kiddie rides and thrill seekers

It was Oak Grove family fun day at our local amusement park... What that meant for us was discounted tickets, shorter lines at the rides (because only schools were there on their field trips) and many run ins with J's classmates and their families.  During this trip, we learned a few things about our older kids...

Kyle- the thrill seeker!  He wanted to try every ride that he saw, except the very tall tower drop.  Unfortunately he was only tall enough for 2 of the bigger thrill rides.

Joshua- he got the motion sickness gene!  Not so much a thrill seeker, he would rather have his feet grounded on the gravel and throw baseballs to try to break plates that were hanging on the wall. 

Little J & C had a grandma fun day at home :). 

First stop: Kiddie Land!  We were one of the only ones there and the boys LOVED their first ride.

 So on to the next one, the bouncey 4X4 cars.

 They were confident to drive alone on this one.

 Something happened when the cars began bouncing... J shouted that his tummy hurt, do you see his death grip?  They stopped the ride early to let him off.

 It took a lot of convincing to get him on the bumper cars after that!

 What a great way to let out the brotherly frustration love!

 Kiddie ride with dad.

Enough of this kiddie stuff, Kyle is tall enough to ride a couple of big kid rides! 

 Ever since we walked in the doors, Kyle begged us to take him on the water ride...

 Weeeeee!  I thought he would be a bit scared but he was laughing all the way down!

 Now he was ready for the roller coaster... Waiting patiently.

 Here we go!

 Not an ounce of fear... He loved it (I was holding on pretty tight!). 

 When the ride was done, he was ready for more... Maybe next time he will be a bit taller to try some more rides.
