Angela's sister Heather visited us from Las Vegas (the NV one not the NM Las Vegas) and we decided to spend one of the days at Cliff's Amazement Park (as the radio commercial calls it) in Albuquerque. The first ride the younger kids wanted to ride was the log ride. Angela had to stay behind with Travis to finish some homework so Brian rode with Marcus and Heather rode with Lucas. I don't think the boys quite knew how scary it would be on the downhill. However they did have fun. Here's Heather and Lucas coming in at the end of the ride.
Our kids always enjoy the bumper cars. Unfortunately Marcus was too young to ride on his own so he rode with Lucas. Apparently they didn't read the "One Way" sign in the background.
Here's Lucas and Marcus again on a small race car ride.
Cliffs also has a water park that we spent some time at. The water was VERY cold though.
Brian and Marcus basically stayed long enough to get this photo taken before exiting the water area.
We have determined that Lucas is our brave child. He was the only one willing to ride one of the real roller coasters with Heather and Mom. Here they are clinging for life as they round a sharp turn (obviously for Heather this was simply like leisurely driving around a corner in the neighborhood). Brian was the designated "stay with the scaredy cat boys parent"since he gets motion sickness on these kinds of rides.
Here's a family photo at the end. It was quite a fun place.
Finally, here's a video of Travis and Heather who rode the log ride just before leaving the park. You gotta love Travis' response after the ended.
