Holiday in the Park

The Cecava family was fortunate enough to receive tickets to Six Flags Holiday in the Park this year, so we decided, one day before it ended, to take advantage of it. I think Nick and I were secretly dreading hauling the boys up there and hoping the guilt wouldn't get to us until after it was over. But it did and before we knew it, we were shelling out $15 to park (they should call it "Highway Robbery in the Park" if you ask me). Anyway, we knew we made the right decision the moment we got there and saw the excitement on Eli's face. It was priceless. While we were there, he got to see Scooby Doo, Sylvester, Tweety, Daffy Duck, and Taz. I was pleasantly surprised at all of the rides they had for kids his age. I thought we were limited to Looney Toon Town, but there were several rides throughout the park he was tall enough for. Nick and I took turns watching the kids while the other rode the Titan, so we even got a big kid ride in for the day. Poor Sam really couldn't do much of anything but ride in the stroller and people watch, which, luckily for us, is one of his favorite things to do. He'll be able to enjoy it more next year. The only disappointing part of the day was that Eli never got to see Buzz Bunny (Bugs Bunny). We scoured the park for him, but he must have had the day off. I have to say our Holiday in the Park experience was way better than I had anticipated - so much better that I promised Eli we'd go back next year.
