I realized, just recently, that I never put together a post from our Adventureland trip from the summer. I know that I'm going to want these pictures and memories included in our 2012 blog book, so thought I'd better get a post together since this is one of the highlights of our summer vacation.
The kids absolutely love everything about their day at the Adventureland Park. This is one of the most highlighted adventures in our summer vacation each summer and this summer was even better than last. My mom also loves to come with us to Adventureland, so we were lucky enough to have her join us again this summer. We went to Adventureland on July 15, which was the day after we did the Warrior Dash, so my mom was already here to watch the boys while we were gone doing the dash. It was a busy weekend, to say the least!
When at Adventureland, I love watching the excitement on the boys' faces on each ride, seeing the wonder in their eyes when wondering which ride is going to be next, and hearing the squeels and giggles of excitement when their tummies "drop" on a ride. This is a great day that we all love! With the amusement park rides, waterpark rides, fun, nice weather, and good company, it's an all around great day!
The first stop: The Frog Hopper. This was Brady's first year to enjoy the Frog Hopper! This has been Tyler's favorite ride for the past 2 years, so I was very excited to see how Brady would react to it. Well, Brady loved it and Tyler ended up being too scared to get on it! This was a complete shock! So, Brady and Grandma rode the Frog Hopper while Tyler watched. We decided we would try again later...
Next stop...Motorcycles.
Don't they look bad!
I love the Log Ride! I also love that we can all ride it together. And yes, Brady and I got soaked, while Lee and Tyler hardly got a splash!
They also love driving these semi-trucks. Here's Brady and his cool dude shades.
And Tyler in his semi-truck.
AND they love the airplane ride!
Pure excitement and...
....pure joy!
And the ladybug roller coaster ride.
Back at the Frog Hopper. Tyler decided he wanted to give it a try since his little brother showed him up earlier. And he, once again, loved it! They have the best time on this ride. The sound of their giggles and squeels is priceless! I love standing and watching them on this ride--it makes me so happy to see them so happy!
And on to the waterpark. They had built on to the waterpark since last summer, which was a good thing. I love the splash park area and the boys do as well.
They think it's so much fun to push these buttons and see where the water's going to come out.
Lazy River.
Wave Pool.
After the waterpark, we did a couple more rides. You can tell by the looks on their faces, that it's already been a very fun, tiring day! But, they still wanted to keep on going. It's hard to say 'no' at Adventureland!
And one last ride on the "favorite", the Frog Hopper. For the day, Brady's #3 ride and Tyler's #2.

We decided to do an Old Time Photo at the end of the day. We let the boys choose which "theme" they wanted and they chose the gangster theme, so that's what they got. They turned out great!
Another very successful trip to Adventureland over the summer.
...Until next year!
