Blueberry Festival & Six Flags

On Saturday we took a little road trip to visit Lehigh University, located in Bethlehem PA. It is around a hour and a half drive, and so beautiful. It was SUPER hot, and it felt good to be in the air conditioned car! The university is pretty, and situated along a steep hill... between the stairs and the heat, we opted to drive around instead of walk :) I happened to see a banner that a Blueberry Festival was taking place this weekend, and so we decided to check it out!  

The girls got to see some baby ducks, goats and sheep. They were a little afraid to pet them, but enjoyed watching them.



Oh my goodness, was it hot. Think humid, sunny and 95 degrees. Ugh! The things you endure for blueberry pie and ice cream...lol.

Yum: Blueberry ice cream with fresh blueberries on top!! Maddie was a fan!

Blueberry Crumb Pie, and a red-cheeked Lulu.

Funny Daddy!! He was lucky I shared my pie with him ;)

On Sunday we went to church, and Jarrett took a quick pic of the girls in their dresses. Jarrett visited a cute little consignment store in downtown Princeton one day on his lunch break and couldn't resist getting his little ladies a dress! Of course the girls were delighted, and I couldn't have chosen better! Thank you Daddy!! 

 

Jarrett's division had some tickets from Six Flags leftover from an event, so his entire office got to bring their families along for an impromptu "retreat". We all met at the front of the park and road the Safari Adventure ride together... Jarrett's co-workers got a kick out of watching Madison's joy at seeing the animals. Her face expression says it all...

"Whoa! There is a Giraffe RIGHT THERE!!"

Rhinos

 

"Look Daddy, ZEBRAS!"

Giraffes

 

Lindsay enjoyed the ride, mostly the breeze blowing and shade. It was so, so humid. Ick!

Can you spot the black bear in the tree?



This was my favorite picture. This big brown bear was just chilling in the water. What was hilarious was that there were bubbles popping up around him, and it looked like a Jacuzzi. I am not sure where the bubbles were coming from...lol.

 

Lindsay and Celia (J's bosses' Daughter) riding one of the kid rides. She was unsure at first, but did fantastic!

Whoo Hoo! Lindsay and Daddy had so much fun!

After lunch with the co-workers and a few rides, the skies opened up and it was a torrential downpour! We ran underneath the tracks of a ride to stay dry, but ended up getting soaked. We made a run for our car and made it before the thunder and lightening began. The rain and thunder/lightening continued all night long, but thankfully, the girls slept through it (can't say the same for Mama & Daddy). It was a fun NJ summer weekend!
