An annual event for the last few years has been to take Rayna to the North Pole -this year we decided the 2 boys were old enough to go too! And after spending a few hours there, I was sure glad that we had 1 adult for each child! I'm not sure who was more tired, the adults or the kids!
Glenn and I met Jaime, Rayna, Kylan, Jessi, Evan and Mackenzie Saturday morning at Cascade right at opening time!! Of course, I had told the girls to dress the kids in jeans as it's usually pretty chilly there (high elevation and lots of shade!) Luckily, they didn't listen to their mother as it turned out to be one of the hottest days of the year!!
Rayna was an old pro on most of the rides since she remembers them year after year! Her favorite is the ferris wheel! And little Mackenzie just enjoyed being strolled in the stroller and getting to ride a couple of things!
The boys enjoyed most of the rides although Kylan got a little scared on a couple of them! But you really wouldn't have known they were having a good time by the looks on their faces when they were riding the rides!! Solemn faces - hardly a smile!! But yet they couldn't wait to get on the next one!
Of course we didn't last the whole day - I think 3 1/2 hours did it for us and that included the picnic lunch we brought! Tired and sunburned, we all couldn't wait to get back to our place and collapse with a peach fizzie in hand! It was truly a fun day and we'll be looking forward to next year!
