Day two took us to Oakwood theme park where Emma was keen to ride every thrill ride in sight. She even begged to do the Bungee Jump, which she later re-named "The Mother's Terror." Sophie played it safe and enjoyed her favorite roller coaster, The Treetops about 40 times. The Treetops was fast and thrilling, but there were no tremendous drops or loop-the-loops. Riding on a roller coaster with Sophia Carson is one of the most life-affirming, uplifting, joy-inducing experiences I've ever had. Sitting next to her as she laughs with extreme delight from start to finish, one cannot help but join in. Here she is looking very excited about her impending ride...
And here are both girls enjoying The Treetops. At the end of the day, those lucky ducks got to have the ride all to themselves for about ten turns!! We got to know the ride attendant, Pat, extremely well.
The scenery at Bluestone was absolutely gorgeous. Sometimes we'd stop and just say: Wow!...
On Sunday we all headed over to the Blue Lagoon where Lili had her first experience with swimming. For someone who hated bathing as much as she did her first couple of months, she was pleasantly relaxed in the pool. She and her ruffly yellow bathing suit also elicited lots of Awww's from other swimmers. Lili and I especially enjoyed the "lazy river" and spent lots of time swimming there while Sophie, Emma and George braved the giant water slides and flumes. Jolly good fun!

Happy Spring break, Y'all!!
