along for the ride

with just over a week left before school starts
we are feeling the pressure to cram in all of our last minute fun.

one thing we wanted to do this summer
was to spend a day playing at como town



we met up with some friends
and spent the majority of the day hopping from one ride to the next

they all had different ideas of what makes a ride fun
drew loves spinning
ben likes SOME spinning
and
alex is content to just be

so thankfully it wasn't overly busy
and we could ride most of the rides without waiting - multiple times
we even had a barnett only ride on the tea cups!

the older boys favorite ride was the sky gliders

ben looked absolutely terrified
BUT
when you ask him now what his favorite ride was -
sky gliders is his answer

alex had the same mixed feelings about the dragon coaster

he and i rode it together.
he HATED it while we rode
he kept telling me he didn't like it
and really i didn't either
yet now he says he liked it
and is glad he rode it

who knows?

the older boys rode the sky drop over and over



while alex and paige decided the train goes WAY too slow

the firefighter ride was my favorite
because it seemed to be fun no matter how big or little you are!



the boys were WIPED by the time we were done
and football practice came a little too soon
BUT
i'm guessing that in the end -
they'd say it was all worth it
