Little Thrill Seeker

NJ wasn't hesitant about any new rides today. It's a good thing since we had a chance to go on almost every one of them! 
How cute, the boys walked along holding hands. Let's see how long this lasts before they think they're too old for it. Hopefully not too soon. 
NJ liked trying Baba's sunglasses on. 
All the weird ways we are waiting for the robotics workshop. 
NJ and Baba worked together to get the robot to do tasks. Pretty cool. They were all so into it! While the moms sat together to watch. 
Love how happy he looks. 
The girls racing the boys. Except that the boys said they weren't racing, while the girls celebrated their victory. Silly. The boys did a pretty good job considering they're both smaller.
Uncle let the kids all make their own mini figure. This is what NJ made. This is after went back in to exchange the head. Someone pointed out that he chose a woman's head. I started calling it the bearded lady. I think that did it for him to change it. (Sorry, NJ). When he was asked why he chose that head he said, "Because I like it." He should have stuck with it, no one really cared. Maybe I shouldn't have made fun. I just thought it was funny. So his bearded woman with a top hat became a bearded man instead. 
Log ride
I didn't think he was serious when he said he wanted to go on this ride, but he proved me wrong. Two other pairs of our friends had already gone. It's just an arm that flips you around in the air. You can choose the speed one through five. Five being fastest. NJ went with Auntie at level one. I thought he was so brave. They put this vest on him because he's so small. Oh man, he's so little he needs extra protection. So cute. My brave little man who likes the thrills. 
He did great! Even let go of the bar and of Auntie. Yikes. 
He was all smiles after and said he wanted to go again. I'm surprised he wanted to go at all!
It's Baba and Uncle's turn. Last time they did level five, but didn't get to do anything this time! The ride broke down just after the platform had retracted. Umm... They were there until two mechanics came over and they were able to extend the platform for them to get down. NJ was so concerned he got all teary eyed thinking that Baba was really stuck on there. We said he was fine and he was. We cheered as they came back down, haha. 
Second time on this ride today. There they are, waving. There's a pretty big drop that he holds on to Baba for dear life. He loves the ride though. I'm surprised since I thought it was pretty fast and didn't think he'd go for it. I'm so glad he's not afraid and not afraid to try new things. We're proud of him for how adventurous he is.
Baba held him up to see some displays at the store.
We stopped together for dinner before heading back. We didn't get to do our usual Starbucks and walking the outlets since it was all closed. That's ok. Best not to have more sugar or spend money. I was so tired from being out all day. Haden't been doing much up until this. I wasn't planning to go today. I thought it was better to rest and not drag everyone down by them having to worry about me. But then I thought about how I'd just be moping at home and decided just to tag along last minute. I decided this morning. We went to get a wheelchair for me at the park. It cost $12, but it was well worth it. I had no idea that it came with a pass for any and every ride there is. What?! It's a holiday weekend and we can skip all the lines? Most of them were about an hour long, sometimes ninety minutes or more. I was thanking God. Here I was thinking I'd slow everyone down and burden them with having to push me around and wait for me as I do everything extremely slow. But actually, me having to be in a wheelchair was a blessing in a weird way. We did more than we've ever done before. We did more than ten rides. We also saw the Lego City 4D show, did the robotics workshop, and visited two or three of the shops. Crazy. I'm surprised I could get through it. Usually I'm laying down most of the day, it was hard to be sitting up the whole time. I felt better after I took one of my pills though. That stuff works! Ha, ha. I think I'll be sleeping all of tomorrow though, let's see.
