Melissa's Birthday

On the ninth was Melissa's Birthday. It was Sunday so we woke up and went to church. Melissa was substituting for the chorister in Primary, so she got to sing happy birthday to the kids and to herself. After church we just relaxed for a while because in a few hours it was going to get a bit more exciting. My sister Lauren, her husband and her two boys came over, Melissa's sister Sharon, her husband and her three boys came over, so for dinner we had seven adults, and five very active little boys. It was exciting. My mom mad a recreation of the top tier of our wedding cake, except it said Happy Birthday Melissa on it.



That was all good and fun, but the family that Melissa nannies for was on a long weekend and so she had Monday off. We decided to go to King's Dominion for some more fun. Growing up my family loved King's Dominion and went most summers. It had been many years since I had gone however and I was excited to go back.



This is the drop tower that takes you up and up and up and then lets you free fall for what seems like a lifetime.



This is us just before leaving on "The Dominator." It was my favorite ride. It has the world's tallest inverted loop. Lots of fun.
It was really hot and in the afternoon we went to cool off in the water park, which felt wonderful. Aside from the heat it was a great day.
