Wild Adventures











It was Homeschool Day at Wild Adventures on Saturday so we decided to take advantage of it! The kids, of course, were very excited! We had not been in 3 years. Since Boop was EG's age. I was a little nervous about the whole prospect. Wanted to make sure I had everything I needed. Didn't want to lose any kids (ended up loosing daddy.) Wanted to make sure everyone had a good time (including daddy.) I could spend a good deal of time writing about the whole venture but I just don't have time today.

The following are some of the highlights:

Nature Girl loves roller coasters.

Daddy had his share of riding because he had to take turns with all three kids. Not everyone could go on the same ride and some had to ride with an adult. Presented some logistical dilemmas but nothing we couldn't work out.

EG got to ride on the Merry-Go-Round with Boop and NG while daddy took Little Mama on her ride. I plopped her down on a horse next to Boop and held on to both. EG grabbed a hold of the horse, never let go and had a BIG time.

Got to see lots of real live exotic animals while riding on the train.

The day was hot but breezy.

Ran into a family that Paul and I have known for close to 20 years and hadn't seen in a really, really long time. Our kids and theirs got along famously.

Saw a bunch of other homeschool families that we knew.

Took advantage, just a little bit, of our family friend's older teenage son.

Found out Little Mama is afraid of heights.

Decided next time we go, do the water park first then the rides. The exact opposite of the way everyone else is doing things.

I spent the whole day at the park and road one ride. The Merry-Go-Round.

The kids can't wait to go back . . .
