I found some discount tickets to a local mini amusement park-- I thought it would be fun for the girls to ride some little rides. It was a little rinky-dinky, and was short-staffed the first 45 minutes after they opened, but I think we had enough fun to make it worth it. At the beginning, there were only two staff members out, so they rotated which rides were in operation. Since there were only 3 or 4 families there it worked out ok. The girls got their fill of rides with minimal waiting in line in the 3 hours we were there!
The airplane ride was a favorite, although I'm not sure Cora and Violet ever did figure out how to make their plane go up and down. Kevin did the boat ride with Violet, who burst into tears the first time she got squirted, so they ended early. Cora and I got drenched going under a waterfall--at least it was at the beginning so I had plenty of time to dry off! I think Violet's favorite was this boat that swung back and forth. But she also loved the rollar coaster too. I think this ride was Cora's favorite. It was quite jolting-- but she had the biggest smiles the whole time. Violet said she wanted to go on it, so I went with her, and she cried after the first bump til the end.
We all did multiple rides on the carousel too, which was fun. Bonus? the girls both slept 12 hours straight that night.
