We have been promising to take the H's to Frontier City forever. It was supposed to happen last year. Last year I had sweet baby Grayson and then got incredibly ill. I so desperately wanted to pay someone to play with my babies last summer. Someone to love them up and take them to places I just couldn't. Hailey can quote the care.com commercial. She still tries to get me to call them up when things just don't work out. I guess we need more real trustworthy friends and family closer that can love on our kiddos during the day hours and actually want to do so not because they have been asked OR we just need to move closer to them :).
Since school was about to begin, we made it happen for Hailey. Since Hailey and Hunter are different heights, some of the rides are not okay to take both of them on and would wind up having to wait. If we went as a whole family, it would be long and boring since Baby G would be cooped up most of the time. So Brady kept Hunter and Grayson ALL day and we played. It was so fun to be with my girl. I needed it and I am glad we got to spend time together.
We went on all the rides except for 2. The rocking boat we always see from I35 was especially fun for our tummies. We rode that 3 times. We even got soaking wet on the boat and log rides. We paid to dry off in one of these large driers that helped some. And as our new fate would have it, she somehow managed to get whiplash and bonked the back of her head on her first ever roller coaster. We were not expecting how rocky it would be going. I lover roller coasters and forgot that this was a wooden one bound to do that. She wanted me to film it so I did until it got too rough. Looking back, I wish I would have ignored her request and just held her against me. She had a bump from hitting the metal bar way behind her head twice apparently. I kept praying that she would be okay and not throw up. We haven't even started paying the bill from her 3rd concussion in June! This girl scares me to pieces with every carefree move she makes. We took it easy after that. Couldn't leave with out yummy food and a special keepsake from the gift shop. She chose to have a really cute blue dolphin stuffed. We also did another smooth roller coaster that did a mini loop. We couldn't let her roller coaster drama beat us. It was fast and fun. The line was so too long and we would have gone again had it been short. She didn't want to go on the other 2 big roller coasters. Don't blame her. Next time. She's my brave girl but head bonks really are not fun. She did try her hand out at the games. She quickly lost $3. Those balloons are hard to pop if you don't throw a dart hard enough at them. She did win at the fishing game. Got to pick out a cute red stuffed crayon. Can't wait till next year. I hope to get passes. They have a water park area now that will be perfect to play in since we don't have a neighborhood pool. They don't get many opportunities to go swimming or splash around in clear water. So this may just be the perfect spot.
Here are a few pictures of us that day. Love you Miss Hailey!
