We found out that Gilroy Gardens is letting active duty military in for free, and the rest of the family half off. We decided to take advantage of the discount, and the fact we both had the day off to go. It's an interesting place, basically a amusement park designed for children. The weather was nice, and there was no crowd which was even better. The kids got to ride on merry-go-rounds, a ferris wheel, and they even went on their first real roller coaster. Im not sure that was the best idea for the day. I didnt think it would be scarey considering everything was designed for kids! Lucy was barely tall enough to ride. But we did it, we rode in the front cart of the coaster. It was good for the first thirty seconds. Then we went over the first peak and they speed picked up pretty good. I turned around to see how Lucy was and she freaked me out. She was complerely purple.....like she was having a heart attack. Kya was loving it, although Lucy was just screaming she couldnt breathe. I think she could breathe, although she might have that wind taken out her feeling. Either that or she really did have a heart attack. We survived.....although she was a mess after we got off. I felt so bad. But then we went on some other kiddie rides, and I think she forgave me and had a good time. We didnt stay too long, because we ran out of money pretty fast. The drinks were 3.50....yikes.
This weekend for the 4th we are going to Lake Tahoe for one of the best fire work shows west of the mississippi (thats what they say)

That sounds like fun. I could have told you about that roller coaster. It is a big ride, even for me. Did you guys go and feed the birds? The kids really liked that part of the park.
humm didnt know there were any birds. Different seasons they have different things going on. There wasnt any butterflies either. We only went because it was cheap and one of Jeremy's classmates said it was fun
How fun! We do Lagoon here- which has a variety of rides for various ages. One we sent the kids on once when they were quite young was not to Miss M's liking. I have this picture of her trying to get off while it was still in motion. Kind of scary. Oddly enough, she is now our brave one and did more rides than her older brother last year. We are going again this month with Damon's work, and I am wondering if Captain will brave up to some of the bigger this time.
