Valleyfair - Day Two!

Okay, sorry it's been a while since we posted an update about Cheri, Kellen and Cody's visit, so here it is...

We had so much fun at Valleyfair the first day, we decided to go back again! We rode a lot more rides the second time around. Joy even worked up the nerve to get on a couple of the coasters she hadn't been on before - The Renegade and The Wild Thing. Auntie Cher got SOAKED on the Thunder Canyon water raft ride - ha,ha! A great time was had by all - AGAIN. Here are some pictures from our second day at Valleyfair...

One of the first rides we rode was The Wave - a water ride that creates a HUGE wave and completely soaks everyone. Cody, Kellen, Tom and Joy rode the ride (Auntie Cher stayed with Lillianna and took pictures). Here's a couple pictures of the ride hitting the water and Tom and Joy a little "wet behind the ears":

Then, as if we weren't wet enough, we decided to ride the Thunder Canyon water raft ride. It's a ride that goes under several waterfalls, so depending on where you're sitting in the raft and how it twists and turns along the way, you may or may not get completely soaked. Cheri, Kellen and Cody went first - then Tom and Joy took a ride. Cheri and Cody got a direct hit from a waterfall - ha,ha! Tom and Joy managed to avoid most of the water and came through mostly dry. Here's Cheri, Kellen and Cody on their raft ride:

Uh-oh...here comes the waterfall (who's gonna get wet???)...

Cover your head, Cheri!!!

Cody's next - and seems to love it!

Ahhhhh - refreshing!!!

"The Wild Thing" - the big, scary green coaster that can be seen from miles away - the one that Joy had never been able to work up the courage to get on....until now. Kellen, Cody and Joy took a ride on "The Wild Thing" .... it was SO much fun!

Kellen and Cody had a caricature done at one of the many caricature booths in the park. It was perfect!


Auntie Cher spent the week teaching Miss Lily how to give her "five". She's a good teacher - Lillianna still knows how to give "five"!
