spring break time!

Friday was the first day of spring break, so I decided to bring the boys to Great Adventure by myself. However, it appears that the rest of NJ, PA, and DE also thought this would be a good idea. Even with free parking and season passes it took me about 50 minutes to get through parking and the line to get in! Thankfully it wasn't nearly bad as I expected it to be once we got inside. A line of only a minute or so to see some characters.


Tyler got to ride a ton of rides, of course by himself as he prefers!


They spent some time in the Wiggles World play area. Jason preferred to go up the stair, get scared the look of the slide, and scoot down the stairs repeatedly.

After a quick lunch is was off to the dolphin show. Tyler was fascinated by it, and Jason kept trying to get my attention in case I weren't aware that there were dolphins jumping out of the water in the direction we were all looking. And then he kept "woof"ing at them. Apparently they resemble dogs to him. Anyway, the show was fun for them!





Quick snack after the dolphin show.

Jason wandered a little in a play area while Tyler ran all around using up lots of energy.

After a very unsuccessful first ride last week on the carousel, and had been reluctant to let Jason on anything. Occasionally I asked him if he wanted to get on things and he'd shake his head no, so I didn't push. Plus, Tyler had wanted to go on things by himself anyway, but when Tyler asked Tyler if he wanted to go on this ride Jason signed "yes" emphatically. I put him on and he waited patiently for it to start. He LOVED it and as Tyler cheered Jason started yelling...yelling so loud in fact that the ride operator had to ask me if he was upset because if so she'd need to stop it. Nope, loud and happy! In fact when he got off he signed "more" so we got right back on.


We head back over to Wiggles World and after some rides the boys played for quite a while in the foam ball fun zone. Tyler ran around like crazy. Meanwhile (thankfully) Jason was quite content to stand in exactly the same spot just repeatedly throwing foam balls. The place is quit4e over-stimulating for ME, but apparently not for them!

Later Ty went on a few more rides, and Jason joined him (happily this time) on the carousel TWICE before we decided to call it a day and come home.
