It has been a while since our last visit to Happy Hollow. It was so much fun to go again this week with Jess, Aidan, and Bailey. The kids had a ton of fun, and I loved watching Mia really enjoy this special place for the first time. She was able to explore, ride most of the rides, and even cried in protest when we had to get off of some of them. Her favorite, no surprise: visiting the animals.
Luke really rose to his nearly four-year-old status. He was as brave as I've ever seen him - riding all of his favorites, trying new ones that Aidan suggested, and choosing (insisting) that he ride alone on the roller coaster with Aidan - and in the very front car at that(!). Luke really enjoying hanging with big boy Aidan ... and Aidan is really sweet to him.
A ride on the carousel to start off the day
Next up: the roller coaster. Here are the boys standing in line to wait to get on. The operator must have measured Luke 3 times to be sure he was tall enough to ride alone - he was...just barely
Danny the Dragon train ride - both Mia and Bailey wanted to stay on for another ride.
Some time to run around the playground area ... and for Bailey to slide, slide, slide
Bailey and Mia cruising in the fire truck
The ladybug ride. Bailey ended up riding alone on this one since Mia threw a little fit and wouldn't sit in it ... and then she spent the rest of the ride moaning at the gate to be let in (so typical)
Exhaustion is beginning to set in
Luke had never been on these before, but after just a little instruction from Aidan, he was cruising around the track. Thanks, Aidan!
After a lunch break we visited the zoo. Monkeys were the favorite.
