The last part of Cora's Big Birthday Weekend was a trip to Magic Mountain with her friend Emily. She specifically requested to go to this theme park, because she loves the big thrill rides.
Since we don't have season passes, we were very grateful to Grandpa for giving us tickets he acquired through all his photographic services during Fright Fest and the Christmas season.
Making the family deal even sweeter, Grandma came with us, so we got free parking and a member of our party in for free as her buddy. Emily has a season pass, so it was easy to bring her along.
We started our day with me, the big girls and Grandma taking on Twisted Colossus. Grandma thought it was a bit much, but Cora, Emily and I loved it. Meanwhile, Stace took Violet to the kiddie area.
Then, the big girls and got in line for Goliath. We were hoping that since it was Super Bowl Sunday, the park would be empty, but the long line for Goliath proved otherwise.
But, Goliath, shown here, is well worth waiting for.
Notice I'm by myself? My dear darling husband was going to ride with us, but changed his mind.
Then we met up with Stace, Violet and Grandma, and had a bite to eat. The girls all wanted to ride Scrambler (above), and Violet needed an adult to ride with.
I can do loops and drops, but I don't normally like twisty rides. BUT, Violet wanted to ride it, and Stacey didn't want to, so I made the sacrifice.
The picture with Violet alone here are in Bugs Bunny World. She had a good time, too.
Spending the afternoon with these girls was so much fun!
After a forgettable experience on the wooden coaster Apocolypse (too jarring), we ended our day on Goldrusher. Then, we went home for a simple pizza dinner with Emily before her parents picked her up.
Whew! Now THAT was a birthday weekend!
