POLP Weekend

As many of you have already heard about & seen pictures from Facebook & Emily, Kim, Melissa & Amanda’s blogs we had an awesome POLP weekend vacation! Thanks so much to Jenn for organizing the whole trip! It was so much fun!

WARNING LOTS OF PICTURES!!!! (So I will keep the captions to a minimum!)

DAY 1- Dutch Wonderland

It ended up being a beautiful day to go to the amusement park! Although it did get real hot & humid, it was overcast most of the day so it wasn’t scorching hot!

I am so extremely surprised at my little dare devil children & all of the rides they went on! Especially the Tilt-a-Whirl! Seriously how can these kids get car sick & puke all over the car, but can ride the Tilt-a-Whirl & be completely fine?!? And want to ride it again!!

Since we had just gone to Hershey in November we only hung out for a little while & then hit the road! But before heading home we first made a pit stop at the Outlet mall & got some amazing deals!!! The perfect ending to a great weekend!

We had a great time! Just wish there was more time for us all to really be in one spot to chat w/ eachother & for the kids to play! It’s hard having that many kids & not be pulled in 100 different directions! But looking forward to next time!! Wish we all lived even closer so we could do this all the time!!

Thanks again Jenn!! You did a great job organizing this!

Wow! You really got some awesome pics!!! Me too, wish we had some more time in an area where we could chat and the kids could play! It was pretty crazy there, but soooo much fun! We absolutely have to plan another get together like this next year! We should make it a yearly tradition! :)

What a fun weekend! Wish T was walking better so he could have run around with the boys at the water park - that looked like tons of fun! Next time we'll have to plan one day to just go to a local park or something and hang out! It was so great to meet you guys!

Great pictures - the boys looked like they had a total blast at the water! So glad everybody had a good time, am just a little jealous we don't live a few hours closer so we could've gone too! :o)

It was so good to see you guys! The water part looks like fun - wish we could have gotten off the train to see it! :-)

We had so much fun. Truly Ethan cracks me up. I think he will be a reporter. He can fire out questions like the best of them. Preston had a great time with the boys. I wished we lived closer to see you guys more often. The boys are awesome together. You got some great group shots!

It was so great to meet you guys! I was happy to be able to help coordinate the weekend! You got great photos! Ethan and Collin are so adorable, and I loved watching them with Seamus, Grace, and Preston . . . what a fun and cute crew!! Hopefully, we'll have more time to chat in Nashville! Simon is looking forward to seeing his buddies again in a few weeks!

I love that you captured Fred coming down the water slide fully clothed! That water park was too awesome, I'd like to go back just to be able to spend more time there! So much fun, maybe Sesame Place can be next on our list!
