12? Really..

Yes, in our last episode I noted E1 is 12.  He had a great evening at Worlds of Fun w/ our family and his friend Ms. A to celebrate.  A few things I learned from the day.
1) Some people just don't do heights. (Thanks dear husband, for making me go on the Detonator.  I love you too.)
2) Some people don't do jerky rides either.
3)  A room full of guns, vacuums,  and foam balls will keep kids of all ages occupied for-ev-er.
4) Planet Snoopy really can be fun for all ages.  Spinning birds nests, whiplash race cars....above mentioned ball battle area.
5) The fish smell of the viking voyager is still there.

On the more serious side, it's good to see Mr. E1 getting more confident, and able to assert what he does and doesn't like politely.  He's losing some of the self consciousness and gaining some self confidence.  Of course this leads to some "alpha wolf" moments with big brother, but I guess that's part of growing up too.
So here's a root beer toast w/ koala crisp crispy treats to growing up!
