Oaks Park

Charlie's (and now Edwin's) eye doctor host an event each year at Oaks Amusement Park/Roller Rink. The kids all get free ride bracelets and lunch. It was a blast! There were lots of things for kids of all ages to do so Edwin got to join in the fun!

 

We took turns swapping the kids around depending on who could ride what but we all had a good time. 

Our whole family did the Ferris Wheel together. We all loved it except for the times when it stopped for people to load or unload because that's when Edwin realized he did not want to be strapped down and was trying so hard to stand up while I was trying so hard to hold him down. He was screaming by the time it was our turn to unload, not because he was scared, but simply because he wanted to stand up and his mean old mom wouldn't let him!

 

After we had already had hours of fun, and I was ready to go, we decided to do a little roller skating. Both Max and I grew up roller skating a bunch so we were excited to pass that on to our kids. Miles and Charlie have both tried skating a couple times and they are still quite wobbly but it was fun to practice a bit. and the only photos we got were them in the arcade area...but they did pretty well scooting around in there.
