Funderland

Every once in a while we randomly decide to do something fun...

We woke up this morning and decided we would go somewhere...

We couldn't decide so we let Mikenna pick between the Sacramento Zoo, Fairytale Town, and Funderland.

She instantly made up her mind on riding the rides at Funderland. 

Funderland is like a little amusement park for toddlers and younger kids.

All the rides are smaller, kind of like the kiddy rides at a carnival.

We hadn't taken her there yet so I was so excited to see her ride all the rides!

 As soon as we walked in she wanted to ride the roller coaster. 

I was shocked!

She wanted to ride with Daddy so away they went.

She wasn't too sure about it... she didn't cry or get scared but she didn't love it either.

I'm always proud when she is brave enough to try something new.

I always tell her "you may not like it and that's ok, but at least you tried!"

I never would have tried to convince her to ride a roller coaster but I'm glad she tried!

 Next she picked a ride that she knew was one of her favorites, the carousel.

We rode this one a few times actually!

Anytime we try something new she is very, very serious.

She has always been this way around new people and situations... she takes it all in. 

She is quickly becoming a 3 year old, she wants to do everything herself lately.

We let her hold her own tickets and hand them over when it was her turn... I think that was her favorite part.

We rode her favorite rides a few times...

She would have gladly gone on the log ride over and over all day... this girl loves water!

I love that she chose me or Ryan to go with her depending on the ride.

(Let's face it, mostly Ryan... she's such a Daddy's girl)

She even convinced me to ride the teacups. Barf.

 But, by the end of the day she was all smiles, and that's all that matters!

These days are my favorite... the random unplanned ones are the ones in the front of my mind when I think of happy times.

I love my sweet little family... wouldn't have it any other way!
