josh, jake and i went to dollywood yesterday. we knew jake would love it. jake loves to be thrown up in the air, spun around, and loves to go fast! and he sure did love it! we rode the carousel five times, took a ride on the flying elephants, rode the lemon twist, and josh and jake squirted people on the beaver battle ride. jake and i took a break while josh rode the war eagle.
about a week prior to us leaving, we asked jake if he wanted to ride a "big choo-choo." of course, he was very excited about riding a real train. well, while we were waiting in line to ride the carousel the train whistle blew. jake was sooo excited. (here he is pointing to the train)
he was excited about getting on board. he kept saying "all aboard" over and over. we sat on the first car.....big mistake. the conductor blew the whistle and jake looked at me and said "dis big twain is too woud mommy, get off!" there was no turning back. he clinched to me and buried his face in my chest for the whole ride. i kept my hands over his ears the whole time. when the 20 minute ride was finally over, we asked jake if he wanted to ride the big train again. he gave a firm "no. jake not ride dat big choo-choo no more."
overall, we had a really great time. josh took jake swimming in the indoor swimming pool. we went down to the outlets and shopped around. as we were walking back to the car and this big storm came out of nowhere. needless to say, we were soaking wet. i can't wait to take jake back again and ride even more rides. there were many more rides we wanted to take him on, but he was just too tired (and so were we).
