Vacation Day #1...

Technically it was day #2, but the first day we just settled in to our new place. Yeah for Family Amusement Parks! We had a wonderful time riding rides with Jakub and watching him experience so many new sights, sounds, games, rides, etc. Here are some of my favorite pictures from that day:


Not the best picture, but all the boys loved this ride and Jakub would constantly turn around and smile at Evan and Thompson behind him. So precious to see them all having fun together!











Jakub was too busy "driving" his truck and laughing to look at the camera. The track took us around some beautiful scenery and fun things for the kids to see. For example, this giant rabbit below. :)










Sarah and Thompson








The big, elaborate, winding, tree house. Josh and Jakub did this one together and he said Jakub did not want to leave it. I, personally, did not want to crawl through such caged, tiny spaces... :)



Peeking out from the top of the tree house...






Then came the water zone area of the park... There was so much to explore here. They had many different types of fountains, shallow pools, a "waterfall" of sorts, and various objects in the water that would turn in it or spray water out with different types of pressure.





Evan and Jakub play so well together. If Evan is around, this is the expression Jakub wears most of the time. :) Evan's been teaching Jakub lots of things lately- how to play with trains, how to jump on beds, how to splash and play in water, and how to run really fast. So sweet!











After all of that fun in the sun and water, and some lunch, came nap time. He managed to get one hour of sleep amidst all of the chaos around him. After this came the time his Daddy had been looking forward to... the tractor ride!










They had a beautiful barn and field area to ride the tractors through. There were gorgeous flowers and a lot of singing animals and scarecrows. They even had some live mice running through the grass. I'm sure that was staged, of course!








On to the alligator log ride! I have some of Sarah and Thompson doing it, too, because Josh filmed me and Jakub coming down so, I don't have pictures of that part for us.












Then it was on to the big sand pit, which also had a cave. Josh was the only one that ventured in because it was dark, hot, and had a lot of sand blowing out. We took turns with Corey and Sarah watching the kids playing in the sand while the adults rode a big roller coaster. Yeah!







Sweet Jakub watching Mommy and Daddy ride the roller coaster. It was such a beautiful and perfect day together with our families. I didn't even mention that the drive there was through the sun flower fields and vineyards of Austria. It was sunny, blue, and about 75-80F. Perfect. I won't every forget this day. And there are 3 more days coming up that are just as good... and I promise some videos to go with them... eventually... Until then!
