Monday was our last day of vacation. Time to head home but not before we took the kids to MAGIC MOUNTAIN :D We packed up and got on the road early, stopping first for a big ol breakfast!

We got season passes for the Six Flags amusement parks for Christmas and have been 3 times so far this year! It paid for itself in the first visit so basically we get to go for free! I have it down to a system too so we don't end up spending much money.

This was the Boy's first trip to a real amusement park! We took him to Disneyland several years ago but this is a place for the BIG KIDS! This is more about the rides than the story. I love my some Disneyland, and we'll probably take Lil Miss there a time or 2 more since she's still little but I think we'll be hitting places like this up more often ;)

When we first walked in we ran into Wonder Woman! Lil Miss was WIDE EYED AND SO EXCITED! "I WANNA GO SAY HI TO THAT SUPER HERO!" lol

Copying her new favorite character ;)

First we rode the carousel as we figured out where to go first!

We decided to ride the Ninja first. This was Lil Miss's first roller coaster ever back in December and she really wanted to show her daddy and her brother how cool it was ;) They loved it! And so did she! She's screams and yells and WOOOHOOOs! the whole ride :)

Next we rode the bumper cars and they got quite a kick out of knocking us as hard as possible ;)

Lil Miss has an issue with LOOKING AT THE @#$%ING CAMERA ... lol

Then they wanted to go on the Scrambler ... I said PEACE OUT and stood by to take pictures ;) Mama's tummy ain't what she useda be ...

Lil Miss really got a kick out of meeting the characters :) We ate lunch and then decided to split up so the men folk could ride the big rides.

They went on the Goliath ...

and the Colossus. I was surprised and proud of the Boy going on these. From the moment we walked in the park he kept saying he didn't really want to go on the BIG RIDES cause he was scared and he was too nervous. We pushed him just enough and he ended up doing it! I knew he would ;) We're really proud of him for being brave! and now ... HE LOVES them!

While the boys were ridin rides, Lil Miss and I headed over to Looney Toon Town!

We rode their newest roller coaster, the Road Runner! She LOVES her some roller coasters ;)

I have GOT to look into getting me one of these ...

So we ran around Toon Town and there was almost NO ONE there! She rode rides twice in a row sometimes, sometimes she was the only kid on the ride! It was great! My camera battery was low so I didn't take as many photos as I would have liked to, but OH MY she had the BEST time!

And you should have seen the men's faces when they found us! They LOVED those rides!

We decided it was time to head home but not before the guys went on one last ride ...

The Revolution! They went on it TWICE! and would have gone more if we'd had time!

While we waited for the guys, we went on the carousel again.

We had a GREAT time! It was SO much fun! I was so proud of the Boy for over coming his fears :) So we finally took off and headed home.

But on the way home we stopped at MY FAVORITE PLACE EVER OMG ... HOBBY LOBBY. The first one in California is approximately 2.25 hours from my house and just so happened to be on our way home :)

OH YOU KNOW WE HAD TO STOP!

You have never seen someone try so hard to take in SO MUCH INFORMATION in such a small amount of time. It was like trying to take a giant panoramic picture with my mind to think about later LOL.

All of that to say, IT WAS AMAZING. And I'll be going back :)

It was a great little vacation. Full of family, relaxing, sight seeing, roller coasters and HOBBY LOBBY ... what more could I ask for?!
