Wonderland Night

Bryan and I took some of our engagement pictures with this exact same horse.

Bryan's work had a Wonderland night on July 15th.  Luckily for us, this timing worked out perfectly.  The girls now have a responsibility chart where they can earn stamps for completing certain responsibilities (making their bed, putting away clean silverware, going to sleep in a timely manner, etc.) They filled their chart Friday morning, and Wonderland made a perfect reward for their hard work.  They had been asking for weeks to get to ride on a merry-go-round and a train, so this was perfect.  

Ella and Emma had such a great time.  They rode most of the kiddie rides multiple times and several of the bigger rides a few times also.  They are finally 36" tall which makes them just tall enough to ride some of the bigger rides with an adult.  

1st of several rides on the Carousel

1st boat ride

2nd boat ride- Ella
(They wanted to ride in separate boats this time.)

2nd, 3rd, or 4th Boat Ride- Emma

They loved the boats and rode on them multiple times.
(This was my favorite ride as a child.)

Emma in her helicopter, again wanted to ride by herself.
She actually rode this one a time or two more than Ella.

The seats on this ride were very hot, so they cried through
the entire thing and refused to try it again.

First ride in the cars.

They LOVED the log ride, and the water helped cool
us off a bit.  We rode this one a couple of times.

Emma took a turn, also.

We had such a great time!  They keep asking to go back.  They beg to go ride the merry-go-round, cars, boats, train, etc., but not the Frog Hopper.  It was a great evening with our precious girls.
