We spent the day at Elitch Gardens which is a local amusement park. We had a blast! Yes, Kimmee did go, but she was hiding in this picture. She's behind Jade in the wagon!
I joined the older kids with riding a few rides before we hit the water park. We rode 3 rides that require you to be 48" or taller, but here's the thing. Kaleb is only 47" tall. So we stuff his shoes with socks so he can make the cutoff. He went 3 for 3 in the extreme rides. Yea! Here were are on the swings -- very extreme :-)
We did get to do the Tower of Doom, which is an exiting free fall drop ride. Of course we had a blast!
Mom and Kim went to the water park. We joined up with them after riding our 3 rides and had a blast in the sun! Kim's enjoying one of many Slurpee drinks that we bought on that hot summer day.
A rare shot of Kim and Kaleb. How sweet!
We all had fun that day, but boy did it get hot! Nearly 100-degrees. Good times!
We were barely out of the park when the kids crashed hard. It was all good!
Kaleb and I had some fun playing with the sparklers at night.
I used the delay shutter speed option to capture his sparkler in motion. Very cool!
Oh yeah! Jade, Kaleb, and I did the death drop swing ride at Elitches. It cost $40, but was well worth the scream!
We joined up with some friends for the Rockies game that night. Awesome game! The Rocks won 18-17. Unbeleiveable! We got to see a grand slam -- an the Rockies never led the game until the bottom of the 9th inning.
Of course the main reason we went to this game was to enjoy the fireworks show. These shots were taken with my camera phone.
Now we're done with b-days for the year and ready to enjoy the rest of the summer.
ciao~ Look for my post from New Orleans!
