Etnaland

As the summer was coming to a close, we decided it was time to make our way to Etnaland.  This "land" is a water park named for the volcano, Mount Etna, that is located very near us.  Etnaland also houses an amusement park with rides, but we decided to stick to the water.   


Benny LOVED it!!


We went with our neighbors, the Fahey family.  Evan and Ben are two peas in a pod.  



The wave pool was hilarious!  There were performers on the side of the pool.  Everyone danced and partied.  It was awesome!  




All of the kiddos

We got a sitter for Sullivan, so it was just the five of us.  We are always quite the spectacle at the beach and the water park was no different.  Very, very, very few women wear one piece swimsuits and very, very few men wear anything but Speedos.  Good times.  I've decided I need a hefty serving of whatever confidence brownies these Italians are eating.   

We had such a fun day!  We'll definitely make our way back next year!





We love Sully!

Sullivan has become like the street mascot.  Everyone is always always so happy to see him and the kids all swarm around when he's out to play.  

Who knew that three big bowls of water and a baby could be so entertaining?  


The Via Taormina crowd is a happy bunch.  Even with this crew, we are missing quite a few.

Sure love this little man.
