A Day at Heritage Square

We are still finding new places to explore... this particular day, we checked out Heritage Square - a quaint little amusement park that is a paradise for 3 little boys! First up is the little train... Maddox saw it right away and being as I'm the smallest adult in our group, I get the pleasure of accompanying him on most of these rides since they require an adult to ride with the little ones... you'll see more of me later. This one wasn't too bad - he chose the cart in the front of the train which gave me some extra leg room. You should've seen the poor sap that got stuck in the back cart with his little girl!

The big boys chose to take the Tilt-a-Whirl for a spin... made me sick just watching them!

Okay, so it's my turn again... Maddox wanted to ride the hot air balloons. Seems tame enough...

Still doing okay...

Alright, I gotta get OFF this thing NOW!

Just to rub it in, Michael decided to ride the Scrambler with the big boys... Look at him smiling as if it's nothing! The operator kept making it go faster and faster and it didn't phase him one bit!

Fortunately, the Tea Cup operator let Morgan take Maddox on that one... I probably embarrassed them, though, because I was standing at the rail the whole time hollering for Morgan to take it easy... Michael finally told me to let them be. He said that Maddox looked bored and told Morgan, "Go for it!"... that's when Morgan let loose and really started spinning that thing. I cringed, but that's also when Maddox really started smiling. Obviously I know nothing when it comes to boys and their pleasure at feeling dizzy.

Then the big boys took a spin on this... thing. All I know is it went round and round really fast.

I must be getting old when I don't even care to ride the Ferris Wheel!!

The big boys were tall enough to ride the go-karts, but Maddox had to sit that one out.


I promised him one last ride of his choice, though... and he chose this. Once again, he had to be accompanied by an adult... and once again, Michael laughed as I squished myself into the pint-size cart.

Okay, I can do this... it's just a simple little roller coaster, right?!

...well, Good Lord, I had to hang on for all I was worth!

At least Maddox had a soft thing to lean against! He had a blast and wanted to do it, "just one more time!"... but Mama said we're done. Doggone that Mama.

Before we left, however, Mason & Morgan forked over a couple dollars of their own money so they could ride this same little roller coaster... they thought it looked like fun! I don't know how my expressions can be construed as "fun", but who am I to spoil it for them?!

There... at least Morgan is looking a little green!

What a fun, fun day! Tomorrow, I'll show you photos from our adventures on the Alpine Slide!! As for right now, I gotta go lay down... I got dizzy just reliving these photos.
