Summer Vacation - Storybook Land

Well, we decided to take advantage of the end of Jason's layoff by going on a summer vacation. Nothing overly exciting, but a week at the shore. We were given the idea to go to Storybook Land while we were there. It was just a quick up the parkway and tada....out of nowhere...there it is. It was HOT that day. I mean HOT HOT HOT! We quickly discovered which rides Julia liked, and which ones she didn't. The ones that go around in spinning circles are a definite NO. She did have a blast, though, on the old time cars, the train, and the ferris wheel. Our favorite destination, however, was the North Pole. We had walked by it several times throughout the day and I thought it was just a cement post that had been painted white with a North Pole sign placed on top. Boy was I wrong...and grateful! It was solid ICE! What a nice way to cool down. We'll have to keep that in mind next time.

This balloon ride was a no.
The flying dragons were a definite NO!
Thank goodness for ice cream. We needed a cool down break!
On the ferris wheel. She didn't mind this one.
Keira hanging out. She did really well considering the heat.

Ahh, relief! I would have hugged it if I wasn't holding Keira.

Julia wanted to lick it! She did think it was pretty cool, though.
