One night we headed over to Pier Park to eat a quick dinner and let the kids ride some rides! They loved it! I got the picture below as we were walking from where we ate dinner over to the rides. So sweet!
Emmy was excited!:)
They both were such big girls and were ready to jump on any ride! Hannah wasn't about to let Emily do something without her if she could help it.
Fun, fun, fun!
The picture below is of the girls waiting to ride the boats. You can just see the excitement in their stance.:)
Cuties!
This sweet girl just enjoyed all the activity. By the end of the night she started getting a little fussy, so we had to keep the stroller moving, but I'd say she was very patient with her big sisters while they were having fun!
Love the carousel!
Hannah insisted that Uncle Stanley not put his arm around her. She said "I do it by myself." Ha! We hear that A LOT around here.
I actually hate the teacups. I have bad memories from my childhood...all the spinning makes me sick every time. I was planning on walking right past them, because I dislike them so much I can't imagine anyone liking them (you know the old saying...if Mama's cold everyone has to put on a jacket.:) ), but Emily kept asking to ride them...so we decided to let her. She ended up riding them with this cute little boy. He spun her around and around. She had so much fun and laughed throughout the whole thing! It was cute to watch!
If you had asked Emily before this night what she was most excited about riding she would have said the Ferris Wheel. She had talked and talked about the Ferris Wheel. We saved it for the end of the night. Mimi and Uncle Stanley were excited about riding it too. Mimi and Hannah were going to ride together and Uncle Stan and Emily. They were the very next people in line (it was a long, slow moving line) and Emily looked up with a very concerned look on her face and asked if the building right beside the Ferris Wheel was a bathroom. I told her no and hoped maybe she wouldn't say anything else about it. About 30 seconds later she got out of line and said she really had to go to the bathroom. Poor girl! I felt terrible for her. It was the end of the night, Claire was fussy, the bathrooms were a little walk away, they were next in line, and I knew we wouldn't have time to wait through the line again. I ran with her to the bathrooms (during the run, Emily said, "Hold on tee-tee! I'm coming!" Ha!) Mimi, Uncle Stanley and Hannah got on the Ferris Wheel since they were next in line, and Emily and I got back just as they were getting off. Hannah loved it! Emily was a little sad about not getting to ride, but we quickly told her we were about to ride our last ride, the train...so she got excited about that!
Our little family getting ready to ride the cute train!
Emily decided she wanted to ride in her own car. The four of us sat together in the black car (above) and Emily wanted to get in this blue car right behind us. Big girl! She waved at people and smiled the whole time!
About the time we got everyone buckled in the car to go to the condo Emily realized that she hadn't gotten to ride the Ferris Wheel and we were leaving. And the wailing began. Ugh. We felt terrible. She was a combination of exhausted and disappointed and it was pitiful. After we got home Bert stayed outside with her for a few minutes just holding her and talking to her. He promised her that before we left Panama City Beach he would take her back to the Ferris Wheel.
We only had 3 days left after this and they were pretty jam packed at night, but we were definitely making time for Emily's Ferris Wheel ride.
Emily and her Daddy about to go ride the Ferris Wheel. (The rest of us stayed at the condo as we had just gotten back from playing at the waterpark all day.)
They had fun! And I learned a lesson...just go ahead and have your 4 year old take a potty break before they get ready to stand in a long line.
We had such a fun night at Pier Park...for sure a highlight of the trip!
