Valleyfair...

Lukie, Lex and I went to Valleyfair yesterday, mostly for the waterpark (we were in it for over 3 hours), but also for some rides...

Lukie loved the Raging Rapid (or whatever it's called) tube ride...he went on it over and over again...





They both have always liked the lazy river that you find at a lot of places...




The wave pool is fun...this is Lex heading in...


And Lukie...


They're in there somewhere...


Lukie likes the high speed drop slides, the tallest one...





Of course we went on the regular waterslides, the multiperson tube slide, into the wading pools, etc...it was a great day for it...

After the waterpark, the first ride I tried to get them on was Thunder Canyon, but Lukie said "are you crazy?  We just got dried off."  So he used a water cannon to spray some people as they passed by instead...


Lex wanted to ride the train, so we did, but she didn't want to sit with us...



And she wanted to go on some of the smaller rides...Lukie wasn't going to stand around and wait for her, so he rode along too...



Of course we went on the big rollercoasters...the wild thing, corkscrew, etc...but no pictures there, we're just holding on real tight at that point...

All day long, Lex and I talked about going on the Wave at the end.  But at that point, I was dry and said I didn't want to go, but Lex was committed...it was her first time...

Here she is getting on...


Coming down...


She's in there somewhere...


She had fun...


Unfortunately, to exit the ride you have to cross that bridge...directly in the spray path of the next boat coming down the ramp...she putzed her way out of the boat and was taking her time getting to the bridge.  She eventually figured out what was happening and started to run...

Lukie and I were watching all of this helplessly...I was alternatively saying "stop and wait Lex" and "hurry and run fast" hoping she would miss the next spray...Lukie was laughing hysterically while saying "get her...get her...she's going to get nailed."  He was happy...

Lex did not make it across...


She was soaked...but had fun...a good day...
