Since Aruba was moved to July this year, we decided to head for our annual New Hampshire outing in August. We made it to our usual hotel and the kids were ready to get going to
Storyland.
First stop in
Storyland was the ball pit and Emily was so excited to have her very own place to play.
The boys were leaping and jumping into the ball pit - they could clear halfway across the pit.
Connor is quite the little man now. He even goes on rides all by himself now that he is tall enough. Garrett has become adventurous too and tried out all the rides.
Unfortunately, Emily and I had to sit a couple of rides out but we found places to practice walking and even a fun train ride to keep us busy.
There was one game in particular that all the kids loved. The object of the game is to throw this big ball into three rows of buckets and the color of the bucket it settles in is the size of the prize you win. Emily thought this was easy.
Here we are relaxing on our train ride.
After the train ride, I managed to talk Connor and Garrett into going on the roller coaster. This will go down as the first year they tried the Polar Coaster. After the first ride, it became clear we were going to be riding it several more times before we left the park. Every good train ride and roller coaster excursion deserves an ice cream cone. This might be the one time all trip the boys sat perfectly still for any length of time.
The wooden shoes were a first time ride as well and the boys loved taking control of the movement of the shoes...Garrett had me bouncing out of my seat.
Our last adventure before saying goodbye to
Storyland was Connor and I going on the flume. I taught him Uncle Scott's trick of tucking himself in the front of the flume to avoid getting wet. Connor loved emerging from the ride perfectly dry, yet Mommy was definitely wet.
We spent a day and a half at
Storyland and we managed to have the best time. We were on so many rides and attractions it is hard to recount them all. We learned that Emily is a daredevil just like her brothers - going on rides like the Whirling Whale. Connor surprised us all by going on every ride in the park. Of course, Garrett loved the rides and all three love to win prizes. Can't wait to head back again next year.
