Seems that I need to keep these posts to four pictures or less, but there was too much to share from the Canobie trip to fit in just one post. So, this is part two of the day at the park, and we pick up just after lunch...
Finally we have a picture of Lauren doing one of her favorite things... running free! All hopped up on sugar from the Hoodsie ice cream desert nonetheless. The catered lunch was good, or at least as good as you would hope for given the nature of amusement park catering. But hey... what kid wouldn't be happy with hot dogs and ice cream?
Next up is another picture of Max smiling. It looks like he's enjoying the "hang on Mommy's leg" ride, so it's easy for him to be happy. He is also all hopped up on Hoodsies.
The third photo is one of the few I got of the two kids together. I think Max is explaining to Lauren why he needs to be the one to ring the bell in the boat. I guess that's part of the captain's responsibility.
In the last photo we again see Max smiling on the helicopter ride. This time I know the ride hasn't start yet. He looked much more concerned once it started moving, and even more so when it went up in the air. It didn't help any that the centrifugal force was making him slide to the outside and towards the open side of the ride. I guess that strappy thing they call a safety belt wasn't as comforting as the five-point harness he gets in his car seat.
There were many other rides that both kids enjoyed that I didn't get photos of. We all went on the Sky Ride, where Mom and Lauren mostly looked nervous. We all rode on the "kiddy" Dragon roller coaster too and that was a lot of fun. (The "kiddy" designation must mean no big drops, loops, or inversions, but it still moved fast and slammed us through some tight spirals. Yee Haa!)
I think we are all looking forward to going back next year when each of the kids a little bit bigger. I know I am!
