just adjacent to Old Town in Kissimmee!
That's Leila with her arms up in the air,
waving around like she just don't care!
(smile)
Neither she nor Alyssa had their spirits
dampened by the frequent little showers -
they were at Fun Spot!
so after playing on the Big Fun's wheels,
we walked around the park,
getting an eyeful of the rides waiting
to be ridden...
and on the ducks looking for treats!
Is that an alligator in the pond?
Yep... but not a real one!
(smile)
How about an impromptu dance in the
streets with Daddy?
What great fun!
Especially if you take the time to
stomp in the puddles, like Alyssa did!
(smile)
It's akin to Mr. Potato Head, with lots of
variations on the eyes and sunglasses
and mouth pieces to be attached to the
brightly colored, swirled rubbery cones.
All while singing, of course!
"We're number two! We're smelly poo!"
(smile)
The Fun Spot was officially open!
But what tickets to buy?
Well, each girl got her own Super Pass,
while mom and dad got 'chaperone'
wristbands for the rides the girls
were still too short to ride alone.
G'Aunt Tina - that's me - abstained.
Just there to document and cheer, thanks!
(smile)
Alyssa chose a white Baron Plane;
Leila selected a bright red one.
After disembarking afterwards,
they walked away and never went back.
Clearly, the Baron Planes were
not popular with the twins.
in every sense of the phrase.
(Yes, pun intended!)
This photo was from their second ride,
with Leila ringing the bell on the fire
truck and Alyssa tooling along in the
snazzy beach buggy!
All total, they were on this one four times!
No chaperones needed, as they felt safe
riding it by themselves.
And ride it they did!
After their first Kiddie Coaster ride,
they immediately wanted to ride
it again... and they did, twice more!
broke away to have lunch at Pizza Hut.
Then, as soon as we had returned to
the Fun Spot, they went straight back to
being snake charmers another two times!
So far, that's seven times on this ride,
with blonde hair blowin' in the breeze!
Heck to the no!
This time, their eight ride went on for
ten laps rather than the usual five.
Woohoo!!! Thanks, ride-tender for the extra!
And then the girls rode twice more,
but just for the usual laps.
Ten rides each on the Kiddie Coaster!
Well, they each rode as chaperone
in a truly scary - and very fast! -
ride called Screaming Eagles.
Mom wasn't crazy about it, but Dad was!
See him screaming, hanging out the bird?
Four rides each, twice in succession
pre-lunch, twice after, and the golden
girls were done with it.
ride, but at least Mom and Dad got to be on
it with them and were excited about it, too!
It was so very fast, though, so fast -
so fast the little ones were afraid of falling out -
and then it went backwards!
That was just crazy!
screaming-time ride!
Titled "Screamers", they rode between
Mom and Dad, safe and secure.
Up, up, up the ride took them...
then down it bounced!
high into the air, above the lights!
Then, down, down, down, and justthatfast
back up they would bounce!
Mom rode with them twice, then
both girls rode with just Dad twice.
Such fun!!!
Well, I didn't get a photo with the
girls in the bumper cars, which they
rode just once.
However, they did enjoy Chaos!
Here's Dad with Leila, racing ahead!
distance so all would have fun.
They only rode this one once.
Then, later, they rode on a much
curvier track called Vortex,
but, again, just the one time.
Such a welcome break from the action
before more action commenced!
Biggest and best funnel cake ever!
Thanks, g'Aunt Tina!
(smile)
Ferris Wheel? Not much!
(smile)
So the Smith family took an air
gondola - orange, number 5 -
to see Kissimmee from on high!
Just once for this ride, thanks!
but she wasn't missing out.
Not one little bit!
Elvis was across the street to
keep her occupied in between
photo snaps as the wheel turned.
Elvis is everywhere!
(smile)
After their tenth ride on the Coaster,
the golden girls bopped over to try
out Castle Mania again.
They'd done it twice earlier, but
now there was another little girl named
Leila to run and play with there!
to the front door of the castle so she
could catch up with here sister,
up there in the second-floor tower!
But to get there, she had to fight past
the punching bags and wade through the
ball pit and cross the swinging bridge!
They chased around there five times total!
Mom took one girl and a burlap sack,
Dad took the other and a sack, then up
they climbed to the tip top...
and down they flew on that sack!!!
Holy cow, that was so very fast!
Fun, too, so they did it twice!
needed to slow things down.
How about the Happy Swing?
Perfect! Especially singing the
alphabet song! Then another girl
joined them and they sang another
tune, all together!
Four riders on the Happy Swing,
and a total of four rides on it
Their new friend wanted to ride the
Kiddie Coaster and they were only too
happy to show her how it was done!
Alas, a hard rain cut the ride short.
How nice of that young man to rescue
them with a huge umbrella!
(smile)
Just as well, honestly, that the rain came to send them home or they may have kept riding until they dropped in their tracks!
Each girl rode a total of thirty-eight rides on their one-day bracelets - incredible!
Dad rode fourteen rides with them as a chaperone, while Mom went on twelve.
Way to work those passes at Fun Spot!
Now, let's have a bite before bed...
and have sweet dreams of the fun we all had...
what a glorious day, rain and all!
i thank You, God!
