Memorable Memorial

We had a great weekend consisting of 4 days.  We took the kids to Valley World of Fun.  It's a small amusement park with miniature golf, bumper boats, fun slide, free fall, bowling, laser tag, a small roller coaster, teacups, etc.  Anyways, by the days end the kids asked if we could live there forever (as if it were seriously an option).  Paige even thanked God on a couple of occasions for the "fun world place".  Lane's favorite was the arcade and fun slide.  Paige's favorite was the free fall and would even put her hands in the air (thanks to daddy's encouragement) while I held on to her one knee that I could reach just to make me feel better. She is definitely our more adventurous one (aside from water).  On Memorial Day we went canoeing on Cheat River with the kids.  Paige was not very excited in the canoe.  She would yell at anyone that would move in fear that we would tip over (I silently felt the same way but was too busy concentrating on getting past the little rapids or rocks).  We made it to the end of the 9 miles all in one piece and somewhat dry.  Blake got to do some fishing and even caught a fish (which Lane didn't think possible).  It was beautiful and we had a lot of fun.  My arms we so tired and Blake couldn't understand why until I reminded him that he fished for most of the 9 miles while I kept him out of the side of the river.  I'll post some pictures when I get my camera hooked up to the computer.
