In an effort to send Summer '15 off with a bang, we took some family time the week before Colin started back to school -second grade!
The boys had passes to Valley Fair for the 3rd year and we went as a foursome on one of the bring a friend days. All Sydney could talk about was seeing Snoopy and giving him a hug and kiss. We spent the morning on rides (mostly Syd friendly, the boys did do a coaster). The afternoon was spent at the water park - really the wave pool and Colin's favorite.
At the wave pool, Colin was off like a shot without a life jacket. This was new to me, but Bill said he's been doing that all summer. It totally freaked me out how he'd just drive through bodies and inner tubes to crash into the waves. By the end of the day, Sydney figured out how to hang on in the inner tube and flipped out a few times. She was impressed with her herself that she didn't get upset.
When Sydney finally met Snoopy, she didn't want anything to do with him! She finally waved at him, but that was it. So she hugged the Snoopy statue instead.
