Thanksgiving weekend

Posted in Holidays

We enjoyed a great Thanksgiving weekend.  It began with dinner at a church family's house.  This was a special treat for us because we are usually with family for the holiday.  We enjoyed lots of yummy food, some of which Pudding helped to put together
along with Daddy   We also enjoyed some fun games which caused us to be up really late.

We went camping on Friday with a little of a later start than desired.  We decided to eat a big lunch early and then snack for dinner.  We told the girls we were going shopping since our campground was right down the road from the outlet mall.  Instead we pulled into the parking lot for Wild Adventures. The girls were speechless.   They were double excited after I explained that it was an early Christmas present of year passes. 

We had a ball and Pudding was a hoot.  She wasn't fazed by a single ride we put her on, including the Pharoah's Fury (big ship that swings back and forth really high)  She was in the middle section with Dh and I.  Her giggles on the small roller coasters were just precious.  By Saturday afternoon, she had learned the names of some of the rides and was asking to ride them.  The older girls were very sweet in that they wanted to make sure she was able to ride lots.  That is one of the things I love about Wild Adventures - they have lots of rides for little ones (around 36" tall) and they are spaced through out the park so it makes it easy to ride the bigger rides.

Twin 1 and Twin 2 rode the Boomerang which is an upside down roller coaster that also goes backward and Longlegged girl rode the Hangman which is an upside down roller coaster where your feet hang down.  That will be nice to have some company on those rides when it is just the girls and I going.  Eldestof5 is not interested at all!  She did give the Cheetah (wooden roller coaster) a try but had a headache the rest of the day due to it.

We headed home Sunday after doing some shopping at the outlet mall that was near our campground.  It was a great weekend!

Sounds like everyone had great fun. I'm with Eldest, though. I'll keep my feet on the ground with her while the others do the coasters! How fun to have season passes. You'll love them.
