Our first stop was something familiar and fun--the carousel. Ella picked a huge red bunny and Lucy was on a pink and purple horse.
Next stop: the train station. The conductor was a little crazy, but the girls loved every second of the train ride around the park!
Nora, Sophia, Ella, and Lucy
After a picnic lunch, we rode every singe kiddie ride available...a few of them twice. We started with some ladybugs...
...then moved on to another set of ladybugs.
Ella was especially pleased on this ride because she had "passengers." There were 2 girls sitting behind her in the ladybug and she loved that she was their driver!
The boats were next. They were awesome because they were really in water. Both Lucy and Ella decided Daddy would be happy that they drove a boat just like he was doing in Canada.
Race cars! Ella picked red so she could be Lightning McQueen and said "Kachow!" while she was driving. Lucy did great with the steering...the steering wheel actually lets kids zoom in and out while they are driving around the circle. Sweet.
The best ride of the day: the airplanes. Not only did they go around in a circle, but they went up into the air as well.
Ella was a little bit scared of one of the planes that had an angry face painted on it, but for the second ride, she HAD to drive the angry plane and she loved it!
Lucy was really bummed out when this little girl (who was so excited to share the car with Lucy)sat next to her. Even though they have their own steering wheel, there is only one rope to pull to ring the obnoxious bell. Lucy was a really good sport and had fun anyway, but we had to ride these cars again so she could have the bell all to herself.
The swings were great--just like the grown-up version, but slower. It looked so relaxing I wished I could have gone on with the girls.
The pony rides were a hit--Lucy chose Babe.
Ella chose Willy.*
After our very full day, we drove back to Shawano to get ready for the guys to come home. We had a little Welcome Home party and stayed up to hear stories about the trip!
