Six Flags Great America
We had SO much fun at Six Flags on Saturday!!!
The kids had no clue where we were going, I just told them we were going somewhere special. I thought for sure they would see the coasters and especially the huge spiders on the side of the Eagle coaster as we passed right by them, but they were too interested in the movie and what they were doing in the car to notice the "scenery." When we turned into the parking lot and they saw where we were - I thought our windows could break from the high pitched screaming! :) Excited is an understatement!
The whole park was redone for Halloween, so we passed lots of fun scenery...
Olivia has tried to go on these swings every time we've gone to Great America, but she's always been too short. Today was her day! She was about a milimeter tall enough! And was she thrilled!
We saw some characters who were dressed up for Halloween themselves, gotta love Porky as a lion! :)
This was one of the few times Liam was actually out of the wagon. He didn't want to ride anything! He rode the little train and that was it. But he did love the Wiggles show and loved playing on Captain Feathersword's play ship!
He still had lots of fun though!
My favorite part of the day was being able to reconnect with two great friends. They (husband and wife) were Young Life leaders with me in Bloomingon/Normal, IL, about 9 years ago. We remained friends and in touch for quite a while, but then kids came along and we haven't heard from each other much in the last couple years.

Braeden is trying so hard to be "dead" here. :)

They live not far from Great America and have a season pass so we agreed to meet up. Their son is about a month older than Liam, and their daughter who is 18 months I've never even met. The kids didn't come along, but we were able to go to her parents after the park to see them. ADORABLE! :)
We all had a wonderful day! But boy am I tired! :)

You are always doing cool things with your kiddos. You make me feel like an underachiever! I'm going to have to step it up a notch to keep up with the Jones.
