I could not have predicted this. Vivie refused ALL, literally ALL rides last year. At dinner club week she turned a corner and was mighty brave. This trip to Canobie for the Raytheon picnic she was unstoppable. The little lady decided she would do ANY ride Phil would do, "because Daddy is so warm and I love him". (She also mentioned she loves him most of all. "Don't worry Mom, I like you. I mean, I like everyone. But I LOVE Daddy. He is so warm.")
She did the timber slide. A body slide about 3 stories up. All the 8 year olds were coming done bone dry. Phil figured it would be fun to do with Vivie on his lap. Did not factor in the weight. They were soaked to the bone. I mean to ... the .. bone. It was quite brisk! Vivie had a change of clothes, poor Phil did not. Still, Daddy was warm in her eyes.
Pip and Viv did so many rides this time. But the favorite was the bumper cars. Pip would drive, Vivie would direct him. "BUST HIM!" she'd yell and point this way and that!
I got to ride the hot air balloons with Viv.
And Meg enjoyed her first ever ride. It was the last ride of the night. The carousel!
