didn't get her anything_.  After shoes we stopped for ice cream at Hunt Valley

 Breakfast at the hotel (you can see Caroline's new sandals)
