Silver Dollar City

June 14, 2011

Last Friday afternoon we made it to the opening of Kids Fest at Silver Dollar City.  We got to meet Dora and Diego, ride rides and the train and Gabby got to make a fish candle.  We fit a lot into a few hours and closed the park down but it was well worth getting home late that night.  We all had such a good time and since it was Friday the park was much less crowded.  We’ll have to remember that for future trips. 

 
I always make the kids stop at this spot for a picture as we’re going in. 

Waiting in line for Dora and Diego.


One of my best memories of SDC growing up is their frozen lemonade.  Not the Minute Maid stuff but the real deal lemonade.  It’s still one of my favorite things and apparently Peter’s too.


My…what big eyes you have. 


Peter’s first ride. 


And yes, his 2nd ride was on a butterfly.  Poor kid. :)


Gabby getting ready to start the roller coaster.  She loved it and rode it 2 times in a row.  She is really starting to surprise us with how adventures she is.

Big eyes again getting on the train.  When she heard that there might be bad guys along the way she immediately traded seats with me and hide behind my arm the whole way.  So maybe she’s not that adventures.
