Vacation, Well It Was More Like A Trip

So we took our first Family Vacation at the end of June.

We had a lot of fun!!!

First we went to Six Flags Great America to ride some of the rides. We were really going more for the kids than us. We had already been there about 4 times already.

Yes, we have season passes!!

Anyway, we wanted to see how the kids would do on some of the rides and we knew that Brooklynn was tall enough for some of the roller coasters. She knew what roller coaster were because I play Rollercoaster Tycoon all the time. So she was really excited to go and ride something that she had never ridden before.

So anyway the first thing that we decided to ride was the Sky Trek Tower right in the front of the park. It is really tame but really tall and we thought that would be a good place to start.

We are getting ready to go up in air!!

Brooklynn and Emmerson both loved the view from way up there. Brooklynn kept saying "We are up really high!!"

So after that we went and rode the Carousel.

But Emmerson didn't like that the Carousel started moving. He was fine while it was sitting still but once it started moving he was all done.

Then came the fun part! The moment we all had been waiting for... Will Brooklynn like roller coasters or not?!

This was actually the 2nd rollercoaster she rode. The Little Dipper.

This was her first! She rode this one with Mommy. I couldn't see them to take a picture. 

And the result.....

She LOVED THEM!!!!

She kept wanting to ride again, but the lines were really long.

We had a lot of fun!!

Then the next day we went to BrookField Zoo and saw a lot cool animals.

It was a long day. But I think that she like the Dolphin show the best!

We also got Emmerson his first stuffed toy. A Wolf.

We did the same thing for Brooklynn when we went to Shedd Aquarium. We got her Roar. I was unable to find our pictures of that event. Hmmmm....

Anyways, that was our little trip.
