Riverfront Park Day w/ Friends

My friend Lisa and I have been talking about taking our boys for a bus ride downtown and spending the day at Riverfront Park. What a great day!! I took advantage of a Groupon a while ago for some half off day passes to the park. We headed to the Valley Mall to catch the bus in the morning, but we were on the wrong side of the road and missed our 1st bus. So we waited a little longer (30 min) for the next bus that took us straight downtown. We got to Riverfront around 11:00 and met up with some other friends and Ginger & Austin. The kids did all sorts of rides and I was so glad Gavin was into the rides this year. It also helped that he had some friends to ride with. I did a couple rides but got a little too dizzy to do more. Hee hee. We all took a break from rides to have some lunch and then we took the train through the park to relax a little before more rides. After the train we headed over to the Carousel and then had some ice cream. What a fun day with friends and family, we ended the day with a bus trip back to the mall. Garrett was pretty wiped out, he fell asleep on the bus, silly Garrett. :) Thanks Lisa, Heather, Ginger and kiddos for hanging out with us.

Twisty ride, I did not do this one, way too much spinning.

Bumper Cars, Austin did this one with the kiddos.

Garrett tried this one for about 2seconds and then got off. Garrett didn't do so well with the rides, maybe next year he'll be more into it.

The pirate boat.

The kiddos, Garrett is always posing. Kennedy is running over trying to get in the shot.

The Train ride.

A little too cold to do water this day, the kids didn't miss it too much.

Carousel time, Gavin was bummed that his arms weren't long enough to reach the rings.

Heather even gave me smile while riding the carousel with her girls.

Ice Cream time!!!! Garrett is a chocolate man..........

........Gavin loves him some Vanilla!! It looks almost bigger then his head.

Bumper Boats, this was one of the few rides that Garrett did, he really liked driving the boat.
Maybe a future boat owner T & G? Hee hee

Jordyn, Garrett and Gavin........three in a row, how cute.

Kennedy and Garrett just hanging out.

The small train ride, Gavin got to drive and ring the bell.

Connor liked this one too! Loved ringing that bell.

Gavin and Jordyn rode the Dragon roller coaster a few times.........I even rode this one, until I lost my sunglasses.

Right about the time we were heading back to the bus, it started to sprinkle, nothing big though. I really nice day weather wise.

And the bus ride home!
