We finally got the chance to take the kids to Knoebels on Aug. 2. Caden was there last when he was 4 months old. We decided to go there on our way home from my mom's. Mom and Erin joined us for the day. It was such nice weather, not too hot. Funny thing, we ran into the Smith Family there. It was only their 7th or 8th time this summer.
The kiddie boats was Caden's first ride. He fell asleep on the way over, so I don't think he was fully awake for the first few rides we put him on. He didn't smile much, so we couldn't tell if he was having fun or not. This little boy was cute. He smiled at us as we were walking around looking for a boat. I thought he looked nice, so I put Caden on with him. He showed Caden how to work the bell which he held on to the whole time. I was so afraid that he would get up before the ride was over, but he actually listened to me and sat the whole time on every ride. He was great!
This was the second ride...again still not really awake. This time he had two wheels to hold on to, so I think he was just really concentrating.
In line for the little train.
We weren't able to get 4 seats all in a row, so Erin had to sit a little behind us. I don't think she minded too much.
Abby was really tired, but she kept fighting it. There was just too much to look at.
Erin pushed Caden most of the time, thanks Erin.
Antique cars with Mammy.
Now he seems to be enjoying himself.
So serious! He asked me if it was moving or not. I guess he was ready if it was ready to move.
Jason was ready to put him on the horses that go up and down, but he didn't want to get on them. He cried when he got off this one, wanting to go back on.
I was also worried about the ones that went up in the air...again afraid he would get out, but like I said, he was great!
This was the only time he moved on a ride, right before it started. We don't know why he was trying to move, but luckily Jason was there. This and the big Whip were his favorite rides. He laughed the whole time.
Can you see Caden? Can you see Abby and me in the background?
All smiles - yet another great day!

You know Caden is a big kid now. He is riding the rides by himself. He looks like he loves the rides. Mammy looks like she is enjoying herself also. Aunt Erin looks like she couldn't be happier. Great pictures.
I know how you felt when he rode the rides for the first time alone. Annalise rode them for the first time this summer and I was so nervous about it too! I have not ventured enough to allow her to ride the ones that go up in the air though (she is actually a 1/2 inch too short anyway for those). Maybe next summer.
