An Adventure it Was!
Every year, Jeff's employer takes all of it's employees and families to Adventureland, an amusement park just outside Des Moines. It's certainly not at the level of a Six Flags, but it is fun. We woke up yesterday morning to rain, but the forecast said hot, humid, and clear in the middle of the day, with more rain later in the afternoon. So off we headed about 8:30 a.m. as the sun was starting to come out.
Henry on the airplanes.
Goldie driving a semi-truck.
Virginia and Henry driving a semi.
Virginia, left, Henry right, and unknown boy in the middle on the hopper. Virginia loved the rides more than Goldie. Goldie didn't even want to get on a few, such as this one.
Henry (and Goldie) is checking to see if he's big enough to go on the roller coaster.
And, he was!! And, he did! And, he liked it! Didn't like the upside down one as much.
Goldie, Jeff, and Henry
Then, came the rain. Yes, that's my husband and son in this raft with a co-worker and his family. The girls and I were under a picnic table shelter.
Despite the fact Conner and Henry were soaked, they were having fun!

Oh how I remember the summer rains of childhood. So much fun, who cared if we were soaking wet. Thanks for reminding me of that simple pleasure from so long ago.
