I know you are all thinking, "how could they possibly fit any more fun into their vacation?" Well, we did!!! On Friday we went to Wild Waves and had another fantastic day.
Audra and Ben went on the "Kangaroo Hop"- a ride Audra desperately begged to go on. It was the only ride with a line, so I didn't want to go, but Ben agreed and Audra was not disappointed. It was super cute.
Here we are on top of the Ferris Wheel, which turned out to be the favorite ride of both Audra and Claire. I told Audra I was scared because we were so high, and she said, "don't worry, I'll hold you" and then she put her arm around my waist and kept saying, "don't be scared, mommy!" I will miss these days...
Ben went on with Claire, with the strict rule that he needed to have two hands on her at all times so she wouldn't fall out. Did he obey the rules? No. But apparently Claire was a perfect girl, sitting nicely while they went around.
Audra and Claire on the Safari Jeeps. Earlier in the day this led to massive tantrums from Claire because she refused to sit down so we had to take her off. She spent 10 minutes on the grass having a full on tantrum. But after that, we had no problems with her sitting on the rides. Sometimes, we just need to let her get it all out and then she's fine.
Audra and I went on the log ride, which was a little scary for Audra but we still had a great time.
My only complaint is that there was almost nothing that Claire could do- only about 3 or 4 rides. They didn't even let adults go on the train, so she couldn't even go on the train which was really lame. But, we made do and had a great time anyway.

TOOO cute! I can also really identify with the full on tantrum from Claire! Penny, however, will throw a full on one for about an hour. Agh! Looks like you're having a blast - that's the only way to live!
I'm glad you've figured out a way to deal with the tantrums! Also, my very favorite picture is Claire trying to pull out the sword. So cute!
Wild Waves!!! That brings back a ton of memories. My brothers and I would save up money all year long so that we could buy a season pass to Wild Waves/Enchanted Village. I think I had a pass from age 11-14.
