We got home from Stratford at about noon and then we got ready to go to Splash Point (the "waterpark" inside the new Holiday Inn) We had a coupon for buy one get one free and Lily is free anyways with an adult. It's $12/person and I'm glad we didn't have to spend any more than that. There are two pool sections: one for kids (only 1 ft deep) and one where you can play water basketball (only 3 ft deep) there is one waterslide which was closed. Even though we felt ripped off we had fun anyways. Lily and Adam had fun playing in these water fountains and Adam would step on two of them and the third would shoot up really high. Lily thought that was pretty cool.
After that we met up with my parents and went to Pacelli Panacea. We walked through the building but everything inside was pretty much closing up (including the kiddie area outside) We shared a blue moon ice cream cone and then walked around the carnival. Lily went on the carousel three times! She also played pick-a-duck three times and won a fish hammer, rubber duckie, and a yellow elephant.

Next we went to Perkins and had a really good dinner. We picked Perkins because we hadn't been there in a long time and we have bad luck with going out on special occasions (got sick from both Grazies and Applebees on our birthdays)
We went to my parents house and hung out for a little while. My dad showed Lily a big thing of packing bubbles so she had fun stepping on them and making them pop! [See video of popping bubblesHERE
Now we are home and Lily went to sleep at like 9:30. She didn't really have a nap again today. She's been better this weekend...not as psycho about her teeth. We are going to start putting her to bed early now because we think when we try to put her to bed at her normal time now she is too tired.
