Picture of the day: July 14

Story of our Lives! #shorties

Runner Up:

Love these Roller Coaster Riders 🙂 Shannon and I wanted to ride together and these 2 were excited to ride together. This was the only coaster that Cali was tall enough for and she loved it! Packer went once and that was more than enough.

Tuesday July 14:

Raymond woke up asking for Tea Cups with Rosie and Airplane rides! OK – we can do that!

Yes – Tiago went on the Tea Cups!! I don’t know what I was thinking. The other kids needed adults to ride with them so we hopped on.

We spent the morning at the INDOOR theme park. It was kind of wimpy BUT our kids loved it. Packer LOVED driving the bumper cars. Then we went out and found the smaller go carts that Cali and Packer and Benji could drive.

Day 2 went much smoother since we were familiar with the park and new what we were in for. We tried the OTHER water park areas and played in the big wave again. Then we went and got out of our wet clothes and chowed down at Rocky Rococos Pizza – Delicious! I loved their pizza and the kids LOVED the fancy pick your own drink machine. FUN

Then Shannon and Benji and I got to ride the Manticore – I LOVED THIS SWING!

Tiago was a trooper on day 2 – 6 weeks old already!

Packer got a free pizza certificate! One of the workers saw him helping Raymond and thought it was very nice. We loved it because Packer is not ‘typically’ our biggest helper but he sure responded to the recognition and went out of his way to be a good helper after that 🙂

And to end the night – we FINALLY got to ride HADES 360. Ben and Benji went and then Ben wrestled all 7 kids while Shannon and I stood in the 45 minute line so we could ride. It was worth it. AWESOME coaster. Fast. Crazy. Underground. Cork Screw. If the lines were shorter then Mt. Olympus Roller Coasters could be the BEST.

The park closed at 10 and we came home to sleep and end our vacation 🙁 BUT the kids were so happy when they saw that their beds had been made while they were out partying all day – the simple things 🙂
