Our First Vacation

Back in July, we went on our very first vacation! Our Mema and Grandpa took us, mommy and daddy, Uncle Chris, and Uncle Anthony to the BAHAMAS!

We had to get passports, because mom and dad said we left the country. Everyone made a big deal about how cute we were and how funny it will be when we and 5 and still have our baby passports. Daddy said he was very proud of how good we were on the plane. Riley cried for about 5 seconds on the way there because his ears hurt, and Logan didn't cry at all. Neither of us cried on the way home. The lady sitting behind Mema, Riley, and Mommy was behind us on the way there and the way back and she didn't even notice Logan until we got off the plane in Newark. We are awesome!

We really loved the Bahamas. We had a pool with these cool pipe/waterfalls right outside of out building. Then every day we got on a bus or walked over to see the Atlantis aquarium, which was really cool! We love fishies! Then we would all go over to the pools. The first two days we stayed by a cool kiddie pool area. Mema and Grandpa and Uncle Anthony played with us in the water a lot and we loved it!!!

If you are wondering why all the first pictures are of my brother, its because I got in a habit from our 1st full day of taking a morning nap by the pool.

We went on kid slides (hopefully Uncle Anthony will send us the pictures) and splashed a lot. Mom, Dad, and Uncle Anthony also took us down some bigger kid slides!

In the evenings, we went out for dinner and then walked outside. There was music and entertainment every night!

Here's a video of Logan chasing some  remote control cars the Atlantis  staff were driving around:

We got to go to the beach for the first time. Riley LOVED the sand and liked the water. Logan loved the water, but did not like the sand. (I was okay with sitting on mommy's lap, but not exactly happy.)

We lost a day and a half to rain, but we found things to do inside. Plus, mom and day let us swim in the rain! We had these fun blow up tubes that Mema bought us that had a roof,  so we didn't even get our hair wet.

We got into a routine quickly and mommy and daddy said we were really well behaved, which is good, because we love going on vacation! We had so much fun by the pool!

And we definitely enjoyed the night life!

We had a great time! When do we get to go again?

Summer goes by way too quick!

We have been busy since getting back from vacation! Between our first weekend away from mommy and daddy at Mema and Grandpa's house, getting a visit from mommy's best friend Sarah and from Daddy's cousins Angela and Dan, visiting Dorney, going to the Lehigh Valley Zoo and Philly Zoo, checking out Musikfest, and hanging out at the shops, summer has been going way too fast. Here are a few pictures of our adventures:

This is Riley and his new best friend, Spunky the goat. For what ever reason, he was only willing to pet Spunky and Crystal and would start crying if I took him away from them to see the other goats.

We love summer!

On Saturday, the 29th, we went to Nick and Kristina's house for Anthony's first birthday. Anthony has a cute little playhouse outside that the we wanted to play in immediately. When we went in, Logan went over to the play faucet, touched it and said "Shhhhhhhh." Hilarious!  He did that every time he touch it, so you know Mommy had to try and film it.

On Monday, we went to celebrate Sean's 12th birthday. We love birthdays, because birthdays mean cake. Plus Mikey and Ryan took us in the pool and then Sean, Ryan, and Mommy took turns having races pushing us on our trucks. (We have to get a video from Mema - Mommy forgot her flip that day!) We had to write about it because we had so much fun with our cousins!


On Tuesday we went to visit Mommy's friend Adrienne and Riley and Logan's friend Ava. The three of them played so nice together! We have to ask Adrienne to send us some of the pictures!

On Wednesday Mommy blew up the ball pit that Ava gave us for our birthday. The first thing she did (before we woke up from our nap) was order more balls! We had so much fun. Then Mommy's friend Brandy came over and we got to play with Lindsay and Emma. We hope to see them again soon!

Check out my awesome hair

 

Thursday was Independence day. Since Mommy and Daddy are fantastic, they took us to Dorney Park and to Ice Cream World. Then, when it got dark, we went to see fireworks!

 Daddy had the smart idea of bringing our toys so that we could play with them in the trunk.

Then, the fireworks started and we loved them! We pointed at the pretty lights and got so excited we had to dance!

Friday was a beautiful day, so we went to Mema and Grandpa's house to go swimming. Mommy bought us these cool boats for the pool. Then Mema bought us a water/sand table and filled it with blue sand. It was so cool!

On Sunday we went back to Hillsborough for Grandpa's birthday! It was another beautiful day for the pool and Mema even turned on the waterfall for us! Then we went out to a fancy restaurant and were very well behaved! Hooray for us!

On Tuesday our extra balls arrived:

Then when Daddy came home we went to see the Iron Pigs! The weather was beautiful and the lawn seats were not crowded. There was plenty of room for us to play and we were very good!
