Oaks Park

Today I went to Oaks Park with Carson and mama-Itin and mama-Itin's mama. We had a blast! Here's what mama-Itin sent to mama and daddy after we got back and Carson and I passed out for naptime...

**********************

Totally fun time!!

First ride: Merry Go Round- Carson fine (not his first time), Ian started shaking and getting ready to melt down and would not ride the horse but he was content to sit in my lap.

Ride 1.5: Merry Go round- Again. Still no horse for Ian but happy in non-moving seat.

Second ride: Very loud and fast motorcycles: Carson fine, Ian not so sure. We didn't put him on it because once it starts you can't stop it to get him off. Didn't want him to get scared right off the bat. He did seem interested though.

Third ride: Cars. The boys got to sit side by side and each hold a steering wheel. They thought it was terrific!!

Fourth ride: Rockets. We faced them toward each other in different rockets so they could see each other. The ride went up and down. They loved it!!

Fifth ride: Crazy gyroscope boat that went back and forth higher and higher and then started spinning around. They loved it! My mom and I got to ride with them.

Sixth ride: Frog hopper. Straight up and then bounced down, twice. They loved it. I got to ride with them. Then the camera ran out of batteries. SORRY!

Seventh ride: The Roller Coaster. As we stood in line, the ride looked a little herky-jerky for lack of a better term. It actually looked like the riders were getting whiplash in one section. Our turn. I rode with Ian and my mom rode with Carson. The first up-hill and turn was fun. The first down-hill was fun. But then from behind me, I heard blood-curdling screaming. You would have thought we were on the Matterhorn at Disneyland. I looked back and it was coming from my mother. They were screams of glee with a touch of terror. It completely FREAKED Carson out. He lost it and was crying. I yelled at her to stop screaming. BAD NANA!!

Ian was screaming with laughter! He thought it was the best thing ever! Complete surprise for me. The ride actually lifted us out of our seats several times. I hung on to Ian's arm and Carson buried his face in my mom's armpit.

Eighth ride: CREEPY ride through a dark building with a moth eaten giant motorized bear and an Indian hanging from a chain. It was awful and we all wanted to get off it right away.

We hit the Merry go round one more time and Ian sat on a giant frog this time! He went up and down and said "up down up down" the whole time. Carson sat next to him on a giant rooster.

Finally we rode the train around the park. Best $12 I've ever spent ;-) We had a GREAT time! They are sound asleep now probably dreaming of thrills!
