Mini-vacation

This past week we had VBS (Vacation Bible School) at our church. The girls both LOVED it. On Thursday morning, though, we left for Pennsylvania. Some friends that we met on our cruise this last time, Scott & Sue, were getting married on Saturday, so we went a couple days early & stopped in Eria, PA at Splash Lagoon indoor water park. We had a fun time & Mackenzie really learned to love all the water slides! She wasn't afraid of any of them by the time we were done. There's only 1 that she didn't get to ride cuz I didn't feel like she was a good enough swimmer. Jenna was probably the funniest. She was scared of everything at first until we literally MADE her try things, then she realized how fun they were & thought she was big stuff doing the kid's slides by herself. Camden enjoyed the water, too, although he spent most of his time in the stroller chewing on toys or sleeping :)

In the kid's hot tub (which is really a "lukewarm" tub):

Jenna coming down the big red slide (more about this experience later...):
Kenzie coming out of the Black Hole water slide. The entire slide is enclosed so you can't see a thing coming down, but she loved it!
And now for a couple videos of Jenna. She was absolutely petrified of going down the big red slide, so I took her up, talked real sweet to her, and then when it was her turn acted like I was gonna go down with her (only 1 person is allowed at a time), then gave her a quick shove & away she went! It was pretty funny! Tom was at the bottom, and this first video is what she did when she got to the bottom.

And then I decided to take a video from the top of her riding all the way down. This one's a little tougher to see, but if you watch closely, she gets turned backwards on her way down. I thought for sure she'd freak out, but Tom said she came out laughing at the bottom. Needless to say, after a couple trips, she liked the ride & actually asked to ride it instead of us making her ride it!!
