Elitch Gardens

Brylinns and I were lucky enough to get to spend a lot of time this summer with Beth at Elitch Gardens.  We got season passes for practically nothing and went as often as we could. Most of our days were centered about Brylinn and the rides she could enjoy, but Beth and I would also take turns and ride the roller coaster.

The first ride when you walk into the park is a carousal, which happens to be one of Brylinns favorite. So it was always the first couple rides of the day and the last few rides before we left.  Her most favorite ride though was the haunted house where you got to hold a laser gun and shoot the ghosts that popped out at you.  I thought for sure the first time we rode it she would be crying in the first 5 seconds, but she wasn't.  As soon as the ride was over she said, "again, again".  That happened about 300 more times over the course of the summer.  The workers of the ride began to know her name and said she was their favorite rider.

Waiting in the lines was not Brylinns strong suit, but she always found a way to keep busy. 

 

Beth and I found time to ride our favorite ride a few times.  It was so crazy to go up there all alone though. The more people you ride it with the better.  One day Cody got to come with us and all three of us rode it while a friend watched Brylinn.  We went up sooo much higher with the weight from all three of us. 

 

Toward the end of the summer my friend Charlee, Jessica and her family joined us one day a few days before Jessicas wedding.  It was a lot of fun to be able to go there with such a big group.  

 

Every trip was so fun, next year Brylinn will be older and able to do so much more.  Although Beth wont be there so it just wont quite be the same.
