IDLEWILD PARK

This morning we got up and went to Idlewild. Lukas wasn't feeling 100%, but insisted on going. He had a slight cough and we don't know where it came from. On top of that, the weather wasn't great and we weren't sure if were going to go. When we got there, we were glad that we did. The park wasn't that full and we didn't have to wait in the lines very long. Which is a plus with small children. 

We did Story Book Forest first. This was the first year that Landon had done it. He wasn't very sure of it at first. He was a little cranky and didn't like all the people. After we walked through a couple stories, he was really into it. He had a blast. It was also a couple years since Lukas last did this and he really recognized the stories and would read them. We love this part of the park. Right after Story Book Forest, we went to Jumpin' Jungle. This is part to the park with the ropes you can climb, big slide, ball pit, and more. They could spend all day in this section. Once we had enough of that, we took the boys to Raccoon Lagoon to ride. We were excited to see what Landon would do since he didn't like riding last year. The first ride they were in line for was the bus. He walked right in and sat right beside Lukas. It was so cute. His riding fear is over.........YAY! They only rides he didn't really care for were the turtle and the merry-go-round. I think he doesn't really care for the circular motion. Lukas on the other hand loves ALL the rides:-) 

Around 1:00, Landon said he was "hungy", so we headed back to the truck for our picnic lunch. We made turkey sandwiches and had sliced apples, chips/pretzels, and fruit snacks. Both boys ate really well and had full bellies to start riding again. Sure enough around 3:00 it rained, but didn't last long. We just waited under cover until it stopped. They said they only close the park if they get the lightning signal. We ended up leaving the park around 4:00 because Ben had to go home to get some sleep for work tonight. Lukas was so upset and didn't want to leave. We said that next year we will stay longer since Landon will be older. We all had a fabulous day!
