Santa Cruz

Monday we headed to Santa Cruz with my parents for a quick little getaway! It was so nice since we havent been able to do much since I got hurt. Basically all our summer plans got tossed out the window so this was so nice and so much fun! The weather was perfect and the kids were sooo good :)

Shelby spotted the "Willy" ride while we were standing in line buying ride bracelets and wanted to ride him first! This was her first ride without me or jimmy....we werent sure how she would do. It started and by the second round she was screaming "I no like this" we were cheering for her and trying to stop laughing but it was pretty funny! She wasnt crying she just kept yelling...shes such a trooper and stayed on til it was over. When she got off we all gave her high fives and cheered at what a big girl she was and that seemed to settle her right down. I thought for sure she would be done with rides tho..... I was wrong! She loved the boat ride, the cars, and this pepsi train they had...she even rode them without sister! (sister went and rode the scary haunted house ride with papa joe) She definately got her money's worth riding these over and over!

putting her hands up

on the cars...she loved beeping the horn

she wouldnt even look at us she was so serious about driving that car!

This was another funny story! So shelby loves rding horses and talked about riding them the whole trip...well we headed to the carousel and they have a big clown on the wall and a ring dispenser that kids can pull rings and toss them in the clown mouth while riding the carousel...Shelby caught a glimpse of the clown and that was all she wrote. She wouldnt even sit on the horse so her and my mom had to settle for a bench in which she said she didnt like it the w.h.o.l.e. time (my poor mom) she was terrified of the clown. I have no idea where this fear came from as she has never even seen a clown before then...but they pretty much terrified her anytime she saw one the whole day.

We had so much fun...even tho I had to sit in the wheelchair all day and Jimmy had to push me around...we definately cant wait to go back when im all healed up. Thanks mom and dad for a fantastic day!

ps..the potty traing is almost over! Shelby has been doing so awesome and all day in santa cruz never had one accident and peed on the big toilets every time!! She is AWESOME!
