first time at great escape!

i can remember going to great escape every summer with my amily as a kid. it was always a big surprise, as we never knew which day we were going to go and it was so much fun! i love that i get to take jack and daley to something that i got to do as a kid, and see the same excitement in their eyes.

daley never ceases to amaze me, i thought she would go into this with a bit of trepidation, but instead she went on the rides and never looked back. she showed no fear and made us go on many of them two or three times! lucky for us the crowd wasn't bad at all that day!

another first for her was blueberry picking. it was a hot day, but she was a trooper despite lacking a bit of sleep. she really got into it as long as the bees didn't come near her-she has recently developed a bit of a fear of bees. funnily enough, she was just up close and personal with one this afternoon as she got right in its face to see what it was doing. i guess it has to be on her terms!

lastly, while she isn't swimming from one end to another in the pool, she is getting more and more acclimated to the water and moving a bit more on her own. i think she is finally realizing the sense of freedom she can have.
