Savannah rode her first roller coaster. She was nervous at first, after we got to the top of the first hill, she was fine. We rode it several more times afterwards.
Denny and I on the dolphin ride. We were stunned to find out that he was not tall enough to ride this one by himself. I barely fit in the dolphin.
The kids and I on the pirate ship ride.
We talked the kids into going on the giant Ferris wheel. They were to afraid the last time we were at the park. This is Savannah pretending to be afraid.
And of course, Denny had to get a goofy picture in since Savannah did. We are not sure, but we thought he was going to do a scared face, but it didn't translate well. Looks more like he ate a lemon.
Elin checking out the view from the Ferris wheel. It went pretty slow so we had lots of opportunity to take pictures.
View of the park from the Ferris wheel. It looks a lot bigger from the ground.

Elin and Denny on the fire engine ride. Savannah and I were on the next truck. You had to squirt water into small holes in the building. The one who gets the most water in wins. I ended up with the high score of 52 - but there was no prize.
The family taking advantage of the photo opportunity. Elin thought it would be funny to pretend the bear was getting fresh. Yeah, we're mature.
This was the cold room. The prize was about $3 to get in (free with the bracelets). It was literally a freezer that was sectioned off into four rooms or so. They said that the temperature was -30 C. It was nice to get out of the heat for a few minutes. We ended up going in and out about 3 or 4 times.
The kids entering the cold room.
This was near the end of the cold room. The walls were made of ice.
Denny and Savannah with the kappas. A kappa is a mythical creature - kind of like a turtle, but not really. They also have to keep their heads wet or they will die. I think they were a wet cloth on their heads to keep it wet. Savannah had homework a while back where we had to fill in the letters. We were given a "ka", then a space, then a "pa". We had to go through the dictionary trying to come up with a word that fit. The best we could come up with in 45 minutes was kappa which the dictionary said was "a fish out of water". Frustrating that I can't do first grade homework.
Savannah on the merry go round.
The orange tubes were a walking path. at certain intervals, they had some obstacles that ytou had to get through. This was toward the end of the day. It was hot and we were starting to get tired. Of course, the tube led up to the back side of the park. The exit was up near the ferris wheel.
After the tube, we decided to stop for a cool treat. Denny chose ice cream which he proceeded to dribble down the front of himself for about 15 minutes. I think he dripped more than he ate.
Savannah chose an ichigo (strawberry) snow cone.Denny and Savannah on the smal cars. These were $1 a ride, but not included in the price of the bracelet.
Walking through the tubes. The coaster in the background is the one Savannah rode for the first time.
Savannah and I rode this ride. This one about made me sick. We rode another ride that went around in a circle after this one and that just about made us both sick. We were dizzy and lightheaded afterwards.

Denny and Savannah on motorcycles. Savannah's must have had something wrong with it. She kept running into the walls. The attendant had to help her about 10 times until she got it figured out.
These are the platform cycles that we rode the last time.
Elin and Denny on the dolphin ride.
