MOA DAY!

Before Kari and Andy left, they gave us free wristbands for unlimited rides.  The MOA was having a deal this summer that for every $250 spent you received a wristband.  Lucky for us, they had too many they could actually get use.  It was super nice and super thoughtful of them! 

We called Maddie today to invite her to go to the mall with us- we do not get to see her enough these days.  It makes me really sad considering how much time we spent with her and her family when she was first born and for the first few years of her life.  

I was a little nervous that it was going to be super busy but since our wristbands were free, we really had nothing to lose.  We ate lunch right when we got there.

We were pleasantly surprised to see that it wasn't busy at all.  None of the rides had long lines.

Many times the kids were able to go on a ride and then immediately get right back in line to go again.

Hannah and Maddie wanted to go on the Log Chute ride, Hailey however did not.

We walked in line with them and then when we got up front we just dropped them off and then went to the end of the ride to wait for them.  We watched group after group turn the corner and make their way down the chute- screaming at the top of their lungs.

It was fun to see Hannah and Maddie come down that chute!  They looked terrified but I knew that they were having such a great time and that was confirmed by the sound of the giggles.

It was hard to let go and let Hannah and Maddie go on those bigger rides alone but they LOVED them.

The Fairly Odd Parents ride is a huge roller coaster that spins as it goes along the track.  They could not get enough of this ride!  There is no way you could get me on that thing!
Look all the way up there.....my little girl is on that ride getting spun and tossed around!

Towards the end of the day we were able to talk Hailey into trying out the Pepsi roller coaster.  Her and I sat together and Hannah and Maddie sat together.  All of us loved it.  It was the first time that I had ever been on a roller coaster at the mall- finally I can mark that off the list!
