California's Great America

Abby interrupted me during my wonderful Sunday morning dream and told me that she wanted to go to Great America, a theme park in Santa Clara. It used to be Paramount's Great America, and now California's Great America. I woke up, looked at the bright sunshine outside, and told myself - why not?

The park is about 25 minute driving from our place. We applied the season pass like the last year. One thing I learned last year was that the season pass to a theme park close by is such a deal for the weekend when you often wonder what to do and where to take the kids to.

This year, Abby is tall enough to get on any ride. Last year, she suffered from the "not tall enough" syndrome and was unable to get on some rides that required the guest to be 54" or taller. I guess that she is getting taller after all, even though I cannot really tell.

Sometimes I don't really understand Abby. When it comes to games, rides, etc. Abby is quite adventurous and is really pushing the limits. But when it comes to study, learning, etc. it would take a team to convince her to try something outside the scope of what's been taught in the class.  Perhaps I just haven't found the right button to push yet.

It was a fun Sunday.  The perfect weather certainly helped a lot.
