We had Sophie and Luke again today. Since today was Toddler Tuesday at Nickelodeon Universe,and the weather was cool, we decided to take them to the MOA. This was the first time we had taken Sophie on the rides. We took Nate back in the day, and then we took Luke and Jake up until this spring when they started looking for more excitement from their amusement park. Today the torch has passed again. Sophie is fearless! I remember the first time we took Luke on the carousel, he screamed his head off. She giggled as she rode on the Zebra. And giggled at the Diego Bus Ride. And the trains. And the big trucks. And giggled some more at the free-fall Wonder Pets ride and the hot-air balloons. And really giggled at the pineapple bouncy house and the roller-coaster. In fact the only time she cried was when she was too short for the height requirements for the bumper cars! She GIGGLED her way through the park. I wish you could hear that laugh. Luke had a good time showing his sister the ropes. We went to Chipotle for lunch, where Sophie ate her quesadilla and Luke played with his. Both kids were tired and took a nap as soon as we got home. So did Grandma and Grandpa.
