Because we were waiting for Evan's arrival last summer, we decided not to make a trip to Valleyfair. Since I HATE rides and Heather couldn't go on too much, it would have been a pretty wasted trip for just Isaac to go. Plus, Heather LOVES rides so that would have been pretty unfair. This year we finally found time to go and for the first time, we made a 2 day trip out of it.
Day One
We decided to come down the night before so we didn't have to rush. Plus, it allowed some sleep time for Evan which we knew would be key to survive the day. We met Heather's sister's family (Mel, Mike, Zach, and Tori) at about 10:30 a.m. and hit the park running. Isaac was excited because FINALLY he was tall enough to go on all of the rides. Isaac lives for high rides and having fun so this was a bit of milestone for him. Many trips to Valleyfair have resulted in tears because Isaac was just a bit too short for the most challenging of rides. Thank God those days are over.
We hit the rides until about 12:30 p.m. and then headed out to the picnic area for lunch - which
is a HUGE saver and actually better food and more fun. It is was nice to take a break and enjoy some non-fried, non-greasy food. Plus, when you pay $3.50 for a bottle of water you can about imagine what everything else was. Pretty crazy...We then spend the rest of the day hitting just about every ride in the park. Zach took off with his friend while Tori and Isaac stayed together. Luckily Mel's fiancee Mike doesn't really enjoy rides much either so I had someone to hang around and visit with which was nice. Evan was a trooper the whole day, especially when Heather figured out that if she put him on his stomach in the stroller he would sleep for almost 3 hours.
We ended up closing the park down that night and headed back to the hotel for some well needed sleep.
Day two tomorrow.
