Phew! I am so exhausted from yesterday I am almost physically ill today (sorry Alex!!). Why so tired? With the help of Grandpa & Grandma Groth (thank you, thank you, thank you!), Curtis & I took the boys to Adventureland yesterday afternoon. We had a great time!

What was Trystin's favorite ride? Well, pretty much everything, but he says it was the Dragon (for those unfamiliar with Advetureland, that's the roller coaster that goes upside down). Curtis got some really entertaining pictures of him in the Fun House Mirrors on the way out the exit doors. He got to go on the Silly Silo and the Space Shot multiple times. And he even convinced Curtis to help him win a few stuff animals in the game areas.

Curtis thought we should all brave the rapids, so Trystin, Curtis, & I all waited in line about 30 minutes for the Raging River. Was the wait worth it? Nope. Trystin & I got soaked (yes, I know that's the point), but only got hit with water once. Our little raft got stuck in the river at one point. And the waterfall near the end is no longer active.

Jack was a little leary of all the rides at first. He was so scared on the Tea Cups that he just clung to me for dear life. But by the end of the day, he understood what to do and could ride the toddler rides all by himself! Such a big boy. And so tired! Several times we almost got him to take a nap there, but he would never fully give in to sleep.


What did Max think of his first trip to Adventureland? He must have thought it was "dreamy" because he slept almost the entire afternoon!
