"I wanna ride it AGAIN!"

Finally, the day to ride the roller coaster came yesterday.  I took 177 pictures before the sun set.  And I felt like I didn't take very many!  Anna had a BLAST.  There were lots of things she wanted to ride so badly, but was too short.  Some things she will have to wait a good three years before she can ride them legally.  She ate all her green beans today at lunch because I told her it would make her taller so she could get on the bigger rides.  (not as a bribe, just normal conversation.)  She shoveled them in and said with a full mouth and hands in the air, "Mommy, I'm BIGGER!  Can I go ride more now?"  Aunt Jenni saved the day once again and held Grey almost the entire time we were there...almost 4 hours.  CRAZY woman.  But Grey sure was happy.  He finally fell asleep on her shoulder at about 8:30pm.  Both Jen and Grey were covered in drool.  Sorry Jen.  Daddy went off with the cousins once in a while to ride with them, then came back to ride with Anna.  The weather was SO nice...mid-70s and sunny.  Felt like football season.  :)  We even put on Anna's hoodie when the sun went down.  I did get to ride a couple of rides.  Well, I rode the the little roller coaster (that was surprisingly pretty fast and fun...and loud) several times with Anna.  And I road the big "Dare Devil's Drop."  Which is like a free fall thing.  Super fun.  Anna rode that little roller coaster about 8  times.
