A Wild Day

Preface:  This took me almost all week to finish...
Oh happy day for the kiddos!  Wild Waves is open and they pretty much had the park to themselves on Sunday.  The weather was supposed to be crummy so the people stayed away and we have season passes so we went with no pressure to stay all day.  However we got lucky and out came the sun and the smiles.  Jerry and I hardly rode any rides and instead enjoyed watching the kids ride almost everything in the park, several times.  One of the rides I did ride was the Timberhawk, one of their roller-coasters.  I sat behind Saxton and Brayden.  Poor Sage is not a fan of roller-coasters or anything where her stomach really drops.  Instead she likes the whirly-make-you-sick-to-your-stomach rides.  Go figure.  Anyway, they loved it!  Brayden is only 46 1/2 inches, 47 1/2 with his shoes on so just short of the 48 inch mark, but some rides let him on anyway.  One ride said they count hair and they told us if we spiked his hair then he could ride.  So after a little sunblock spike action on he went.  And went and they ended up going five times in a row, I got off after three, my old lady stomach can't hack the abuse like it used to. 


Saxton was the teacher and Brayden was the student.  They rode everything they could.  Saxton even rode the Tomahawk by herself because they didn't let Brayden on.  Last year Saxton was the one who was just 48 inches by the hair of her head and she has no fear!  She'll ride ANYTHING!  With her hands up and smiling the whole way.  What a woman.  Well this year she has a co-pilot in Brayden and all that is going to stop him is the evil measuring pole.  Sage had fun as well.  She likes to watch them ride and found out that she gets the biggest helpings of cotton candy while they are taking their turn on the rides. 

Notice the people behind the kiddos. :)


Little Max just hung out, fell asleep on dad and then slept in his stroller for two hours.  When he woke up he enjoyed watching his older siblings fly around.  He did get to go on his first ride, a 100 plus year old Carousel.  He smiled the whole time.
