MAGIC SPRINGS!!!!!

Magic Hot Springs was just that- Magic.  We had such a fun time it was ridiculous!

We started in the car for our 3 hour drive.  Only every 15 minutes someone asked if we were there or almost there yet.

Z was just happy.  He made happy noises almost the whole way.  Hopefully he will be that way on our 24 hour trek to UT!!!

Hubby and I refused to take 4 young kids to an amusement park by ourselves.  So we asked one of our babysitters and great friends, Marisa, to come along.  She was excited and all for it.  Which was awesome.  It was great to have someone be able to help rotate with the kids and help watch them and stuff.  Not only is she a great helper- she's just a great friend and a great example to my babies.  We love having her and having her around!!

About half way through we decided to stop at WallyWorld to get a few forgotten things.  We decided it might be good to get some apples to snack on since they love and adore apples.  It was like they were magic themselves.  It made the car quiet.  We went through many apples that day.

All with smiles too!

When we crossed the boarder they got all excited because we were 'so close'.  We really weren't all that close, but if it made them feel better we were ok with that.

So once we got there, they were in awe.  There was so much to do!!!  JellyBean, Chunk and I headed over to the bumper cars while Joseph, Marisa and the babies headed over to this thing.  It slowly has the kids go up and down.  The two on the far left are my babies.  Z and Monkey loved it.

See?

That is a squeal right there.  They just giggled and laughed and had a grand old time!

Then there was some waiting.

Then Risa and the big kids headed over to another ride.

We then had to take a moment to splash and cool off!  That was just a preview for what was to come!  Oh boy did it make them antsy and excited! 

After some lunch we headed over to the "train track"!!!!  The anticipation for this ride was slightly tangible!

Can you see Monkey's expression of pure joy and excitement and thrill and jubilation?  It was so awesome to watch him.

The only thing that might top the "train tracks" would be the "airw pwanes".  Oh golly-  the excitement level was off the charts.  They kept going up and down and up and down and squealing with delight the whole time.  The trip was worth it alone just for the squeals of delight and sheer joy.

The next moment of joy was the merry-go-round.  Oh golly- the fact that she was riding a unicorn was beyond comprehension.

Z was excited but slightly unsure.... until it started- then he giggled as we went up and down.

Monkey was as excited as ever.

Now, much to our confusion.  Chunk chose the centaur.  Why is beyond us.  But it made the ride great for him!

We then headed over to the water park portion.  There are no pictures of that since my camera is not water proof.  Needless to say there were many trip to the water slide and down and back down again.  Back up then down again.  Joseph took the bigger two down some of the slides and they loved that too!  As we were walking from the lockers to the exit we look down only to find poor Z conked out and so exhausted.

Poor baby!

Even by the end of the day- all the grown-ups were still smiling!!  See 3 smiling faces!!

Dinner and then 20 minutes in the car and this is what we see.

All four passed out!!  It was amazing!

What was so funny is how they were sleeping- domino's on top of each other!

How great is that!!

Anyway, it was an AMAZING time!!  It was so great to bring such sweet babies such a fun time.  Watching them having such a great time was priceless!

We sure love our babies and we were so glad to be able to take them and we were able spend the day with those we love!
