Roller Coasters here we come!

To celebrate the boys' dedication to pursuing Memory Master, and recognizing their hard work and diligence, we headed out for a day of celebration. The boys were so excited as it has been several years since they were in an amusement park, and Bob and I were secretly hoping we could get Lukas and Noah to ride roller coasters with us this time.
We aimed to be at the park as it opened, which meant an early morning get away, but the incentive of a full day of rides made sleepy heads rise and shine without whine. It turned out to be a perfect day to be at the park, barely anyone else there which meant no lines, we even left rides that had just begun as we walked up, not wanting to stand and wait 'that long' for it to come to a stop and us to join in. The weather was great, warm and sunny but not too hot, although expired sun screen does no good in protecting pale skins - this we found out the hard or should I say the burnt way later on. When the sun got the better of our used to cool weather bodies, we hopped on a water ride and got really wet which cooled us down quickly.
Although we started off the day with two boys not too sure of their desires to ride roller coasters, our last ride as the park closed was one more turn on the large wooden roller coaster - we are now officially a family of roller coaster aficionados!!! Some of us are already plotting the next park visit....
