Silver Dollar City!!

Yay!!! I think I'm finally able to post! Blogger and I have been having a slight disagreement but appears that we're all good now and I'm able to upload photos again! :-)

Last Wednesday was the best weather day while we were in Missouri.... it was beautiful out!!! A perfect day to go to Silver Dollar City with our cousins who live in New York. We only get to see them about every other year... but it is such a treat when we do. My two love going to Silver Dollar City with their cousins.

Alex decided that he wanted to ride PowderKeg again on this visit. He had ridden it once before... a couple years ago. About halfway through the ride he started begging to get off of the ride. I knew a couple of years had passed... but I wasn't sure how he was going to do. He was going to ride it with Hannah this time.... no parents.

Here they are... all smiles as the coaster gently gets into it's starting position...

Their faces after "launch"....
(from the website: "launching from 0 to 53 miles per hour in just 2.8 seconds")

Clara and Rachel are almost inseparable when they get together.

Here they are playing at Geyser Gulch...
After riding a bunch of other rides, the kids decided that they wanted to ride the Lost River of the Ozarks. Given that it was a nice day but not that nice... we purchased some rain ponchos for them to wear on the ride.

They seriously would have been SOAKED (especially since a couple of the non-riding family members were shooting the water canons at them)....
Yellow ducks... all in a row :-)
Clara and her cousin Rachel (technically they're second cousins)...
Clara always has to play one of the games....
.... because you know we need more of these....

We got there about when it opened and left at about the time the park closed. It was such an amazing day!

I think that's the end of the Missouri photos... so I guess I'll have to take some more so I have something to post tomorrow! :-)
