Quick Getaway!

So last weekend we had a quick little getaway to Adventureland! This was our kids first amusement park experience & they both enjoyed themselves! Carmen was disappointed that she was a hair too small to ride the roller coaster with us & Cordell complained that I

was a weinie because I wouldn't go on the ride that shoots you up 5 bazillion feet in the air at like 200mph. Um...no thanks I'd rather keep my lunch in my stomache!

But my 7 year old did talk me into going on a roller coaster with him. He had been begging to go on one all day & had finally decided that if I wasn't going to go with him, he was going to go alone. What, I don't think so, my baby wasn't going to go on that thing all by himself, so I worked up the courage to go with him. We both rode our first roller coaster together, not once but twice!

Carmen's favorite ride was the log ride, at one point there wasn't a line so we went down 3 times in a row. We had to purchase this pic of our first time down, Cordell's eyes were closed, Carmen doesn't know what to think and I'm sure if I didn't have my sunglasses on you would see that my eyes were probably closed as well!





















Jake started feeling sick after the balloon ride, but my super-trooper husband kept on treking with us until we closed the park down. So unfortunately we came straight home Sunday and didn't make our planned stop at Living History Farms, maybe next time. We did have a chance to play in the swimming pool at the hotel both Sat night & Sun morning. The kids are already talking about going to Worlds of fun next year. I vote we take my dad and brothers with so Bubba has someone to ride the Wild rides with!
