A lot of the rides were for Lilly to ride on alone. We didn't have any idea how Lilly would handle riding a ride alone (and staying seated) so we started with the Dumbo ride together. It sort of scared me. When did I become such a wimp? I didn't like when it went up high.
Then we put Lilly on the boats by herself. She started out really enjoying it but by the end she was upset and we think they stopped the ride early because she was crying. Not sure if she got upset because she was scared or if it's because I told her she couldn't drag her hand outside of the boat into the water...
She loves horses but was also unsure of the merry-go-round. Andy stood next to her for the ride while I, like a big jumbalone, sat on a huge horse that didn't even go up and down with nowhere for my feet to go. It was hysterically ridiculous.
Ok, so I knew Andy would try to get me on the ferris wheel. It is H-U-G-E. I didn't want to go. Again, I was afraid on Dumbo. Andy knew I was scared but he really really wanted us to go on it so I gave in. BIG MISTAKE. Here is how Andy felt on the ferris wheel...
Here is how I felt...
You'd have to talk to Andy in person to get the real story but I'll tell you this. I almost had a heart attack - literally. Andy will vouch. He claims it was a panic attack that I experienced. I say I was dying. All I know is the minute I sat on that jail-like contraption and it started moving I felt dizzy, disoriented, and afraid for my life. I couldn't move. I was paralyzed. I couldn't look anywhere. I begged Andy not to move or laugh because he was shaking the cart. I tried my hardest to act cool for Lilly's sake...
But I will tell you this (and make my word on it) - I will not go on another ferris wheel for the rest of my life. This one was huge I tell ya! Look how high we went!
Safely on the ground and cruisin' the boardwalk. We ate dinner and looked in some shops.
Lilly was really funny on the rides. She wasn't sure how she felt. We saw this face many many times. Andy says it's her "I'm not sure how I feel" face. We thought she was going to cry and then she was alright. So we did all the other rides together. *The dolphin she's clutching Andy won for her in an arcade!
Yay! Sliding down a slide with Daddy behind her. She liked this obstacle course that involved climbing. Went on it twice with Andy.
Family shot. It was a beautiful evening. I can't wait to go back.
We ended the night with some ice cream as the sun set. It was time to head home since it was already past Lilly's bedtime. She rode the whole hour home and fell asleep a mile from our house!
