I drove there with my Mom and the boys and it went really well. It was a 6hr car ride and we stopped twice so Jackson could eat and we could all stretch our legs. We had gotten a DVD player for the car as a gift, and it came in handy - Colin watched Finding Nemo 3 times on the way there and loved every second of it.
Friday we braved the heat and headed to Six Flags. Surprisingly, both boys did great. Colin had a blast riding kiddie rides and running around Wiggles World. Jackson just seemed to like being outside and slept almost the whole day away and even slept through the night by not waking up until 6am, which was a nice break!
Scott came there on Saturday (he had just gotten home from Texas Friday night), so that day we hung out at the pool, then went to Ryan's house for dinner and out for ice cream.
Sunday we went to the best kid's restaurant ever - StoneFire Pizza Co. (their main website is down, but you can see pics here). This restaurant needs to be a national chain because it was incredible. Not only is it a salad, pizza, & ice cream buffet, but they have different rooms to eat in, depending on your mood (or age) - they have a quiet dining room, a sports room, a movie room (which was playing Finding Nemo), and a discovery play room (which had different toddler activities). We ate in the movie room so Colin could watch more Finding Nemo, which of course distracted him from eating LOL Then we headed to the discovery play room where Colin was able to climb, go down slides, play with legos, a water table and a train table, and a giant play kitchen. We didn't think we'd be able to get him out of that restaurant! But 4hrs later, we did ;-) Oh, and did I mention they also had a game room where you could play games and ride some small rides? Yeah, it was a great time!
The hotel we stayed in had a huge toddler pool with a frog slide and 2 fountains, so that kept Colin busy when we were there. He loves being in the water, so anytime he got crabby, we just took him to the pool!
And now it's time for picture overload -

How'd you get him to run in circles without the Go Diego Go video on? LOL!!
The Wiggles songs were playing - that gets him going just as good as Diego ;)
