Pumpkin Time!!

We finally got around to carving our pumpkins on Saturday. I actually had Saturday off so we decided to take the kids and do something special. We carved pumpkins and then we bought discount tickets at Safeway to Fright Fest at Wild Waves theme park. It was pretty fun for the kids as they don't ever remember going to Disneyland and riding the rides there (and of course Brandon wasn't even born yet). We painted the boys faces and got there a few minutes after opening at 6 p.m.

First off Mike, Dallas and Cody went on The Wild Thing roller coaster which had a 360 degree loop-we watched and waited while they stood in line but it was hilarious when they were finally on the ride. I could see Codys head looking down at the ground while going through the loop:) I couldn't help but laugh. After that we headed over to the childrens village where there were lots of rides that all the boys could go on together and the waiting times were only a few minutes. Dallas and Cody went on a lot of the rides together when a partner was involved and they really enjoyed the teacups and the kangaroo bounce. Brandon and Elijah went on a roller coaster which was actually pretty fun -I got to ride it also. Lots of fun little rides. We are glad we were able to take the boys and have some fun making memories like this. We stayed until closing at 11:00 p.m. and got home shortly after midnight. The boys were pooped! The next day I was a little sore from being thrown around so much. I'm just not young like I used to be:( Mike even commented on how even the roller coaster made him a little nauseated. It will be fun to take the kids to a park like Knotts Berry Farms or Six Flags when they are older and tall enough to ride all the rides!
