What I have been trying to figure out is the question entitled above. Who is more amused at amusement parks? the children who get to go on and enjoy the rides and the atmosphere? or the adults who get to watch the enjoyment of their children?
As in many things, children have the perk of it being worry free fun (unless they are scared of a ride, then I guess they worry a little;o))! Why can it be like that for them? It is simply because the adults take on all the brunt of the worry, like in many things in life!
Adults worry about the cost, the cleanliness, the logistics, the empty bellies, the full diapers, etc. Because of all that, though, whenever we pull off doing an activity that our children love and that creates awesome memories, it is not a small feat! It is a HUGE success!!! We feel a real sense of accomplishment that is so gratifying.
So, I guess the great thing about amusement parks, or other fun activities that we can take our kids to, is that it is a win win situation. The kids win fun, exciting memories, and the parents win fun, fulfilling memories.
Darling pictures of you and your cute family. I agree, adults really do take on the brunt of the worrying, but it looks like you didn't have to worry too much. Your cute kiddos look to me like they had a blast! You look great by the way! :)
