A day at Idelwild-- June 9th

On Tuesday we headed to Idelwild for the School Picnic. When we arrived at the park, Owen was sound asleep in the carseat, but as soon as I picked him up he was bright eyed and bushy tailed. We went to Kiddie Land and Owen road his first BIG KID rides, the first ride was the Turtles--not the best choice it shook us all around, but we rode with Julianne and both of them had fun. Daddy then rode the Teacups with Owen, he didn't want to get on it at first, but after the ride started moving he was fne and had a good time. We rode Mister Rogers Neighborhood again this year, and Owen watched the characters every move with NO expression (sort of weird for him). Then we went to Jumpin' Jungle and he ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT. We started in the blowing ball section with Pappy and Grammy and he giggled and laughed real hard, he even got his picture taken here with Pappy for the Latrobe Bulletin. Daddy and Owen road the Big Foots Mudslide and he could have ridden it all day, he rode it with Daddy 2 times and Pappy once. Finally, we visited Storybook Forest, it was a little sad there was no one there, it was pretty deserted so Owen had it all to himself. It started to look like it was going to thunderstorm, so we decided to head towards the Merry-Go-Round, but didn't make it because it started raining, and it was raining pretty hard. So we headed home, but will go back to Idelwild thanks to the great season passes that we have.
