Well, most of you probably already know this but my family doesn't have the greatest luck. In anything. Cars, contests, furniture, appliances, electrical equipment, you name it it's broken. So anyway, I should have expected it to rain when we had the chance to get cheap tickets to Dorney Park from the Girl Scouts. And. It. Rained. Excuse me, it didn't just rain, it poured buckets of cold water from the heavens. But we plugged along anyway. And as sometimes happens, we were rewarded for our (stupidity) perserverance. Two hours into our day at Dorney, the torrential downpours changed to a drizzle and then miraculously the sun came out! We were completely soaked to the skin but we ended up staying another four hours and we really had a great time. I even used a hot air hand dryer to dry my heiney while Scott and Bridgette drove the antique cars!
So needless to say, I was not about to bring my camera into the park when it was pouring. Thus, we have no pictures of our fun day except these three from the parking lot as we were leaving.
Bridgette was a little bummed that she couldn't ride the really big roller coasters because you had to be 48 in and she was only 44 . That girl has no fear! I was 14 before I would even think about riding a roller coaster. But I ended up taking her on the "kiddie" version of a roller coaster called the Dragon and boy was it scary! I totally was surprised when it whipped us around and down this little hill. It was so fast. Yeah, I told you I'm kind of a wuss!
This is how the Coca-Cola bear relaxes:
This one's for you mom:
This bird never goes anywhere with out his toy:
Snuggling:
Watching the wild dog take a nap:
This kangaroo was just chillin'
As you can see we saw a lot of animals and the weather held up nicely. We can't wait to go back!

These lillies were a special treat. When Scott and I first met nine years ago, he worked for a Country Club in Kutztown. One day (this was back when he was trying to woo me.) he asked me to come to his dorm room and when I did, the whole room was filled with these Stargazer Lillies. The room smelled wonderful and it was gorgeous. It was one of the nicest things he ever did for me. Of course, I was 19 and didn't know anything about flowers so it took me several years to find out what kind they were. And when I did, I found out they are pretty expensive. But this year Scott decided to treat me! I am one lucky gal!
I also got to spend the whole day scrapping while Scott took B and his mom and his brother on a hike!
