Nick U

We were a group of rebels last night.  We stayed up past our bed times and hit the rides at the MOA.  As a birthday gift to Olivia and Savannah (my brother's girlfriend's daughter), my parents wanted to take them to Nickelodeon Universe for rides.  Since my parents are employed based on summer weather, and spring is starting to hit us so early, they knew they wanted to squeeze in this gift before they got too crazy busy.  We met at my parents' place for a spaghetti dinner (With my whole family there, which was pretty special.  Since Katelyn is in college now it doesn't happen too often.)  Then we headed to the MOA. 

The two girls were so stink'en cute!  They were holding hands as soon as we unloaded them from the car, and would lead the pack to where they wanted to go.  The first ride they tried... The log flume!  There's no way Olivia would do this on her own, but Savannah gave her the courage.  Of course since Grandma and Papa gave them the gift, it was only appropriate that they go with them on the ride! 

They both had a blast; eager to hop from ride to ride with little hesitation to try something new.  This included the kiddie bumper cars.  They each sat in their own, so we were curious how it would go.  It would either be really boring, or really funny.  It turned out to be HILARIOUS.  Like, tears-running-down-your-cheeks-funny.  My mom instructed them to push the pedal down all the way the whole time, and they did just that.  Olivia turned her steering wheel all the way in one direction, so she spun in circles for what seemed like a good minute or two.

Just had to include this picture of a construction area, taken from the car as we were entering the MOA area.  Note the third requirement.  It had Pat and I laughing. 

Memories were made.  Looking forward to more opportunities to enjoy fun activities like these now that Olivia is getting older to enjoy them too!
