Roller Coaster Baby

As we were driving to dinner one of the evenings that we went out (most nights we cooked and ate in), my mom noticed a Fun Park with go-carts, bumper cars, bungee jumping, and other things of that sort. They also had an arcade though, and a small area of 'kiddie rides' and she really wanted to take the kids and let them ride one or two. Steve and I felt like Lilly would probably enjoy this, but it would be a long shot to get Carson on much and the only thing I felt Clara was big enough for was the carousel (she would have never stayed sitting in the other rides without one of us next to her, and we weren't allowed on them.). We all decided we'd go and try it nonetheless. Mom and Dad bought enough tickets for each of the kids to ride two things, so we tried the train first. We pretty much hit the nail on the head with our predictions. For a moment, we thought Carson might ride the train, but he was still a little intimidated by it. Lilly really made out with this deal though. Since Carson and Clara only rode the carousel, Lilly got to use all the other tickets and got on the train, carousel, swings and small ferris wheel. She LOVED it! We really thought she might lose her dinner on the swings going round and round, but luckily she didn't. Steve was especially excited that she enjoyed them all so much with his love for amusement parks. He is having visions of taking trips back to his old stomping ground at Kings Dominion to share it with her I'm sure. Though we were hesitant at first to go, I'm so glad we did and that she had such a great time!
