First ride of the festival: the Fun Slide...total fun for Peter and Natalie.
It started off really fun for them, but as their momentum built and the humps got deeper, you can see their faces of concern. However, they squealed with laughter and excitement when they reached the bottom.
Total joy!
Ride #2: the space shuttle (Elaine's first amusement park ride)


During the ride, Peter hollered "HERE WE ARE!" and Natalie squealed "I can't believe how tall I am!". Soon, Natalie took the advantage of her birds eye view and spotted other rides she wanted to go on next. Every turn of the ride, we could hear snip-its of what she wanted to do next. :)
Peter went into the Fun House by himself and loved it.
The barrel was a highlight for him!

Next was the Dragon roller coaster. It's been one of Peter and Natalie's favorite ride and this year, little Elaine joined them.

However, after just two times around, it became apparent that Elaine was not enjoying it as much as her siblings.

Elaine seriously was not loving it. Luckily, the operator noticed, stopped the ride for her to get off and gave us two tickets back.

Elaine was happy to watch the rest of the ride from a distance.

FINALLY, Peter got to play BINGO. He's been wanting to play since our cruise in June. We got very close to a win, but no Bingo this year!
There's always next year!

To make up for the bad Dragon ride, we let the girls have one last trip on the space shuttle. The first time, Elaine sat on the outside and got squished by Peter in the end. So, we decided to have Natalie sit on the outside. Well, someone was not happy with that arrangement. I will let you determine who that was yourself.

Peter got one last turn on the Fun Slide. I captured his fun on video, but the end was a bit rough. He ended up wiping out at the bottom as he "took flight". He wasn't sure about the crash landing, and got a red cheek to prove it. On the way to the car, he took the best of it and asked if we saw him fly. He liked flying! :)

2010 Fall Fun Festival success!
