We were so blessed to get 2 free tickets to Fiesta Texas this summer through the Read to Succeed Program! This is a program where the child’s reading ours are logged, and, if they read a certain number of hours, they get a ticket to the park. Because we homeschool, the teacher gets a ticket too.
This year was extra-special since we met up with Reef’s good friends for the day! He had such a blast with Ethan and the Crafton boys, and it was nice for me to have some company too.
Our trip was on a Thursday, which was SOOO much better than last year’s Friday trip! We never waited in line for more than 20 minutes!
About mid-day, we all splurged on the unlimited refill Slurpee boot. Ummm, can I just tell you that Reef was IN.LOVE? This was his first caffeinated drink experience, and I had to fight him for a taste! (This came back to haunt him when he was still awake at midnight struggling to sleep because of the caffeine.)
We got to the park right when it opened and actually stayed until it closed! We spent a few hours at the waterpark too, and Reef got to see his first fireworks as we headed to the car.
Let me tell you, this kid isn’t afraid of anything. If he was tall enough, he rode the ride. He wore his “tall” shoes throughout the park to bump him up to the 48 inch mark; thankfully it worked! It was a closer call in the water park, but we got lenient lifeguards everytime they made him get measured!
We had a great day together and can’t wait for Jonas to join us next year!
