ValleyFair... lots of pictures

The McCollough/Haigh's took a mini-vacation to ValleyFair (an amusement park in MN- about 45 mins from home). We spent the night friday night in a hotel with a few indoor waterslides. Presley thought the frog slide was lots of fun. She, however, didn't like the sleeping arrangements and only let Mom have 3 hours of sleep!!!
This is her going down the frog slide...
I had to help her so she wouldn't go under!
Saturday we spent the ENTIRE day at ValleyFair... there were lots of kids rides. Madeleine was such a big cousin and rode the rides with Presley. Dominik was there too, but most rides were only two seaters.

Busy Bees...
My Miss America daughter (waving)... riding a fish... by herself!!! She is getting so big! Video of her riding the fish...

This was a "big-kid" ride... Madeleine and Dominik
Rub-a-Dub Tubes!
Speed Boats... not very speedy, but they loved them!
Presley thought this train was wonderful. Madeleine again sitting in there with her!
Video of Madeleine and Dominik on the mini-roller coaster. They are the second pair from the front... yellow and orange shirts.

While John, Matt, Brenda and I rode some roller coasters, my parents took the kids into this Foam Ball Factory... They had a ball!!! Throwing them, picking them up... they went nuts!

Presley and Daddy


She FINALLY gave in and took a 45 min nap. Mind you she was up at 7am and no nap until about 2, then no nap until the ride home. She was a trooper!!!
Madeleine wanted to go on the Wave... this is us dry...
This is us SOAKED!!!
Even Dominik, who was too short to ride, got wet by standing on the side!!!
Waiting for the train
We had a blast... we will definately make it back there. But this time we will spend the night after spending the day there :)
