End of spring break weekend

We had a long but fun weekend! Six flags discovery kingdom re opened for the season on Saturday. Even though the weather suggested a 30% chance of rain we went ahead. The skies were gloomy but it was dry and not too cold. The big kids and I even went on the water ride a few times :) then around 3:30 it sprinkled for a second and then the sky opened up and let loose on us. First it hailed, then it poured!!! Jared and the big kids were on a covered ride while I was scrambling to cover the stroller and gets Chars coat on. With us soaking wet and cold we ran to the cover of the dolphin show and I called and reserved a room at Travis afb near by. We got to our room and all got nice warm showers and baths and went to bed for much needed sleep. We went then rudely woken by the fire alarm in the hotel going off! So in the middle of the night we grabbed up the kids and walked down 4 flights of stairs! We sat in the car waiting to get back in and eventually carried the kids back up 4 flights of stairs and back to bed. Then.... As if we weren't tired and crazy enough..... We went back to discovery kingdom on Sunday! The plus side of the weekend was that there were not a lot of people there. We went on tons of rides and saw lots of shows. Many rides we did not even have to get off before riding a second time.
