We had to stick around and let the kids ride the train a second time so they could get a turn to sit in the front. We were in the front of the line the first time, but a boy- probably about 6 years old- pushed the kids out of the way, hitting Connor in the eye, to get to the front of the line. All this while his parents sat on a bench behind us oblivious to what was going on and not saying a word. I could have beat the kid, but instead told him (loud enough for his parents to hear- which I'm sure they did, but still said nothing to him) how rude and mean it was to push kids smaller than he is who were in line first, blah, blah, blah. He then proceeded to push them back and run to the front so he could sit there. Drew went over while the ride was going and told the parents what happened (in a nice way) and just said that he's sure we'll be seeing each other in the park throughout the day and that it wouldn't happen again. :) I hate kids and even more so, parents like that! Kids will be kids, but parents need to be paying attention to their kids and watching what they're doing.
Here are Connor & Ethan in the engine putting their hands out to hit Drew's hand as they went by.
We were finally able to ride the Rhino Rally. The kids haven't been tall enough to get on and this time JUST made it. This rhino was right in the middle of the road and wouldn't move. The driver bumped his bum with the jeep. He quick jumped around and was not happy- we thought he was going to ram the jeep!
Sherilyn and I decided to ride the Sheikra since the hubbies were with us and could stay with the kids. It's been a LONG time since I've been on a roller coaster, but used to love them! This ride was scary! That was the biggest drop I've ever been on on a roller coaster- and it seemed like you were falling forever! If you could see our faces up close, you would see Sherilyn sitting there all smiling and me screaming my head off thinking I'm going to die! :)
And a typical end to our day. Drew doesn't like bringing the stroller, but the boys get tired and by the end of the day are fussing, whining, complaining that their legs hurt and begging to be picked up. So, guess who gets to carry them. :)

I love the reoccurring themes of the boys: reading maps, adorable expressions and daddy carrying both at the end of the day. Predictability is nice like that! Glad you got out and enjoyed the "coolness". Hope we get some of the same this weekend.
I cannot tell you how much they love maps- everytime we go, they each have to have their own maps, then they come back to the car with us and they ask for them EVERY time we get in the car!
And Drew knows to not even ask me to carry one of them- I will sometimes, but they are SO heavy now, and since he is the one who does not want to bring the stroller, he gets the honor of carrying them when they are done with walking. :)
I'm LOVING the weather right now. I can actually walk from the house to the car without sweating to death! So nice!
