Amusement Park Time!

Tuesday, July 1st!

I think I've mentioned before that we like to go to Oak's Park in the summer. They have this awesome "Toddler Time" on Tuesdays and Wednesdays in the morning, so we like to go have fun with all the other little kiddos in town!

Caitlin loves this Lewis and Clark ride. It's a little scary inside as it is very dark, and some of the pieces inside are pretty banged up and old. BUT, she always wants to go on this ride, at least twice.

Cody even got to go once!

We also really like the carousel. Caitlin wanted to go on a zebra!

We went on the tiger that doesn't go up and down. I think Cody enjoyed his first ride, especially because it's somewhat breezy and he likes that feeling on his face!

Caitlin also really enjoys this motorcycle ride. Once the ride starts, each kid has a button in front of him/her that makes a pretty annoying BUZZZZZZZZZZZ sound and they each hold their finger on it the entire ride! Sheesh! I'm always glad when the time is up!

Caitlin has been going to this place for going on three years! I wish we had taken pictures in front of this sign every year, but of course we don't have any other pictures to show.


Here she is on the car ride! (I used to love rides like this when I was young. Who doesn't enjoy pretending to drive when you are too young to drive?)

Here she is on the plane ride. I'm not sure what the purpose is for those pretend guns???? This amusement park is quite old though. Maybe it's left over from WWII?

Ahhh, the frogger ride. She always wants to go on this ride. It's pretty slow and easy for the little people, but an adult can ride in the middle seat. I've never ridden it, but I think I will at some point this summer.


Lastly, here we are waiting to get on the balloon ride. This ride basically just goes up into the air and around in a few circles and then comes down. BUT, you can spin it around in your own little circle and that makes me a little queasy. I don't know when I got this weak stomach, but I sure didn't have it when I was younger!

Hopefully, there will be more photos in future blogs about this place. There are still some rides we need to get shots of, and hopefully, we can get Caitlin on the big slide and maybe the roller coaster one more time!
