Young Love

We've had quite the weekend!  Had an amazing time at Hershey Park on Saturday.  We were so fortunate the rain cleared out.  Just a little chilly with the high only in the 50's, which wouldn't have been bad but it was very windy.  We stayed a good 7 hours though and had plenty of rides!
My children are so much braver than I thought.  Schylar got on her first EVER roller coaster, and Viv got on her second coaster, first non-wooden one.

Yes, the Super Dooper Looper!  They are both Peanut Butter Cups, so they met the minimum ride requirements to get on.  Schy rode with Uncle Rich, Viv rode with Aunt Alicia (and since I got ditched, I stood off to the side taking pictures before the ride started lol).

Viv LOVED it instantly.  Schy was terrified, got off saying, "It was horrible, let's do it again!"  I don't think she knows what the word horrible means lol.
After riding that, Viv's boyfriend and his parents got to the park, so we met up with them.  The kids had a BLAST riding together.  Bryce is very social and includes Schylar in everything, which is so nice because as a parent, I know Viv will have friends and will not always want her sister to tag along, but those that include her sister are a special treat.

Viv is definitely not my kid when it comes to some rides.  She wanted to get on this one and my stomach just said NO lol.  Bryce's mom, Jackie, volunteered to get on with her.  She said my crazy child laughed hysterically the whole time, loving it.  This is the ride.

The picture on the right, if you look in the red cart to the left, you can see my crazy girl in the pink coat trying to lean over and see out the side.  At least I don't have to worry about her being afraid of heights!
It was such a fun time though.  We originally had planned to leave the park around 6, and swing by McDonald's on the way out so we didn't spend an arm and a leg on food in the park.  We all got along so well, Bryce's parents actually offered to buy dinner in the park for all of us so the kids could continue playing.  On the way to get pizza, we passed the karaoke stand and Bryce asked Vivienne to dance, then danced with Schy, then Viv again.
He proceeds to tell Vivienne, "I could marry anyone I want, but I wanna marry you."  He asked his mom and me if we could all sit at a separate table at the pizza place so they could have a date (we allowed it).  He asked his mom if she thought it was a good place to kiss (she said no).  As we were going through Chocolate World, right before we left he told me he loved her.  And in the gift shop he saw a little keychain and was like, "I should have brought my piggy bank money, I wanna buy this for her!"
The innocence and purity behind it is so sweet.  I'm sure in 10 years I'll feel differently when a boy asks if he can take my daughter for pizza, but for now it's so cute.  You can't deny it.

Not to Brag

But...well, okay I'm going to.  I had a fantastic day, which doesn't happen often.
Woke up and did my weekly measurements.  Found even more progress!  Down a total of 10.25 inches and four pounds total.  Although 1/4 of my weight loss has come from my boobs, which saddens me.  It's probably a good thing I didn't measure my butt or this weight loss business would send me into a depression lol.

Jeff's best man came over last weekend and he finally got to ask/tell him.  Our wedding party is officially set.  He LOVED Jeff's ring, thought it was awesome.  He's all on board for the wedding.  I found it quite funny, he drove an hour to our house to chill, him and Jeff went on a beer run and watched Frozen with the girls.  Ah, what grown men do on a crazy Saturday night eh?
Today was the start of a short Easter break.  Viv's little "boyfriend" had asked yesterday if her and Schy could come over and play, I said to have his mom call me.  We ended up going over there around 2:00, the kids played hard and before we knew it, it was after 6:00!  They were jumping on the trampoline, driving the Gator around, playing Xbox, just having a good old time.  His mom said he talks about Viv all the time.
It was nice though, not having to worry much about what they were doing, having conversation with another adult female.  I have like ONE friend I talk to on a regular basis, not much of an outgoing meet-new-people type.  She's the same, and we ended up having a lot to talk about.
Tomorrow we're all meeting up at Hershey Park, assuming the rain clears out.  We bought season passes and I was telling his dad about how much more affordable it is with the pass; he ended up buying some for their family too.  My best friend's also going to be there so we'll have a nice little group.
I'm just happy to be able to give my kids a chance to socialize more than I had.  If it wasn't with someone who lived in the development, I didn't get to go to a friend's house until I was in the 3rd grade.  And even then it was very rare.  I want to give the girls every chance to succeed. I can already tell Viv is following in my footsteps though; in school I was surrounded by male friends, even when I was her age.  The fact that two of her best friends in school are boys just proves it lol.  I can't blame her though, Bryce is the sweetest thing I've ever seen.
He gets her book bag for her at school, gets her folder out.  They walk to the front door together.  Today Schy had trouble getting off the trampoline, he jumped down and helped get her down!  His parents are definitely raising a well-mannered man.
Well, off to bed since tomorrow's going to be busy.  Happy Easter all!!
