what an adventure!

Had a grand play date at an amusement park today! There were 7 moms and 9 kids in our entourage. The kids ran around and went on so many rides I lost count. The moms got a chance to visit in between escorting the little ones between the rides. The weather was great and the lines were short.

There were a few teary moments. The princess was too short to go on a water ride w/o an adult. She tried the tippy toes thing without success and was sent off the line. Although she's the oldest of the group, she's the smallest and not very accepting of it. I can't help it that she's the offspring of vertically challenged parents. She recovered quickly from her disappointment when she saw the younger sibling of one of the kids who was smaller than she was. She personally escorted him on several rides when she realized this. Her new BFF. She started asking for a little brother,again.

I get to hear that daily. Each evening she recites "Star light,star bright, the first star I see tonight...I wish for a big brother,a big sister,a medium brother, a medium sister, a little brother, a little sister, a puppy, kitten and a gold fish." She might get the fish, but after what happened to Sluggo I'm not so sure about that anymore.

Later in the day I decided to take them both on rides that they couldn't go on alone. The Ferris wheel and the water ride I mentioned earlier. I sat in the rear, the princess was in front of me and the little guy was in the front,unaware of what awaited him towards the end of the ride;an unexpected shower! Pool little guy wasn't the happiest camper.

We talked,we ate,we laughed and the kids had a great time too! Can't wait for our next adventure.
