Zoe went to her first amusement park today.. Knott's Berry Farm. One of the stewardesses on the plane said it was perfect for her age, with lots of rides.. we were not disappointed.. Zoe flew the Red Baron Planes, rode Snoopy's Bus (twice!), rode in a hot air balloon, about half were by herself, half with one of us... She lasted pretty long.. crashing when we finally broke for lunch at 12:30.. the last two rides before lunch didn't go so well because she was tired. But the place was mostly empty.. we hardly had to wait for anything.. most we just waited until the current one emptied out. The one that amazed me the most was the huff-and-puff.. think about those pump little wheeled things that used to go on the railroad tracks... the kind you see in the first scene in the muscial movie "Oh Brother"... anyway.. she sits down in this car by herself.. and pumps back and forth.. I didn't think she'd do it... not to say that she didn't get a partial free ride of pushes from the people behind her, but she loved it and did a good portion by herself.
The most disappointing part... I didn't bring the camera.. I looked for it once.. got sidetracked.. forgot it.. we did take some picture with our phones, we'll have to see how it goes, not sure how to get them off the phone.
We stayed at the park until 4:30ish... came home, took some time in the pool, and then I left her for 5 minutes with her dad and she talked him into Dora... she's been watching it on her player for an hour.. I don't know how I'll get her away from it.
