Our friend, Paige, spent the day with us, too. Before going to the boardwalk, she and Rudy hung out at the table- Paige colored and Rudy built with legos. Rudy loves having Paige around.
The first ride - the carousel.
Paige is as much as of a daredevil as Rudy is, so they went on pretty much every ride together. The buccaneer...
... the tilt a whirl...
...and the caterpillar roller coaster (which, once Paul got one, he realized he probably didn't need to be on it with them - but it was too late . I think he enjoys it and just wanted an excuse to ride it!)
Then we attempted the log flume. We haven't been on this ride but I thought Rudy would really enjoy it. Paul decided to watch, so Paige, Rudy and I headed on.
Rudy was concerned when we got in about why we weren't strapped in. I should have known then it might not go well. Getting on the log flume is tricky since it continues moving, so I had the two of them get in first and then jumped on myself. Therefore, I was in front and they were together in the back. I think this also made Rudy uncomfortable.
By the time we were heading straight up, he was not happy and wanted to get off.
So on the way down, I am reaching back trying to hold him around the seat as best I can. As much as I don't really like roller coasters, I've always liked the log flume, but I don't think I will be able to convince Rudy to go back on it for a long time!
