On Friday we sent Sue to play at the Lagoon amusement park with her brother and sister. This was for her 28th birthday which is actually on Sunday July 11th.
While they played, Joe and I took our grandkids to Thanksgiving Point where we have season passes. Our guests get in for half price ($2) and babies/toddlers are free.
First we went to the farm area where the kids rode on ponies (free):
Joe took Jacob on the wagon ride, because I was pretty sure he was too little for ponies. After the wagon ride Joe (alias: grandpa) used my unused ticket to Put Jacob on a pony anyway. It didn't go well. After two loops around the ring (Jacob crying the whole way) grandpa gave it up and put him back in his stroller.
After that we had a little picnic and then we strolled around some more, looking at the rest of the farm animals.As if being terrified by the pony ride wasn't enough, Jacob had another bad experience. We were looking at a big milk cow which decided to stick it's head out of the railing. It stuck it's nose in Jacobs stroller and licked him! Jacob was hysterical! I pulled Jacob away as fast as I could and tried to comfort him.
After calming him we walked by the next corral where a miniature pony also stuck it's head out for attention. Jacob was done with this place!
At this rate, he'll have no love for big animals.
On the other hand the girls had a good time.

When we had done all we could at the little farm, we went to the Childrens discovery area, attached to the Gardens. Here the kids could play in the water. This was, finally, something that Jacob enjoyed a lot:

So, that was our little adventure as grandparents. I have a lot of respect for the work my daughter does.
