Back at the beginning of June we went to the Strawberry Festival at the brandywine hospital… we ate dinner and then rode rides… Logan loved it!!! Gray not so much :)   Logan has been asking to go to the Strawberry Festival ever since and so we decided to go to a theme park…

On July 26, 2010 we went to dutch wonderland (or as Logan calls it the Strawberry Festival, apparently anything with rides is now the “Strawberry Festival”). we decided to go as a family and it was one of the most wonderful days EVER!!!!

We had so much fun watching the boys have fun… Their first ride was the Mini whip and they loved it and everything else after that… I think they rode on almost every ride and we spent the afternoon in the water park it was an amazing family day!!! We are so glad we bought a 2 day flex pass and get to go again!

Here are  a few pictures of our day!!!

IMG_2162.JPG

Gray took off his gloves and melted down almost right away because his hands were cold… I took him in for a second and put his gloves back on him and back out he went….

The first day Saturday, we traveled by train to the “mall” and went to the air and space museum and then the natural history museum… Our cameras battery died so we used N & T’s but for some reason the disc they gave us won’t work on my dumb computer so I will have to show those fun pics to you some time soon…

the following 3 pictures are the boys first ride on the metro… the two after that are at the “mall”…
