lollipop park

Yesterday Grandma came over to spend some time with the kids and then to go with us to lollipop park.  She brought over her sewing machine to help Cate fix her Cinderella dress and then they made a blanket for her doll Lanie.  

Lollipop park is an indoor carnival for young kids.  There were a bunch of different rides for the kids to go on.  At the place they only run one ride at a time and then all of the kids get off that ride and head to the next one.  So for 2 hours the kids went from ride to ride to ride.  They had a blast.  At first they weren't too sure about the rides so Grandma and I went on them with them.  Once they were used to the rides they wanted to go by themselves.  Here are some pictures from all of the rides:

They had a ferris wheel and you got to ride in hot air balloons.  Cate rode with Grandma the first time and Ashton was in with me.

Next were the tea cups.  Grandma and Mommy both told the kids that we didn't want to spin fast.  Some of the kids in the other cups were spinning so fast.

Cate and I rode together

Next was the Whip it ride.  It's name explains the ride well.  Cathy and I weren't too sure if they kids would like it but there were a bunch of other little kids going on it.  So we went for it and put the kids on the ride.  They giggled so much on this ride.  They really enjoyed it.

Here is a video of the kids on the "whip it" ride

The next ride was the train.  Ashton was dying to go on the train.  He had a hard time waiting until it was time for the train.  They got to ride in the caboose and loved it.  

On the next go around they did the rides together without Mommy or Grandma.  I love seeing them in the tea cup together.

On the whip it ride again.  (By this point I was getting dizzy just watching them go on the rides)

Here they are on the carousel.  Ashton looks so thrilled :)

At the end Ashton decided that he wanted to go in the hot air balloon without Mommy or Grandma.  

It was a lot of fun to take the kids to Lollipop park.  They had so much fun!
