It was a long and fun trip but it is always so nice to come home.
Met up with some friends at a splash pad. In all honesty we will never go back there. Yes it was free, but right in the middle of the war zone and shared fences with the homeless. My BP was through the roof the whole time. On a good note, this amazingly HUGE bowl was pretty epic.
The otter exhibit is finally open at the aquarium!
If you are OCD you will notice something in this picture. I am twitching over here too.
Since we are at the aquarium and it takes my kids 5 minutes to run through, we naturally hop over to the botanical gardens
Black Widows are the worst! Thankfully this is the only one we found.

A pretty good deal came in the mail for Cliffs amusement park, so we decided to capitalize on it. After about 2 rides Ty and I were trying to keep our cookies down and then opted out. The kids enjoyed the rides and had a blast.
Ty took one for the team and went with Elise on this ride. Hard pass.
Bronson was a big boy and did the rides by himself as mom and dad took some nice slow deep breathes and lots of swallowing.
Bronson wasn't allowed on the bigger bumper cars and we weren't allowed in the kiddie one. Poor kid couldn't figure it out. He stayed in this position for most of it.
Bronson loved the log lume. Ty told him to put his arms in the air when they went down the chute. Bronson did so and when Ty tried to put his arms up, Bronson quickly pulled them down and told Ty to hold onto him:)
