And Up and Down, And Up And Down Day

First, I should say happy fourth, and second I will say good thing you weren't along for the Shipley family coaster ride today!

DOWN: We aren't going to Strasburg like we planned

UP: We find a water park inside a state park that looks like fun

DOWN: It starts storming (BAD!) after 23 minutes at the park

UP: Daddy decides to treat kids to McDonald's for dinner

DOWN: Power starts to go out in McDonalds and we take the bags and rush to the car

UP: Daddy promised ice cream at Sweet Frog

DOWN: Sweet Frog has outdoor seating (it is storming like CRAZY)

UP: Mommy makes kids matching t-shirts for the day

DOWN: There is no way we can go to a fireworks display with Thomas and storm

UP: Daddy buys fireworks to put off in front yard

DOWN: Kids are scared of them, Gracie hides, Thomas covers ears and both stay inside

UP: Mommy bought $1 package of glow sticks and kids have a great time with all the lights off inside.

We hope you all had a great 4th!
