I convinced the fam to take the obligatory "Humpty Dumpty picture" that has been plastered all over facebook lately. It was our last stop before leaving Storyland- and it shows! The kids nearly fell asleep posing!
We drove to NH on Tuesday afternoon to enjoy a few hours at Storyland and get the lay of the land. Then- ate dinner at the only restaurant we could find on the way to the hotel, which happened to be totally awesome...they had a movie room & a toy room available while we waited for a table. The food wasn't that great, but we were very thankful for the kid-friendly entertainment! In fact, while we were waiting Felix made friends with a family that was also there to visit SL and we kept running into them all over the park the next day....we even ended up on a ride with them, and saw them on our way out of the park to the car!
This section of the park was fun- it brought lots of nursery rhymes to life! They had all the parts of One, Two buckle my shoe....REAL 3 little pigs and their houses, London Bridge, and even a ball pit sized perfectly for Levi and a bigger one for Emma.
Check out her face on these spinning tea cups- sooooo happy with Daddy!
Our hotel was great! It was like the perfect little kid-friendly bed & breakfast, tucked away in the woods with beautiful scenery. They cooked us fresh breakfast in the morning, which we tried to enjoy- even though Emma was an absolute horror show during breakfast! So we scarfed down our food and brought the kids on a walk to check out the grounds.
One room with a king bed, 2 portable cribs, a tub in the corner of the room, a bathroom with a shower, and a 13" flat screen mounted on the wall. Oh yea, one moth and 3 spiders- but Felix got rid of those for us! We finally ALL settled into the big king bed by 10pm, and after much tossing & turning by the little L-man, I made him sleep in the crib. He cried for about 30 seconds before falling asleep, which completely shocked us! So to show him up- Emma ASKED to go in her crib. Heaven! Although, Emma ended up in our bed at some point in the night, but I didn't even notice!!! We all slept peacefully until about 6am when the little guy woke up. I brought him in the bed and nursed him back to sleep....I woke up about an hour later and Emma was lying on his belly like a pillow....and he was fast asleep!!!

Back to Storyland the next day.....Emma was in LOVE with this flying ball exhibit. We literally had to take her out kicking & screaming the first day....and tell her it was closed the 2nd day we went back so we could see the rest of the park first! They had all these vacuums and hoses and the kids could put balls in that would shoot out somewhere else, or vacuum them up. Tons of germ-filled fun!!
"Milking" the cow. Shortly after this picture, Emma pulled the whole utter off and exposed the true source of "milk" as the hose head sprayed water everywhere.
Fun driving tractors.! There were a few of these types of rides we were able to go on that were so fun for her. Poor little L.....he didn't get to do much on his own like his big sis did, but he was a trooper and had lots of fun on all the rides and entertainment.
We even got to see a couple shows. One was a circus, and since then- Emma has been reenacting the performances. The other day she threw a blanket over me and then ripped it off to show my amazing costume transformations! And she makes us all sit on the couch, turns off the living room lights and yells (her face turns red) "Ladies & Gentlemen, it's the Emma show......" followed by some crazy dance moves/full body convulsions.
It was a fast trip, and a lot of driving for such a quick, action filled trip! I vote next time we stay for a few days and do more fun stuff that NH has to offer.....gotta love those family vacations!!!
