Day 6 - part 2 - Adventure City

Adventure City was one of those parks, listed on our pass, that we had never heard of.   It was the perfect park for the last day.  It is on the same street as Knott's Berry Farm, but it is much smaller.  Most everything was geared toward the younger kids and we were able to ride on just about everything in just a couple of hours.

Jacob and Spencer on the Wheel of Smiles, a little ferris wheel.

William, John, and Bryce

Annalise on the carousel.  Yes, it really was that hot out there that day.

This is a little plane ride that Annalise and I went on while the others went on the roller coaster.  She loved this pink airplane until she saw the yellow one across from us and then cried for the rest of the ride because she wanted "the yellow one"

This ride was awful!  It takes you up in the air and spins around in a circle.  We were all feeling a bit ill after this one!

This was a favorite.  It was little rescue cars that went around a track.

Annalise's favorite ride was the train.  

My sweet girl.

These were kid powered trains that would move when the kids cranked the handles.  Spencer and Annalise were the only kids small enough to ride them.

Since Annalise wasn't able to run this on her own, Jacob and William took turns pulling/pushing her around the track.  She loved it.

Bryce always loves the costumed creatures.

It was quite warm the day we were here and by the end of the adventure we were all pretty thirsty.  On the way out, John bought the boys an ICEE to share.  It was hilarious watching them all try to dig into it at once. 

They did well with it until they all began getting a brain freeze!  

After leaving adventure city we drove just a bit to Riverside and decided to stay there for the night.  After dinner and getting everyone ready for bed, I ran to the Target around the corner and bought a few things for our return trip the next day.  

Sunday morning we got up and headed for home.  We stopped in to see our friends from our old Scottsdale ward, the Sunderman family, who had moved to Redlands, CA.  We haven't seen them in years, so it was great to catch up and see how much their children have grown.  They had prepared a wonderful breakfast for us.  Unfortunately I didn't get any pictures and we made them a bit late for church.  Other than that, it was a fantastic visit!  We then headed on home and made it home that evening happy, tired, and needing a vacation from our vacation! =)
