One Last Hurrah

Well, summer is (FIN-A-Lee!) over. This weekend we decided to go to Michigan Adventure, something we've been meaning to do for awhile.

We had a FANTASTIC time. I am sooooo glad we went. What a great way to end twelve weeks of summer fun. It was a smallish theme park, think Lake Compounce if you live in CT. Just big enough to comfortably do in one day. Rides for everyone. Max was tall enough to get on anything, and even Ethan crossed the 42" marker and could ride a lot. The park was clean, relatively uncrowded, and user friendly. What more could ya ask for?!

Sadly my camera is still caputz. This is the ONE picture we have from our adventure. But we made memories and that's important too. Along with the ride rides there was also a water park with a lazy river (my personal favorite and ethan's too), a huge wave pool, and numerous slides of different heights. Also there was a family style "rapids" ride where you sit in a round tube like boat (with shoes on... think BIG) and Ethan and I got SOAKED. But it was all good, we had our bathing suits and flip flops on by then.

Favorites were.... me - the flume, ethan - roller coaster, max - HUGE roller coaster, abbie - tubes that lead to the lazy river, jeff - the giant splash down boats (ethan couldn't get onto that one).

A happy ending to a great summer.

Good luck to all on their first day of school!!!!! :)

I see where Abbie gets her love of the camera. Yet she is only an amateur. While Abbie cannot identify and pose for the camera at high speed looking certain death in the eye, Jenny can. A true photo professional.
