Michigan's Adventure

A few months ago, we decided we had wanted to do something fun with the kids this summer. We had never been to Michigan's Adventure but love theme parks, so we thought it would be fun! We talked to Mandy and Ellis to see if they wanted to join us and they did. So we picked the date, August 8th to go. Unfortunatly for Mandy and Ellis, Ellis had to have his Shoulder reconstruction surgery the week before so they were out. I wanted the kids to still be able to go and have a great time so we offered to take them with us. It wasn't easy convincing them to let us take the kids but they did.
We left early Saturday morning of the 8th. My mom came up and stayed with Braeleigh so we didn't have to drag her around the park. Any way, it was pouring and supposed to rain the whole day. We toughed it out any way, got there around 11:30am and the rain stopped so we headed into the park. Started out on the kiddie rides so Hayden could ride, and went on a few big ones in between. Then it got hot, so we decided to go back to the van and eat lunch and change into our suits. We then headed to the water park. Everyone had a blast. We went down water slides, took Hayden in the pools, he loved it. We stayed there until the water park closed at 7 then went and got dinner. Then we headed back to the rides. The kids all had a blast, as did Nick and I. We had so much fun we already said we have to go back next year. Except next year we plan to get more people to go.
