Playgroup Invades {FUNLAND}

Friday we loaded up & headed out for a much needed Playgroup - we hadn't been in weeks!! Ava was so excited to be going to a
'Carn-i-pickle' with her friends!

The first ride was a Roller Coaster! Ava & Blake buddied-up to ride this one together!

Look at those kids faces - pure joy! (Ava is in the last cart)

No, they aren't having a screaming fit - they loved it!


The next ride was a Spaceship - it went 'round & 'round & up & down (made me a little nervous - that kid is fearless)!

Here she is flying high like Tinker Bell... fearless I tell ya....

Of course we had to ride the Carousel - Ava loves riding those horsies!

I put her up on a horse with a pink & purple saddle (of course) & after I buckled her on she promptly said 'Okay Mom, you can get off now!'

She did not want her Momma riding with her!!

Good thing my friend, Angel, was right there (knowing Ava, she'd hop off in the middle of the ride & try to figure out why the horsie is only going in circles or something....) - I'm so glad she didn't mind having Miss Angel stand beside her!

We got to ride the Choo-Choo-Train, too!

Oh & these Helicopters!

This one really did scare me a little - she was trying to stand up in her seat when the Helicopters were up in the air! I even saw her throw her legs over the side, relaxing....

ugh! fearless, I tell ya!

The Cars & Motorcycles are by far her favorite!

This girl would take her license now if they'd issue her one!

Notice the boys keeping their eyes on the 'road' & Ava & Julianne posing for the camera's - love it!

The Teacups...

Oh the Teacups... just looking at them makes me sick...

I snapped this picture just before the ride started & Ava flew off into the floor & hit her ear on that middle turn-y-thing - she was bawling, of course, but mostly because I made her get off the ride!!

(p.s. her ear was fine)

Jessica did me a favor & snapped a cute pic of me & Ava - since I'm always behind the camera, I'm rarely in a shot with her! Thanks, Jess!

I must say that this Playgroup was quite enjoyable!

The guy who runs Funland (@ Burns Park for you locals) opened up the rides for only the kids in our Playgroup!

Seriously - 30 kids + us Moms were the only one's there for almost 3.5 hours!

He was so nice, too! He let the kids ride each ride 2-3 times & if someone got upset, he would stop - let them get off - & start the ride again!

I'm sure he was worn out by the time we all left, haha!!

Hopefully we'll get to go back again in the fall!
