After showing up to an empty park (it hadn't opened yet) we took a walk around the neighborhood and stopped at a playground. When we went back the place was filled with people, the rides were going, kids were laughing and screaming. Millie ran in and was overwhelmed but it all. She started yelling "look what has happened! look what has happened!!" It was hilarious.
Mat got tokens and we started to towards her first ride! She had been eyeing this particular ride since we arrived at the park. It was a Disney knockoff and she knew exactly which car she wanted to be in. She got in there, and was pumped. Then they loaded up all the kids. Then they unloaded all the kids that started crying. Then they gave back the tokens to the parents who's kids flipped out. It was just too much waiting. Too much time to think about things and she was outta there. She started crying and wanted out. FAIL.
So we started with a ride that daddy could go on as well. The train was a great first ride for Millie and Milo. After that, she was determine to do everything!
Here she is riding the fire truck. If you listen, that is her honking the horn. And honking the horn behind her. She was having a ball. Note: the twins sitting in front of her who are literally frozen in fear. PS: the mom of the twins asked the girl operating the ride if she could "slow it down". She couldn't.
Next up, some sort of Bee ride that Millie and I went on together. Then she wanted to try the swings but came up less than an inch too short. After some tears, we hit up the carousel. Grandpa Jon rode with Milo and Mat with Millie. I was on stroller and picture patrol.
Another ride on the service truck of her dreams.
It took some convincing but finally she was ready for the Ferris Wheel. Milo stuck with Papa Jon while we all took a spin. It is amazing how quiet it is up there in the air. She took it all in.
Yes there was a very dramatic breakdown when we had to leave but we would totally go back! Millie loved it and I am sure Milo will too one day. I had a GREAT time capturing the kids having a blast. For the ages of our kids, it was the perfect activity.
