Wednesday we all woke up early and prepared for our day at The Great Escape. At 9am Uncle Russ and Aunt Jenn arrived with Amaya in the back seat of the car. We were ready to go except for waiting for Abuelo. He had to use the potty.

50 miles later we arrived at exit 20 on the New York State thruway and exited to the park. We parked our cars, and proceeded to the ticket booths. It was a sunny day and moderately warm in the sun. Once we had tickets in hand we went inside the park and rented two strollers. One for Aidan and Amaya and one for Declan. These strollers turned out to be the best investment of the day, save going to the park in the first place. Kids in strollers, maps in hand we set out to Storytown. Aidan and Amaya immediately jumped out of their ride to investigate the small houses that were everywhere. After the houses everyone went to the rides in Ghostown and other parts of the park. Towards the end of the day Mama, Papa, Uncle Russ and Aunt Jenn took a ride on the Comet. Apparently this was the number one rated rollercoaster in the United States at one time. It was originally built in 1948 and used in Ottowa, Canada. Why does Papa know all this? Because he had some time waiting to get on the ride and there was sign across from the waiting line.

All in all the whole group was at the park until 5pm. Everyone had a full day of sun and was ready for the drive home. On the way home we stopped at Donald's (McDonalds). We left with our bellies full and some of us fell asleep on the way home (all the kids: Declan, Amaya and Aidan&#8212;called it a night).

The whole group had a very fun day with a little bit of sunburn for some.
