Christmas shopping payed big dividends this year... in the form of free Nickelodeon Universe ride wristbands! Carson got to spend a night with Grandma and soak up some personal attention, and the big kids got to call all the shots with mom and dad at MOA.
It was pretty fun keeping the surprise from them and telling them right after school on our way out of town. They had a guess that we were going out to eat, but their eyes lit up so brightly when they found out about the rides!

Cooper's first time on the bumper cars was a big dud... and he got teary when he had to get off because he didn't think it was fair. A little kid didn't know how to use his car and kept Cooper pinned in the corner for almost the whole time. But, it was after this ride he understood what 'unlimited' means :) There were barely any lines in the whole park, and he was able to get right back on the next ride to try again. Those tears were gone quick!
We went to the Rainforest Cafe for supper, complete with a couple thunderstorms and bottled root beer!
Thumbs up for a fun Big-Kid Night!!
Cooper and Jeremy hit up the roller coaster while Izzy and I rode the Ferris Wheel. Cooper was a big talked until it came time to get on, and then he started getting nervous. Jeremy wouldn't let him chicken out, and from then on--he was hooked! I bet he rode that thing six times! He convinced Izzy she should ride (although it didn't take much convincing for Little Miss Daredevil). She was about one inch short, but they let her ride. She loved it as much as he did. I LOVED their giggles through the whole ride!
I'll definitely have to keep my eye out for free wristbands in the future. It was SO worth it! We all had a blast. Someday it will be fun to give it a try with Carson, too!!
