FINALLY!!!

...HERE'S THE LONG AWAITED POST!!!

On Tuesday, June 23, we packed up the coolers, sunscreen, hats and the kids and put them in the van! Nobody, other than Bryan and I, knew where we were heading.

Samantha was dropped off for a fun day at Uncle Steve and Aunt Melanie's. Also waiting there were two eager babysitters, Hillary and Meaghan! :) We knew she would have a lot more fun there, than sitting in a hot stroller all day! As expected, she was well behaved and had a great time! (She told us all about it! :) ) Thanks for the pictures Aunt Melanie!




After we left Samantha, the kids were urging us to tell them where we were going. They thought they figured it out at one point....we were going for a picnic, hoping that there would at least be a playground to play on.

After some fun (for Bryan and I), Bryan whistled the tune that is played on the TV commercials for M*arineLand. They suddenly figured it out and were a little excited!!!

This is a very long post, because I had a hard time selecting pictures. These hardly even made a dent in them, but will help us recall the fun!

This is the first ride we went on. This was a test to see how the kids would do on the rides. They all loved it. Breanna and Zachary went with Bryan, and Cassandra with me. Bryan and I admitted after, that it gave US a queezy stomach. The kids loved it!


Mommy and Breanna went on this ride. Zachary wasn't too sure about it (at this point in the day)
Waiting patiently in line for the L*adybug R*ollercoaster.

Cassandra's first rollercoaster ride....and.....SHE LOVED IT!! All the kids did!

The small Sky S*creamer as Breanna referred to it all day. She and Bryan attempted this one first. This was one of Breanna's favourites of the day.

While stopping to look at the dolphins, the dolphins kept swimming to that spot, holding still and looking back at the kids. The kids thought that was pretty neat.




Waiting for the whale show. Breanna wanted to stand in the spot where you get SPLASHED by the whale. Zachary didn't, and ended moving off to the side with me.


I loved watching the kids reactions when they were watching the dolphins perform!



Some more rides...




Breanna and Zachary were on it too...you just can't see them!!

Having ice cream to keep them occupied while Mommy and Papa took turns going on the rollercoaster.


The S*ky Screamer. Not only is this thing high up....it's situated on a hill to make you feel like it's even higher. The only downfall of this ride is the walk up to the top of the hill. But as you will see in the next picture, the kid's found a way to make it up there!



Zachary decided that he was ready to try some more of the rides. He LOVED it!


The boat ride...




By the end of the day...it wasn't very busy. That meant no lineups and some rides we had to ourselves. All of us went on this ride, but there was no one to take pictures!!




The ride home....



We had a great time and were thrilled that the kids loved the shows and rides so much! So we paid a little extra and got a season's pass...so perhaps you'll see some more pictures soon! :)

Glad you had a great day (both times!!!).
Glad to hear that Samantha was happy about her day also! :) We had an ice-cream truck come through our neighbourhood that day so we went out to meet it (too bad she was too small to enjoy some!) and it was funny to see the neighbour's curious looks!
