7:30am and Brendan is still sleeping!! He must be worn out. But there is a big day ahead.

Great perks come from a cousin that works at Six Flags Great America! With Kayla’s employee benefits and Ashley’s season pass, we all got in free and didn’t have to pay to park. Woo hoo! Thanks girls!

As soon as we got in the park, the sky broke open and rain poured down. We took shelter in the bumper cars for a while. Big surprise what color Brendan picked.

The cousins were the perfect riding companions for the day!

The rain stopped quickly and never came back. All aboard the Crazy Bus!

Maybe they have grown out of these little rides now..

These apple things were good to ride while I had to stand in line for an hour for lunch

This dropper ride was really fun

Ashley is giving me the face, but I am still grateful that she could take them on the ride. The boys liked driving.

The line for “The Whizzer” was way too long. That is a good first grown up roller coaster. We didn’t want to wait an hour for it, so they rode this kid coaster a few times. Brendan is in the fifth car back with Ashley.

Trevor sat in the back seat with Kayla on the next train.

Trevor had to go again, he loved the ride. Brendan said he liked it too, but once was enough!

Now this is Brendan’s style!

Trevor got this in a photo booth, what a perfect face.

Squid hat!

Brendan found a mood color-changing “Eye of Sauron” necklace he had to have!

At the end of a long day, Kayla carried Trevor to the car. I was carrying Brendan!

It was a good day with the girls and all of their help made it really fun.

Gizmo did not know where the boys went all day! He stayed home and guarded their stuffed animals. He must have known they would come back for their animals.
