Como Zoo Soo Foo!

This week has been busy and I choose to play some video games instead of blog, so I'm a bit light on posts. Last weekend we had an awesome fun labor day weekend, ending Monday with a long morning and afternoon at the Como Zoo Amusement Park. Andrea got a few end of season unlimited ride passes for a good deal.

Megan loved the swing ride, she had recently gone on one while staying with our friends over vacation. She could also go on a bunch of rides by herself, which was really cool! She just loved picking whatever rides she wanted to go on.

Casey was even able to get in on the action, doing one ride by herself and a spinning tea-cup ride with me. She was having a great time all day, check out the video of her at the end.

For the bigger rides, we just took turns with Megan. That Frog Hopper ride was awesome fun for the kids! Getting her ready for some Power Tower action in a few years. She did it 2 more times by herself.

We ended the day stumbling across a kids entertainer/juggler/magician guy. Megan quickly ran to the front row and sat down in a chair to watch. No big deal we thought, as we hung back. Next thing we know, Megan is up walking around on stage with this guy. I'm thinking, do I run up and get her off and make a scene or do I just let this play out? I mean, the guys a professional child entertainer. He knows how to deal with this right? Sure enough, he got her involved with a rope magic trick and she did okay and went back to her seat when directed. Whewww...

You know you've completely exhausted your kids when they end the day with handfuls of cotton candy that they are too tired to even eat. Now that's a great day.

Here is a cute video of Casey from the start of the morning, hanging out on one of those "insert-a-quarter" rides (that I think are actually 0.75 cents now).



And another video of us at this park area that is inside the middle of the amusement park, having fun on this zip-cord thingy. After doing it a few times, Casey held on all by herself (with Andrea walking along to catch her should she drop). She loved it!
