Roller Coaster Fun

This summer we decided to get season passes to a local theme park. Wild Waves is half roller coaster and half water rides. We've been wanting to go for several years now and decided this was a perfect summer to take advantage.

With the season passes each month we get emailed several coupons to use. This month we got to bring a friend for $5. On opening day we decided to let Megan bring a friend. She brought our neighbor Natalie. Only the roller coaster section was open since it isn't really hot enough for the water park. We thought this was perfect for us to explore and get to know the park a bit.

The kids loved it and were all really good. It was a little weird having to divide our time between kids. Andrew is still not tall enough for the bigger rides and he doesn't much like them anyway. Megan is tall enough for most everything and is a huge thrill seeker.

Jeff was Andrew's partner for most of the rides that he needed to be accompanied by an adult. He tried to get me to go but I was having too much fun taking pictures so Jeff was on duty.
We tried to make sure both kids got their share of rides and had a great time. We sometimes would divide and conquer. Jeff or MarGene would take the girls while Jeff and I took Andrew to something more his style.

We had a blast and look forward to the end of the month when the water section opens up. We checked out what they had and it all looks like tons of fun. We plan to have a fun summer.
