July Vacation - Discovery Kingdom

So Tim and I finally took some vacation time beginning with July 4th.  Neither of us had really taken anything longer than a long weekend since Miles was born.  We had a San Diego trip all planned out for summer of 2011 but the news we received earlier that year that Caleb was to be joining the family changed those plans as it was booked for the week he was expected to arrive.  We didn't really go too far as we also had a family reunion this month which our vacation coincided with, therefore we did a few day trips and enjoyed just relaxing. 

We has spend the first day running some errands for the reunion and getting things ready.  Day 2 was a trip to Six Flags Discovery Kingdom.  Miles had a blast.  He loved seeing all the animals and shows.  Although a little hesitant at first he did enjoy the kids rides and was greatly upset that he couldn't go on an adult ride with mom and dad.  He cried the entire 1 1/2 minutes it took us to ride the ride.
