I have a months worth of catching up to do. Di Di's World was a lot of fun!! I was actually quite impressed. There were some small roller coasters for the young children, the spinning tea cups, a ride like the "egg scrambler" at oaks park, a ride like the dragon boat at oaks park....it was pretty fun. And watching the kids faces while they went on the rides for the first time was priceless. Some were laughing, some you could tell were scared, a few started crying. Over all, it was a fun day though. The kids enjoyed it...and so did I.

During the kids Holiday we also went swimming--which when we go, for us adults, it turns into a whole day event. We take all the boys together, and then come back with the boys, and take all the girls. Normally after one group is finished, I am already exhausted--but I like to go with the second group still because it is so much fun for the kids--and it is fun to play with the kids in the water and watch them laughing and having so much fun. Since none of our kids know how to swim, it is also good to have as many extra pairs of eyes around just to keep an eye on all the kids and make sure everyone is doing okay.

Another fun thing we did during the holidays, just at our home was have a day where we had a water baloon toss, three legged race, wheel barrow race, water balloon fight, hot potato game, dance competion, and sweeties and soda. It was a fun family day. The kids had a lot of fun. And so did we. Everyone was laughing. Watching the yougest group of kids--kids 3-6 years old trying to do a 3 legged race was hilarious. The dancing competition was quite entertaining as well. It was a fun day with the kids.

I can't believe it is October already. A lot has happened--but it is hard to fill in a months worth all in one letter. I will close for now....
