Victorian Gardens

When the weather warms up Central Park opens up a little amusement park, called Victorian Gardens. We took Olivia last year as well, but this time she had a lot more fun!






The first ride she wanted to go on was a flying swing ride. As I saw her go around and around I could tell she loved it. Last year this was also the first ride she went on. The plan was for her to ride on it with Matthew, and so I was shocked when I saw the ride start and Matthew walking through the exit gate. He said there was no room for him so he left her by herself. The poor girl looked terrified as she went around and around. When she got off he said the ride was scary for her. Luckily this year, she had quite a different reaction.





Matthew and Olivia went on a bouncing frog ride. Unfortunately they both came off the ride saying their stomachs hurt.




This airplane ride was Olivia's favorite. As she was waiting for take off she told me she was off to England and than France. Matthew said the entire ride she was screaming "this is fun, this is fun!"





Olivia was also very excited to ride the train. She made a be-line for the pink car.




She loved being the conductor and was very concerned about the comfort of her passenger.







Olivia absolutely loved this outing. We went just a few days ago, but we have already reenacted out amusement park adventures many times and she often asks if we are going back.
