Summer Vacation Part 3: July 5th

July 5th was my dad's birthday so to celebrate he treated us all to Six Flags Discovery Kingdom and dinner afterwards. :)

 Kohen had been so excited for weeks to see real whales. (You'd have to hear him say whale..once again cute) But those aren't tears of fear. No. This kid was upset because he couldn't go swimming with the whale. I don't know how much candy and snacks we whipped out to try to get him content. Then when he saw that the whale ate fish he decided to share his goldfish with the whale and started hucking them (hitting the people in front of us). The poor kid just couldn't win. 

All he wanted was to swim with the whale and feed it.

Here's Kohen telling daddy he was going to share his fish with the whale.

 Kohen hadn't been getting enough sleep and was pretty emotional most of the time.

He cried the whole time in line for the train. And he cried once we got on the train since the little boy behind us decided to randomly whack Kohen's arm hard. I must have accidentally deleted the photo of Kohen glaring at the kid behind us the whole time. It was a crack up. 

But once he got on with daddy he was much better and even put his hands in the air like a roller coaster pro.

 He was happy on the carousel too. That is until the end when he went to cheer "woohoo" and conked his head on the pole. haha

 Kohen's favorite movie for months on end was Happy Feet. He loved penguins and still thinks that all penguins dance. These penguins were so cute and were totally interacting with Kohen. They'd swim all around him and stay right up against the glass and follow him. Kohen apparently liked them too because he would kiss them through the glass and get territorial when another kid would try to squeeze in.

 The walruses were full of personality as well. Kohen liked them but because the water was so murky sometimes they'd pop up out of no where which scared Kohen a little.

Kohen was still quite the trooper. He made lots of friends with kids while we waited for others to ride rides. "Papa" even bought us the biggest snow cones you have ever seen! Seriously, these suckers were the size of a ball. AND you got to put on your own syrup. 

We had so much fun!
