Wild Adventures

Yesterday we took a trip to Wild Adventures. The plan was to leave after church and go up to ride some rides and see the lights. We had heard it was pretty cool during Christmas time. We didn't tell the kids until Friday and they were soooo excited. They love it there. When they finally saw the big American Flag over the park, we practically had to peal them off of the car roof!

We went with two other families. Ten kids under 8 and six adults. Near as I can tell, everyone, including the adults had a great time. This was the first time I was willing to ride some of the rides. We had plenty of willing hands to watch the kids who could not go on the rides.

We bounced back and forth between the kiddie park and the little bit bigger rides. I think everyone got to do what they wanted to do, at least once!

Nature Girl, Little Mama and Boop love the roller coasters. Thankfully so does Daddy. I rode two of the rides and actually enjoyed them. But, for the most part, EG and I hung together. Daddy did take her on the Merry-Go-Round. She did pretty good considering she was in the car for about an hour and a half then had to stay in her stroller for the most part.

We had dinner there and rode some more rides.

It was COLD. We had layers and layers on. Hats, mittens, gloves and I had a scarf. Of course the kids didn't really seem to mind. Although when we got back in the car they were glad to be warm.

We headed home around 7:30. The kids were silent and exhausted!

Little do they know that one of their presents for Christmas is annual passes to the park . . .
