4th of July fun!

The fourth of July was a great weekend for our family! The boys woke up super excited on that day and remembered it was the 1st Saturday of the month-- so that meant Home Depot kid's clinic!
This time Daddy got to come with us so it was especially fun! They made little picnic caddies and now they are the tote for whatever they can find that fits in them!







Then we got adventurous and decided to go to a big children's amusement park near Pittsburgh. It is called Idlewild, and it was such a great place! Everything is geared for young children, so Carson and Connor where able to ride on EVERYTHING! It was so fun to see how excited they were about what looked like the lamest rides. They didn't care and had such a great day. We even stayed until 10:00 when they had a firework show and it was also great. It has an attached (and included in the price) water park with big slides and tubes kind of like Sunsplash in Az. We got in our suits and realized that 70 degrees just isn't very warm to go swimming. :(
Overall though I would recommend this little place to anyone who has young children who ventures out this way!
Here are a few highlights:

This one looked especially lame, but it turned out to be one of their favorites! They basically pedalled with their hands along this little track. We weren't sure if Connor could do it or not, so they let one of us walk behind with a stick in case he needed a push. As you can see, the stick was not needed since Kevin was RUNNING just to keep up with Connor! He was hauling!
