Lighting the tree at Six Flags Discovery Kingdom

This morning mama and dada told me they had a surprised planned for the day. I love surprises!  It usually means something fun!

We loaded everyone, including Tachi, into the van and started driving.  When I woke up we were near Ethan's house!  After a quick stop to pick up lunch, we arrived at Ethan's...except no one was there but Liberty.  Strange...nut then I realized don't need to share the train table! 

After lunch we got back into the car to meet up with grandma, grandpa, uncle jeff, auntie jeanette and ethan. Where? At Six Flags Discovery Kingdom!  I was fascinated by the really, really big roller coaster.  But I decided that I just liked to watch people ride it.

Ethan and I rode the rides in the little kid area. I rode the kiddie roller coaster, flew an airplane and a helicopter, and rode a yellow submarine. Grandpa, Ethan, Mama and I also rode a spinning, hot air balloon ride. Mason even got in the act.  He rode the merry-go-round for the first time! I don't think he liked it very much because part way through, he tried to climb off.

We also walked through a tunnel where we saw sharks and sting rays. I went through the tunnel twice!

There was also a snow hill. I've never seen real snow before. So, we decided to check it out. People were sledding down the hill. It looked like lots of fun, so dada, me, uncle jeff and ethan hopped in line. Mason fell asleep in the stroller, so he missed out.  You snooze; you lose. I loved sledding down the hill. I was laughing the entire time.  I had so much fun that mama and dada are talking about taking me and Mason to a snow park. Anyone want to come with?

If you thought my surprise was playing with Ethan at Six Flags, you're wrong. Turns out uncle Jeff and our family were special guests at the tree lighting ceremony. I got to flip the switch to light the gigantic tree inside the park. How cool is that?! While we watched the singers from the stage, uncle jeff and dada kept reminding me not to touch the switch until it was time. Do you know how hard that was for me?! But I listened!

After the tree was lit, we took a family picture with Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck. Can you tell that Mason wasn't very impressed or excited about the tree lighting?

Thanks for hooking us up auntie jeanette! I had a great time!
