Happy Birthday Callahan 7 months late

Fright Night at Great America

Callahan turned 10 on March 16, 2009. For his 

party he wanted to bring a couple buddies to Great America.

By the time GA opened for the season we were well into

baseball season...for the next 7 months. One thing

led to another and before we knew what hit us, it

was Oct. and the kid still didn't get his party

Cal's party began on Saturday with 3 friends 

sleeping overnight. They spent the evening eating

and playing video games on the big screen 

Sunday we hit the road by 9am, what a perfect day for

Great America! I found if you order tickets online they are 1/2 price

they also have the Flash Pass which allows you to

bypass all lines for the top thrill rides...Well worth the extra cash.

The park wasn't real crowed to begin with so all

non roller coaster rides had a 0-10 min wait

Seriously, they really don't come any cuter than Karrick

always the show stopper

love this picture of Scooby protecting or

trying to steal Karrick

All my boys

TJ won the cape for Karrick. He played the guess my 

weight game. The guy guessed 155 lbs...way off

TJ was 122 lbs. Being  5' 8"  is deceiving

because TJ is all leg, with small bones and 

broad shoulders. Throw on a sweatshirt and jeans

and no one can guess. He played it again when a new guy

took over and this guy guessed 154 lbs. Mommy got a 

pretty purple bat woman cape...thanks TJ





way too tired to change or get his blanket and pillow 
from the basement


Happy Birthday Callahan
