Mark finished in the field
yesterday afternoon!! Wahoo, we had the girls youth party last night. This
morning, Mark suggested we have a family fun day. Honestly I was looking
forward to just being home for a day, but if Mark was game for having a special family day, I was all for it. So, with Mark's idea off to Adventureland in Des Moines we went. This was a first for our family. Jayden has been with her middle school band group one year. Myself, I had not been since 4H as a kid. It was a warm day but not too hot. The crowd wasn't too bad. Our first stop was the tea cups. I cannot ride anything without getting sick. We thought this would be a good ride to start Luke out on. The 4 of them sat in the tea cup and didn't even spin their cup. Just the action itself was enough for Luke's eyes to be huge and he was hanging on for dear life with a look of terror. That was supposed to be a mild ride. Most of the rides we would all watch from a distance but not dare to go on. We did the bumper cars which is the one ride I get to go on. That is a family favorite. Luke was kind of funny the whole day, he would get in line for a kiddie ride and at the last minute change his mind. We did get him to ride the sky lift chair rides a couple times. I am hoping that it will get him over his fear of chair lifts when we ski.
No water rides for us. We did a few rides, played some games, people watched, and ate ice cream. Wow, you really see it all when you people watch. It really frightens me to get out in the real world and see how people present themselves. It is quite sad. We finished the day with the slow train ride. It was fun, I enjoyed it, however crazy expensive ($40each) and I am ok if I don't go back again. After leaving, we went to Johnny's Italian steakhouse in Altoona for an amazing dinner. Jacob with his man appetite ordered a big meal and ate it all. It was a great day.
