I read the weather was going to be beautiful so we decided to go celebrate Pookie’s bday a day early at Tivoli Gardens which is basically like a little Disney World but ahhh so much calmer. Thank goodness we made this choice b/c the next day (Sophie’s real bday) Sabsy woke up with fever and was out of commission the entire day.

It was super fun and Sabs loved playing all the games (hit the balloon, throw the ball in the hole etc) while Maru chilled with Dada and Sophie and I hit up some rides. Apparently our little surfing, ziplining, dare devil is terrified of roller coasters. She went on one with me and kept her eyes closed the entire time. She wouldn’t talk to me, put her hands in the air or even look at what was happening. I tried the entire day to get her to go on with me again but nope she wanted none of it. Meanwhile she convinced me to go on the flying swings which was pure vomit but of course she loved. Dada does the spinning things and i’ll stick with the coasters.

Sabsy’s only ride she would go on was the Merry Go Round and even that terrified her if her horse would go up or down. One time Sissy and Dada were going on a spinning thing and I was with Sabsy and sleeping Roo and Sabs wanted to go on the Merry go round by herself. She went on but each time someone got the elephant. The girl was so determined to sit on an elephant that she waited 3 times until she was first in line so she could sit on top of a non moving elephant that went around in a slow circle. She likes to live on the edge apparently.

I think our favorite thing there was the massive playground and the fun zone which was like a crazy house with obstacle courses, etc. Pretty sure this sealed the deal that Disney would be a big, fat waste of money for us since really all the girls love are carnival rides and games. Fine with us!
