08/12/2011 Zoo Rides

After the Wilds, we took the kids to the Columbus zoo. Grandpa and Grandma spoiled the kids by buying them ride wristbands so that they could go on unlimited rides for the rest of the evening. It turned out to be an awesome deal, at only $5 each. Especially considering that they rode the carousel 4 times each! It was a great evening to go, very cool weather and no crowds. In fact, the kids didn't have to ever wait in line for the rides and most of the time they were the only riders. Gavin lucked out, he barely made the height requirement to ride alone at 36 inches tall. Or maybe I should say that I lucked out since if he had been a tad shorter, I would have been the one to ride with him!




The kids loved these swings, but they made me so nervous! I had a really hard time watching the first time. I was so worried that they might try to climb out once it was up high and spinning. Luckily they stayed seated until the ride was over. There is a video below.

Getting ready to ride their favorite- the carousel!



Pure joy





Alexa says that this ride tickles her tummy!

They loved the train, too.
