This was Elese's first ride ever and she had a great time helping Max make the helicopter go up and down.

She didn't like the planes as much as the helicopter as you can see here. That's her in the left of the photo screaming. Max however seemed to love all of the rides especially the ones we could go on with him.

That's Max's had trying to wave to me as he and Steven flew by on Puff.

This is Max pretending that he is not having a good time. It's pretty sad that at the age of four he already thinks he's too cool for the kid rides.
I guess you could say that I forced them to go on the whale ride...it was my favorite growing up and I was devastated when I became too tall for it. Elese, however, did not seem to love it as much as I did.




They both LOVED the water!

Finally Elese was Happy! And....

TIRED! Steven watched Max and I on the scrambler (he wasn't feeling so hot after the tilt-a-whirl and neither was Elese) and when we got off the ride this is what we found. With all the painting Elese had been evicted from her room a few days before this which meant that she had to take naps at Grandma's or in the front room. She usually has two different naps that add up to 4-7 hours a day and sleeps 12 hours at night. That week her naps averaged 1 hour a day and her night sleep was about 9 hours. I wonder if she would have enjoyed the rides more if she hadn't been so tired.
Max seemed to have so much fun! He and Steven took the sky ride to the other side of the park and he told Steven all about how much fun he was having. I LOVED going on the Tidal Wave with Max and Steven. Max just laughed and screamed with me. He was so well behaved, we were all very proud of him.
After Elese fell asleep we got some dinner and dropped Grandma and the kids off at Uncle Kirk's (Thanks!) while Steven and I headed back to go on the big rides. We tried Wicked for the first time and it was CRAZY! We really had no idea what was going to happen...even after the ride we weren't really sure what happened. It was a very fun ride! As for Cliffhanger...basically you get hung upside down and have water sprayed in your face. The last time we were hanging upside down I said to Steven "This is NOT my favorite ride! Never again!" I HATE having water in my face. I keep a towel close to me in the shower so if one drop gets on my face I can wipe it off...there was no arm room so I couldn't reach my face to wipe off the water. It was my worst nightmare come true. Aside from the Cliffhanger it was a very fun day!
