Adventureland 2012

We spent a fun filled day at Adventureland thanks to Dance Marathon. Each summer we take them up on the offer to take our family there and feed us lunch. We get to see some of our cancer family friends, but really with how spread out the park is, we end up on our own most of the time.
Some highlights from this years trip.
Corrine, Simeon & dad went on the Space shot for their 1st ride, so Ammon and Rebecca went on the Frogger.
Verdict: Corrine LOVED Space shot and went on it again with dad later on. Simeon decided once was enough. Ammon liked the Frogger, but he's getting too big for it, and Rebecca was scared to death on it!! She had a death grip on the ride and she wanted NOTHING to do with going on it again!!

Puff the Magic Dragon, the airplanes and The Semi's were more her kind of ride. The big kids were all so willing to be her big rider on these rides which meant we got to take pictures and mom & dad got to avoid some much undesired dizziness!

Dad was a awesome dad and said he'd go on a ride that flew you in circles for a few minutes and he paid for it the rest of the day! Poor guy, but great dad!

This year all the big kids were tall enough to go on the Himalaya. They got on and settled with smiles on their faces and then the ride began. Simeon got smooched, Corrine was laughing, Ammon had terror on his face a few times, but they all had fun. They just weren't expecting the ride to slow down like it was ending and then to start back up for another full ride. Simeon was alittle dizzy afterwards. Corrine doesn't know what dizziness is. She went on the Silly Silo 3 times today after all these other dizziness invoking rides and was perfectly fine. She didn't get that from either of her parents!!

Since we had a few of us feeling dizzy we thought some water time would be a good idea. We played in waterpark for a few hours. Rebecca had a great time on the pirate boat kids area, the big kids loved the wavepool and the lazy river was so nice a warm. They added the wavepool and pirate play area this year so the waterpark area is really big. It's a whole waterpark within Adventureland.
The only bummer about today was that the park closed at 8pm, not 10 pm like we're used to. Much to dad's sadness and mom's excitement we didn't get to ride the Ferris wheel. Oh bummer!!
