Fun on the Rides!

The mall near our house had its annual Victoria Day concourse, with some rides and games, etc. We thought it would be fun to take Andrea for her first experience on amusement rides. As we expected, she loved it--she only got upset because she was too little to go on ALL the rides!

Uncle Chuck and Brig were spending the day with us, so they came to go on the rides, too. It worked out well--Brig was just small enough, and Andrea was just big enough, to go on the kiddie rides. :))

Like I said, the only time Andrea really got upset was when she couldn't go on the ferris wheel with Daddy and Brig. She tried to climb up the gate, and she cried for Dada! Then, Uncle Chuck picked her up, and got her to wave and yell "Hi!" when Daddy and Brig came around. So, that amused her for a bit.

Then, Daddy took Andrea on the strawberries ride. It's pretty tame, unless you turn the wheel in the middle. So, of course, Daddy turned the wheel as hard as he could, the second time they went on the ride!



By the way, Andrea's not upset in the picture above (she was laughing): she just got squished because Daddy had it spinning so fast!

Next, Andrea and Brig went on a couple of rides together. They went on the cars . . .

. . . and then on the bug's life ride.

After that, Uncle Chuck and Brig had to head home. We had a few ride tickets left, so we gave Andrea two more turns on the car ride. Although she loved them all, she seemed to enjoy this one the most. We put her on a fire truck, and then in a classic car.

Needless to say, after all the excitement, she was quite happy to have a bath and go right to sleep, when we got home.

By the way, here's an unrelated, but cute picture of Andrea from about 2 weeks ago. I was trying to get her to pose in her new outfit that Gram and Grandpa G. got her ("everyone loves a blue-eyed girl"), but she wanted to DANCE! :)) Generally, she's a big singer, and hardly ever dances. I guess she was just in the mood. :))
