We Came, We Saw, We Conquered...

...and now we are thoroughly exhausted.  We woke up at about 7am to shower, eat breakfast, and get to the park gates by 9:30am.

We started off our day on the big coasters.  We rode Apocalypse and Ninja, and then I was DONE!  I'm not a big fan of the coasters, but the kids kept riding.  They headed to the new coaster X2, which was crazy scary.  I couldn't believe my little Tatum rode that thing!

Justin said that Tatum was on the ride saying, "This is TOO extreme!" the whole time.  But she got off and was ready to go on the next one!

They rode Goliath...

And Viper...

And Colossus...

And Scream...

And my personal favorite, The Gold Rusher.  I was not a thrill-seeker, so I liked the rides that didn't turn my insides out.  We broke for lunch, and started all over again.  The girls and I split off from the adrenaline junkie boys and went off to ride Jet Stream.

Jet Stream is one of the few rides I remember riding with my family when I came here before I was married.  The girls rode this ride over and over, partly because it was a water ride and a cool break from the heat, and partly because the line was so short.  The boys headed over to this insane ride...

It was a 90 minute wait, but I hear it was worth every minute. Those boys talked about this ride for the rest of the day.  They did several other coasters as well, but this one was the hands-down favorite.

And what would the day be without some $7 cotton candy?  By the end of the day, these kids were wiped out.  We stayed until the park closed at 8pm, and I think we did just about everything there was to do.  We considered it a successful day, so we went back to the hotel, ate some dinner, and the kids are all chillin' out in their pj's.  When we get home, we are each going to write up a blog post of our favorite rides, so watch for those.

We head home tomorrow.  We're all kinda of sad this little adventure is coming to an end.  It's been a lot of fun, though.  Can't wait to see what tomorrow brings!
