Poor Evyn had waited all summer for us to get around to taking her there (after we failed to get there last summer). With the amusement park in our proverbial back yard, and Evyn still (barely) in the target age-range for the rides, I was determined to get there before summer ended..... even if that meant taking them by myself! And, if you've met Andrew in person, you know how tired I was at the end of that day. But it was worth it - the weather was perfect, and we had a great time.

| one VERY tired boy- and our day wasn't even half over yet! |
I wish I had pictures from the BIG water slides that we all went down together. We even did the "black" slide - a tall (multi-story) slide you ride in complete darkness- wheee!

The Sky Ride is a one-way trip, and after taking it across the park, Evyn wanted to ride it back to the other side. I was NOT taking Andrew back on that one- the first time, he kept scooching up to the end of the seat and making me nervous. When she asked if she could ride it solo, I initially said 'no,' but eventually agreed (I've been making an effort to give her a bit longer leash this summer). So, after she boarded her car, Andrew and I took a brisk walk to the other side to meet her as she disembarked. She was so proud to ride alone!
By the time we decided to call it a day, it was hours past Andrew's usual naptime, and he was out before we made it back to our car.....

first - i cannot believe you did the skyride solo with the kids!! i would not have even attempted that with david along for the ride! way to go!
second - i LOVE evyn's swim suit! where'd you find it?! not that we'll be needing swim suits anytime soon here in co where fall is already in full swing!
the sky ride was pretty easy with just 2 tagalongs... but i was pretty proud of myself for doing the water slide twice! as my mother says - "andrew never stops, does he?!"
will email you about the suit :)
