For their first car ride (7+ hours) the kids did really well! We bought new DVD players that they had never seen before. We borrowed some movies from the library, but ultimately the movies we borrowed from our friend Andrea were the biggest hit. Actually I should say "the movie" since they insisted in watching "The Backyardigans" over and over and well, over again! I got them to watch "Mickey Mouse Clubhouse" once, but the requests kept coming for their favorite show!
The next day we just hung out at Papa Ron and Grandma Shannon's house. The kids had been shuffled around for 4 days and were completely off any sort of schedule. So we just let them be in one place and it did everyone some real good. They took long afternoon naps and even started eating better, which made Mommy feel much more relaxed as well. Poor Brian was still feeling pretty bad, what a trooper we have for a Daddy!
Thursday after a nice day relaxing and getting back to health, we spent the afternoon in Folsom. First we went to "Fairytale Town" which is a cute park-like place with different attractions based on famous fairytale rhymes. We rode the Little Engine that Could, saw Old Mac Donald's farm and the 3 Little Pigs, and played on tons of other fun stuff!
Maggie was so funny around other little kids. They were all sitting inside the Little Indians' tepee and she came in and just took a seat with all the other kids.
There was this really cool tunnel slide
And of course Mother Goose
Next we went to "Funderland" which is a mini-amusement park.
We drove cars!
Maggie rode a fish ride. It went up and down in a circle and she loved it!
She also rode a roller coaster!
Jack opted out. He has his Daddy's stomach and stays away from fast rides.
"Funderland" was FUN!

By this time we were all feeling so much better! Just in time for San Francisco!
