Dustin took the boys to a demolition derby tonight. While they were doing "boy stuff, " we girls had a night of fun of our own. We ventured over to Jungle Jim's Playland for a night of fun.
It had been a long time since we had been there, at least 3 years. Grace informed me that the rides were smaller and slower. I tried to remind her how much she has grown. Kate and Becca loved it. Grace too, once she decided to quit complaining and just have fun.
Their favorite ride was The Amazon. It is an indoor roller coaster that goes in circles, but really fast. They rode it over and over! They also really loved the bumper cars. It was nice to be able to sit on a bench and just watch them run. The building wasn't very busy and they hopped from ride to ride while I just sat.
The last ride of the night was a spinning ride. The ride operator was having fun spinning my girls as fast as he could. I was quite impressed with their tolerance for spinning. I get motion sickness so easily. Becca got off for a break looking rather green I asked her not to go on the ride again. Somehow I missed her getting back in line. She came back complaining her belly hurt. "Are you going to throw up?" I pointed her to the nearest trashcan. She made it just in time!
As she was walking away, she hurried to the trash once more. She almost made it. Some ended up in my purse that was on the ground because I was helping her the first time, the rest on the floor. Darnit!. Luckily, anything of value in my purse spilled onto the floor.
It was almost a perfect night. Next time, I think we'll skip the spinny- ride. The girls agreed.
