Great America

    This year, Hannah opted out of a birthday party and chose to go to Great America instead.  We would have loved to take the whole family, but with our shorties, it made the most sense for Daddy and Hannah to go alone.  She had a blast.  As always, when they are one-on-one, their personalities really come through and their mouths don't stop.  Thanks to Mike for the great pics!

The big roller coaster!!

Excited and...

...scared at the same time!

Dry one moment...

...soaked the next!

  I look at her and see this beautiful girl going on big girl rides and then I look at her and see my baby loving the carousel.  This crazy dichotomy of them growing up yet still so dependent.  Her birthday does this to me every year.  An annual reminder of how time is just flying by and they won't be like this forever.  It's bittersweet for sure!
