RIding the Rides!

While we stood in line for the petting zoo (in 34 degree weather, might I add), Sofia was transfixed by the rides! Immediately after leaving the petting zoo she took off for the rides and decided to do the teacups first. We all wanted to ride and after several minutes of figuring out how all our long legs fit into such a small space, we were ready! It was really fun and Papa got it going really fast! Sofia kept saying "Watch Papa so you don't get busy (she meant dizzy)" which she says when he spins her around at home. After the teacups, she and I went on the Merry Go Round, which was really fun! From the Merry Go Round she could see the train ride, so that was next! Amazingly, she is tall enough to ride all the kiddy rides solo - she's 38 inches and the requirement is 36 inches! She sat in the middle of the train while two kids sat in the engine. She said it was fun, but literally didn't move or crack a smile the entire ride! I think it was a bit overwhelming maybe.

As we started to head to the car, she was desperately wanting to go on the dragon ride but we didn't have any more tickets....the ride operator overheard us and told Sofia to jump on! It was so nice and Sofia loved it!! After Sofia thanked her, we headed out to the car - Sofia singing "Ring Around the Rosie" the entire time! After about five minutes our little girl was out like a light! She had such a big day and so much fun and enjoyed her much-needed nap!
