Fiesta Texas

Thanks to my Mom and Chuck, we received season passes to Fiesta Texas this year! What an awesome gift. It truly will make our summer great! There was one week left in the season for 2010 so we made sure we took full advantage of it. The tickets also came with a complementary ticket for each pass. We had four extra tickets for FREE admission. Aaron did not get a season pass because he just wouldn't use it that much. He wouldn't like to go a bazillion times and he is really busy with work so, he wouldn't have time anyway. We used one of the tickets for Aaron, then Ian, and Mikey and Mikayla. It was great having most of my nephews and niece with us!! Nana (Aaron's mom) already had a pass so, she came along too.

It was super crowded. During this time of year they only have 4 big rides open. Two of those broke down in the beginning of the day so you had hundreds of people in lines for the remaining large rides and there are plenty of small rides for Georgia and Mikayla.

I LOVE roller coasters. JD is like a kid in a candy store. He really has a hard time focusing on anything else. (this is why these passes are truly awesome!) Derek has done this a hundred times. He loves it but he loves the freedom of taking off with his friends. Georgia was excited but not big enough to do the big stuff. The one ride she is big and brave enough to do broke. Oh, well maybe next time. Ian was courageous and rode all the big rides we did. Mikey was brave too!! Mikey was terrified of some of the rides. Aaron was determined that he would at least ride them all once. It was a true test of what he was more afraid of...lol. Aaron or the roller coasters. After he rode each ride he loved it! I guess Aaron really knew what he was talking about:) Mikayla is like Georgia, she is not big enough yet for the big rides but they had plenty of fun on the smaller ones. Nana rode everything!!! Some of her favorites were close:( Aaron loves all the rides too!- with the exception of a boat that just swings back and forth. My favorite is the Scream. It shoots you straight up in the air. It holds you up there for a few seconds, long enough to see the city, identify the highways, and see the whole park-then it drops you so fast you feel like your insides could come out. Aaron told me to keep my eyes open the whole time! That was FREAKY!!! Ahh!

Even though the lines were long a good time was had by all. We got to spend time with all the kids and Nana. Definitely a day to remember. AND a tiny peek of the fun we will have this summer.

Thanks Mom and Chuck! Thank you God for keeping us safe.:)
