Oaks Park

We took the kids to Oaks Park during the last week of summer. They had never been to an amusement park before so I thought they'd be scared on the rides, but they were really brave. Emily was one inch shorter than she needed to be for a lot of the rides, but Matthew was able to get her on Rock'n Roll, the one where the cars go around in a circle really fast and then they go reverse. She was very proud of herself that she wasn't scared. We took Nicole on a couple of rides, but she didn't like it. So Nicole and I rode the carousel a few times while Matthew took the kids to do other things.



Emily and Angela both said they really wanted to go on the kiddie roller coaster, but as soon as it went around the first corner and picked up speed, they were pretty scared. I don't think they realized what it would be like. This is Matthew and Angela in the front.
