the spree

we decided to take a family outing, which included jason and sonya of course, to the livonia spree on thursday nite. i have only been one other time which was 2 years ago. we went on a saturday afternoon and it was SO hot it wasn't that enjoyable. thursday nite was the perfect weather and made for a much nicer time. we went even after bribing hayden to be good at grandma's that day or else we wouldn't be going. he, in fact, was NOT good that day. but i caved and took him anyway. so much for consistency. here is what we did:

hayden running through the "park" as he called it:
coming down the slide at the "park" ride:
sonya and jason enjoying a deep fried twinkie:
this is what talan did:
the boys. don't they look tough:
hayden was talking to the kid and mom behind him. i'm sure it had something to do with the "coupling" of the train:
the roller coaster hayden went on all by himself (he's in the red shirt):
he's a great driver. i think i even heard him screaming at the kid in front of him to get out of his way. wonder where he gets that:
actually looking and smiling at the camera:
a good time was had by all. hayden behaved pretty well until the end. and that was at like 10pm. and it really only had to do with him not stopping when we told him to. same old stuff. next year we'll get him a wristband so he can go on all the rides he wants. we're off to the theater now for some thomas live. so that post will be up on hayden's page tomorrow i would think.
