Lucky number 7

So June 5th, marked mine and Nate's 7 year wedding anniversary. (and also my big brother's birthday. Thanks for sharing your day with us Jay.)

We didn't do anything exciting that night, cause Nate had to work late. However he did bring home some beautiful roses for me, and the following morning went to our favorite place for breakfast,

They have the best cinnamon french toast, pancakes, cinnamon rolls and an egg sandwich on a pretzel roll that is to DIE for! We usually get the egg sandwich and the french toast then split them cause who can decide between those options? A little bit of sweet and salty.

The next morning we ditched the kids and went to Hershey park where we rode the "big kid rides" The newest one Fahrenheit, named because you climb a 90 degree ascent then fall 121 feet at 97 degrees. This is the best I can do to help you experience the "heat"



We did all this during the heat wave we've been having. When we got into our car, the temp was 105 degrees. We thought we'd left the hot humid weather when we said good-bye to New Orleans but it looks like that ain't so.
But, because of this heat, everyone was at the water park portion, so we were able to walk onto the next ride, (the storm runner) and ran back on and waited a few minutes to ride in the front car.
This ride reminds us of how they take off on aircraft carriers. It launches you from 0-72 mph in 2 seconds. You hear the words: "Now Get ready...Here we go......." And you're gone. 30 seconds later you're done but it is one of the best rides you'll go on.

the Storm Runner


Funny thing. Both Nate and I prepare ourselves as we hear that deep voice say "GO" by bracing ourselves. Come to find out we both got bruises on our triceps from the speed of acceleration. But totally worth it!!!


Last but not least we ran to the other end of the park, downed a drink to keep from passing out and went on the great bear. It's one of those rides where you sit down and let your feet dangle. These are my favorite rides. They don't seem to be quite as jerky as some of the other ones.
We had an awesome morning just spending time together. I am so glad I married such a wonderful man who takes such good care of me and my two boys. I look forward to another 7 years, and many more after that!
