Magic Mountain

I drove down to CA for Spring Break with Chad's sisters, Kristin and Courtney and his Mom. It was quite the drive and thank goodness we split it in 2 days and stayed in St. George overnight. We drove in 2 suburbans, and had 4 women and 10 girls! Every time we would stop and pile out of the cars people would just stop and stare. And we always got comments like, "Girls just keep coming out of your car!" "There are no boys!" It was funny to watch people watch us. They were in town for 4 days and stayed at a hotel in Valencia. We went to the beach of course, Magic Mountain, the American Girl Doll Store, and the Aquarium of the Pacific.

Magic Mountain was a blast! I used to go all the time when I was growing up, but hadn't gone in over 10 years (the roller coasters make me sick). But I was impressed with the park, and the little kid area. The kids LOVED it! And it is so close to us! And A LOT less expensive than Disneyland! We will be getting season passes and heading back everytime we come home. You can get a pass for $60!

Taylor has a love for adventure! She wanted to go on all the big roller coasters and cried when I told her she wasn't big enough. I was surprised though how many rides she could go on. I took her on Log Jammer and Jet Stream! She LOVED them and loved getting all wet. Katelyn was also loving the rides. At Disneyland she is terrified of the roller coasters and we had to fight her to get on Splash Mountain, but she went on everything she could at Magic Mountain and couldn't get enough. It was a great day and the weather was perfect. And a day at Magic Mountain just isn't complete without a carmel apple!
