On July 5th, we decided to head to Adventureland with the Boedings. The rain was supposed to hold off until the late afternoon, and Al and I felt bad that we had promised Becky the carnival on Sunday and we couldn't go because it rained the whole day. What does an almost 7 month pregnant lady do while she's at Adventureland? Take a lot of pictures!

Chase was too little for this one and I was too pregnant, so I did get to ride on the teacups with him and he got to ride the ladybugs two more times. This was the only time during the day when it rained fairly hard. The two of us were just as wet as the ones who went on the ride, if not more so. We were in the rain longer than they were!

Most of the lines weren't too long, but even in the rain, the water rides proved to be about the longest. Guess people figured they were already wet!
Guess who was big enough for the roller coasters!
This was the only part of the day I was really bummed to have missed out on. I would have loved to have been able to ride the Outlaw and Tornado with Becky. Oh well. She had so much fun. Al said she was a little scared going down this big hill....who isn't? But other than that, she loved it. Unfortunately, Drake was about and inch and a half too short. I bet by the end of the summer he's riding the coasters like a pro!
the airplanes
The Frog Hopper...which was ridden like three times in a row!
on the motorcycles
I wonder if they will like each other forever?
What a fun day we had, despite the rain. It could have been a lot worse. It was mostly a light rain off and on. Becky and Al rode the Tornado twice in a row! She really has no fear. I think the favorite ride for Drake and Becky again this year was the Galleon, but since I couldn't ride, no one else was up for going more than once in a row. The kids had to wait and go once in the beginning and one more time before we left. Thanks, Boedings, for going with us. It made the day so much more fun!

Becky you are so brave! I didn't go on the Tornado until I was an adult. I am guessing you will never get Bode on that thing! Glad you had a good 4th.
