Amusement park

For our children's birthday we go somewhere special as a family rather than have a birthday party, we have been doing this since the kids were about 3 or 4 years old.  Since Little Man's birthday is in June, for the last several years, he has chosen to go to a Theme park  He chooses a different one every year.  This year he chose to go to Chessington World of Adventure  theme park.   We  are usually out of town on his actual birthday, so we had his special day a week early.  It just so happened to be one of the nicer days we have had here in England.  Little Man is fearless when it comes to rides.  He will ride anything, the faster the better.  Princess on the other hand is much more timid of fast rides and needs a bit more coaxing to give them a try.

The large scale map of the park, trust me we hit every area as little Man insisted he not miss a ride:)

Little man is obsessed with maps and had to have his own to carry around with him all day.  He loved to show and tell us where we were all day long.

we had such a beautiful day:)

Daddy standing in line with Little Man at the Ramses Revenge ride.  His face before he saw what the ride does:)!

Upside down ride---Princess and I sat this one out:)

Daddy's face after seeing what he will have to do on this ride.  He is not really upset but he definitely  was not looking forward to it.  Little Man on the other hand was so excited!

Daddy and Little Man in the back row.  Daddy has a strange look on his face.

Now they are upside and getting wet.  I think I will pay for making Daddy go on this ride;)  but the excitement on his son's face made it all worthwhile...but not enough to ride it again despite his son's pleas.

More our speed the Ferris wheel:)

We had a fantastic day!  We were there at the park's opening and stayed until the park's closing at 5 PM.  We were exhausted!  Little Man is already investigating a different Theme park for next year!
