On Wednesday we went to San Antonio to play at 6 flags. It was the perfect day for it. I've been a bit hesitant to take long day trips because I just don't know how Tate will react to no naps all day but it was great. Here is a list of all of the ways our day was perfect!
- The weather was gorgeous. Sunny with a little breeze so it wasn't too hot. Beautiful.
-No traffic all the way to San Antonio and all the way home.
-A guy in line behind us had extra copies of this coupon and he gave us one so we and our friends got in for half price! It was so nice to get in for so cheap because it made us feel less rushed and pressured all day. We didn't have to get in so many rides to feel like we got our money's worth because we paid half price for our tickets! We went on two huge coasters; Goliath and Superman. They were amazing. 
This is Superman. It went up and over the edge of the cliff. Tons of huge drops. My favorite. It was cool watching the cliff just disappear under my feet as we flew over the edge and then dove toward the ground. It was such a rush, and a great view to boot...when I opened my eyes that is.
-We spent the day with this family. The Jenkins are in our ward and we have so much fun together. It was fun watching our kids take in the crazy amusement park atmosphere. Their sweet little Molly was hilarious. She'd go on a ride with her dad and then RUN to her mom afterwards, so excited to tell her all about it!
-The kids were such great sports. Tate was super happy when he got to get out and run around, but didn't fuss much when he was stuck in his stroller for long period of time either. I love this picture of little dude and his daddy.
Tate wouldn't sleep in the car so he finally zonked for about an hour in his stroller. Even with just a little bit of rest all day he was incredibly pleasant.
-Glenn, being the bold guy he is, asked if we could go through the "handicapped entrance" with our strollers for a ride with at least an hour and a half long line. The attendant said that we could since there was really no way to get through the regular line with our strollers (there were tight winds and tons of stairs). So we literally walked up to the front of the line through the exit ramp and got on the very next ride. It was awesome. Oh the advantages of having kiddos, and a husband who is bold and asks the right questions.

Great Mexican food in an enchanting atmosphere. The walls were murals of famous Mexicans, the ceilings were covered with decorations, and Mariachi bands were circling playing live music. Tate loved it and danced in his high chair every time he heard them. Tate also loved the vast amounts of rice, beans, and chips he was able to get into his face.
So much fun! I'm glad we had a successful day trip. It made me realize that we can and should do it more. Tate was a trooper and seemed to have fun just exploring this new place. Have I mentioned that I love spring break?

Is there anything better than a massive roller coaster to bring out the kid in us? Please tell me you had a funnel cake, you know, to authenticate the experience. FUN!!
Sounds like fun! Glad to hear you took Glen away from the office and went on an adventure! There is a picture of Tate in this post that looks like Cody when he was little.
Tate is very cute!
Invigorating to know you can do those kinds of things huh? Love it! I remember having those same feelings with my kiddos. They were always more flexible and accommodating than I thought they would be. Good times!
What a fun trip! Good friends, good babies and a great day! Who can ask for more? Those coasters look amazing! It's been too long since I've been one one. Glad you are enjoying the sunshine, I'm very envious.
I agree whats better than a big roller coaster!Ha Ha Kim why do you have to always look so cute all the time. Geez your making me jealous. Love you -Kenzie
That sounds like a perfect day. Makes me long for nicer weather here.
The little picture of you and Tate when he is smiling is so cute. I'm always weirded out by what a big boy he is.
