We made our first trip to SDC this year last Wednesday! For the cold-weather loving Mama, it was the PERFECT day! There was a chance for rain so the park wasn't very busy and we all had to wear jackets!!! Ivan was pretty stoked about the whole day too.
Amos and I got in line for our first ride and were shocked to look up and see some of our favorite friends, the Edens!! Great minds think alike! If you look really closely you can spy Scout and Amos riding together on this one!
Amos was so brave this time! Here he is holding his hands up and riding without any of us. He's passed the height requirement that allows him on some rides by himself and gave him access to Powder Keg! I didn't get a picture of him riding it, but he was so brave. I thought he might need a little coaxing once we actually got to it, but he didn't. He waited through the line and just got on the ride. There was a moment where the ride was building to it's next drop that he got a little worried, but he toughed it out. Then he was ready to ride it again later with Jason. In line, he told Jason, "Dad, I like it, but I don't like it too." Jason said that pretty much sums up how he feels about roller coasters.
Ivan is about an inch shy of getting to ride the bigger, little kid rides, so he had to be super patient most of the day. He did a great job and always had a HUGE smile on his face while riding the ones he could. We road the several at fireman's landing and he kept telling me how it tickled his tummy!
The two older boys didn't mind doing these rides because they got to ride all by themselves!
Conrad spent most his time here. He doesn't look too happy, but he was drifting off to sleep! He continues to do a great job just roaming around with us.
At the end of the day, we all spent time on the carousel and even got Conrad on it.
Then Silas decided he was ready to try Thunderation. We had tried to get him on it at the beginning of the day, but he wasn't quite sure about it then. He needed some time to warm up to it. We walked down to watch him wait for his ride.
And we ended our time with the butterflies and jumping frogs. The place was pretty much cleared out by now so we just kept jumping on the rides. Conrad was serious the whole time, but inside he had a blast!
Of course, we can't wait for our next trip!
