We were given some tickets to Great America (thank you Sheryl and Travis!!), so we made good use of them this past weekend. We escaped the cool weather of Monterey for a trip up to 95 degree Santa Clara for a day at Great America.
We had a great time riding lots of family rides and even tried our luck on some of the roller coasters. I nearly ruined my day after riding "Top Gun", but I'm still alive!
We stopped at the new water park after getting all sweaty on the regular rides. The kids loved the wave pool and played at the deepest end for most of the afternoon.
Kyla and Casey's favorite ride was the swings. They rode it a couple of times and couldn't seem to get enough. Although this used to also be my favorite ride as a child, I just sat and watched this time to save my stomach! It's amazing how much more "action" you can handle when you're a kid!
