I don't know how my husband does it either. I got 5 hours of sleep one night and couldn't function at all the next day.<br /><br /><b>Boyer family</b>- maybe next year we can go together, although, your kids are still a little young, it wouldn't have been worth the cost yet. I think Joseph's (maybe even Kirsti's) age and higher is when it gets really exciting.Charlottehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16349403417525132723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-273175002472753405.post-16786617295355584702009-08-16T17:07:10.660-07:002009-08-16T17:07:10.660-07:00so jealous.

Hey, the kids will probably have great memories of this. I grew up in Key West - we went to amusement parks a lot - living in florida and they were some of my favorite memories. How your husband does it - I'll never know. Can barely function without at least 4 hours. But doing that day in and out, switching nights to days? Couldn't do it! <br />GabbyNiccihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07823534500672899883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-273175002472753405.post-75738062614934046272009-08-12T04:32:16.765-07:002009-08-12T04:32:16.765-07:00Alyson I just emailed you my ward info.<b>Alyson</b> I just emailed you my ward info.Charlottehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16349403417525132723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-273175002472753405.post-57164655228781496972009-08-11T22:08:38.719-07:002009-08-11T22:08:38.719-07:00What ward/stake are you in?

We've got of the best here. One only a few short miles away. I had visions of season passes and hours every week spent there. It would be great. <br />Of course I failed to think about the fact that I would be pregnant or nursing a baby every summer. So my dream of hours of every week spent riding roller coasters is on hold for now.Jeanettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17311918064009586996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-273175002472753405.post-86569688912848247472009-08-11T09:38:50.395-07:002009-08-11T09:38:50.395-07:00So I just popped over from your post at Mormon Mom...So I just popped over from your post at Mormon Mommy Blogs--which by the way was HILARIOUS!! <br /><br />You have a great blog!!

Rob decided to splurge and get passes to Lake Compounce and since it's only a 15 minute drive from our house we've been able to go for a couple of hours here and there instead of having to devote a big, tiring day to it. It's worked out great and we've all had a blast. Rob's all sad that we're going on vacation next week so this week is his last chance really to go for the year.
