One of the very first things Julianna realized was that she would miss her best friend's birthday, for the second year in a row (Kayleigh was in Colorado last summer!)
So Kayleigh's mom and I started scheming, determined we could come up with something fun and special to celebrate the big day, even if we did it a month early.
And on Thursday we took these two little ladies to the theme park!
It was so fun! We scrambled to arrange child care for the kids we left at home (between the two of us we have 9 kiddos!) and enjoyed a day with our oldest daughters - just the four of us.
Kayleigh is a total daredevil and will ride anything! Julianna, not so much. Though she rode more roller coasters than on her previous visits!
Post-cotton-candy sticky sugar fingers!
Sometimes we moms rode too. And sometimes we just sat and waited for them to ride. and ride. and ride.
Turns out that a Thursday in mid May is low season :) there was hardly anyone there! Some rides the girls would ride over and over and over, without ever getting out of their seats!
It was such an amazing day! Alisa and I had at least as much fun as the girls! And they were so sweet, so excited, so happy, so "this is the awesome" and "I can't believe this" and "should we ride again?"
Happy Birthday Kayleigh. and here's to another decade of sweet friendship for these two!
