rocking on
Last Thursday was so tiring. But also really fun.
We drove to Bay Beach in Green Bay. This is about a two hour drive. My cousin, RJ, wonderfully agreed to help me out chasing the kids from ride to cotton candy. It opens at 10. We got there at 10. I think we went on on every age appropraite ride. But that is OK, because every ticket is 25 cents. And almost all the kid rides only cost 1 ticket.
There is also a boat, but the picture was lame. And a caterpillar and a bumblebee. One thing you quickly realize is that every ride just goes in circle. I understand the space constraints, but it makes me dizzy just to watch.
We went with Miranda's two best chums. Pretty soon they'll all be back in school.
The helicopter may be the coolest kid ride. One, adults can go too. (but not alone--too weird.) And two, you can actually control the up and down motion of the plane, as it travels in a circle.
This is Henry and Sarah on the carousel.
After Bay Beach, we dropped off a tree at Grandma and Grandpa's and took RJ home. Then I made a wrong turn. Then dinner. Miranda had to use the potty twice, necessitating two stops. We were home by 9. And Henry wasn't asleep.
Friday we rested. I was so tired. On Saturday we saw Ross and Becky and Hannah in Madison. Way fun!! And Sunday we rested. Today Miranda went to Gesher Camp (6 hours long!) and swimming lessons. She had a blast. Tomorrow, we rest.
