Playland

Today we went to Playland with our friends - Andrea with Ben & Holly, Mimi with Cassie & Mackenzie, and Noriko with Isabelle & Simon. We had so much fun - we'll probably have to get a season's pass next year!

As we got into "Kids Playce", which is the area for smaller children, we noticed the first ride - a kids roller coaster! We all decided to go on it - but probably should have watched first, because it goes pretty fast and has some major dips in it for a 3 year-old! Holly and Isabelle were a bit stunned by it, and I put my arm around her during the ride, but Ben loved it and wanted to go on again right after we got off!

Thanks Andrea for this shot - I like the way Holly is peaking at me!













Andrea and Ben at the front of the coaster!














Mimi and Cassie on the coaster just after us...




















On the Honeybee Express Train (thanks for the picture Noriko!).














Isabelle, holding on with both hands - the train wasn't going fast at all, so this was really cute!














On the Merry-Go-Round - it wasn't as big as some of the carousels Holly has been on, but she wanted to ride on the "bench" so we didn't ride a horse (or other animals they had) - thanks Andrea for taking a shot of us!













Celine, Mackenzie, Mimi and Cassie on the bench (or carriage) behind us.














Isabelle and Noriko with Simon (who was holding on like a pro!).














On the Paddle Wheeler - after she got off the ride, Holly told me, "me and Isabelle put our hands in the water!". Yes, Cassie was crying a bit, but stopped after the ride got underway.



















Isabelle and Holly holding hands, while waiting in line to ride on KC's Raceway.














Crazy drivers on the track!



















Holly didn't want to go on the Super Slide, but I really did, so I went down with Isabelle and Noriko took Simon. Thanks Andrea for another great picture!



















Riding the Dune Buggies!














After lunch, Holly wanted to go on KC's Raceway again - I think she went on a total of 3 or 4 times - it was her favourite! After that, I was finally able to convince her to go down the Super Slide with me.



















Back on the Dune Buggy.....



















Final shot of a tired little monkey with Cassie, just before we left. We'll have to get the gang together again next year, it was so much fun!
