Great America

Riley earned a ticket to an amusement park through school for reading.

We decided that Riley & I would have a one-on-one date.

I thought it was for Great America & found out the morning that we were going it was for Marine World.

My ticket cost for Marine World was the same price as two tickets to Great America & we found out Great America has a waterpark now so we tossed his ticket out & went to Great America.

1st ride- The Demon



As I've said before Riley loves these type of rides.

There was no line when we got back to the platform so they said we could go again.

I got off but Riley went for another spin.

Riley loves all the fast spinning ones.

I chose to sit out.



I finally found one that freaked Riley out a bit.

Drop Tower or for us "old people" Drop Zone.

I made him go on it twice just so he could realize I'm not a wimp.

When it started to get hot we grabbed some lunch & headed over to the waterpark portion.

We played in the wave pool for a while & then I relaxed

while Riley learned how much he loves waterslides.

He is addicted!

He even made me go on some crazy waterslide that you go down on a two-man raft.

Afterwards though we left the waterpark section & I made him chafeur me around as I waved like a queen.

We then picked the last thing we wanted to do before leaving.

I picked racing boats down the river.

A great memory I remember doing with my family.

He won & rubbed it in my face.

He then chose Bumper Cars as his last thing to do.

He needs to work on his driving skills.

He gave himself whiplash & I just laughed.

It was a really fun day with lots of memories.

I can't believe he is this old. I feel like it wasn't that long ago that I was coming here as a teenager.

I came home with one tired young man.
