this is the last weekend for the rides at jenkinsons in point pleasant. we had planned on going there on sunday, because john had a birthday party this morning. well, after having kyle drive to the party and sit in the parking lot did we realize that the party was on sunday, not saturday. oops. so we quickly changed plans, and headed down to point pleasant.
we got there and met up with mimi. we had a little lunch and waited for aunt missy to arrive. i got this picture of john while we were waiting for lunch (probably the calmest he was all day).
the first ride he went on was the dragons with daddy. he loved it. he giggled the entire time and immediately when it was done he ran to the next ride.
next he went on the balloon ride with mimi and the dumbo ride with aunt missy.
after dumbo, johnny requested the merry-go-round. he wanted gillian to go on a ride too. gillian did not like the pony and we had to sit on a bench while john got to ride his pony. after going on a bunch of rides with someone, he was brave enough to attempt the next series of rides all by himself.
so we walked a little further down the boardwalk, and came up to the rollar coaster. the rollar coaster isn’t big, but for a 4 year old, it is huge! johnny wanted to go on it, and while he waited with kyle in line he watched the coaster go around and around. as soon as the ride stopped he said, “ok, lets go” mimi, aunt missy, gillian and i watched from the sideline as the coaster went around and around. it was hard to get a picture, but i will never forget the smile on his face. he loved it. he came running down the steps so excited and happy. he ended up riding the coaster two more times. and if you ask him what his favorite ride is, he will say “the rollar coaster!”
no trip to point is complete without a game and winning a prize. john went head to head with aunt missy on a water race and john won!
we had a great day on the boardwalk and ended up with an exhausted little boy. and his prize, his pig “oink piggy.”
