The Childrens Grand Park

What a wonderful day we had today at The Childrens Grand Park. I have been wanting to go to this park since we got here and am so glad we made it today. Unfortunately, Josh is out of the country and was not able to go with us so we invited some good friends of ours to join us. The kids had so much fun....I am not even sure where to start. We started with a short subway ride to the park. The boys LOVE taking the subway trains. Once inside the park, we spent some time at a few of the many playground they have to offer. We then spent most of our time at the "amuzement park" part. There we several different rides for the boys to do. Austin could do most of the rides but was unable to do the bumper cars and the roller coaster. Speaking of the roller coaster....WOW.....Aiden went on it with our friends while I stay with Austin. We did not realize the one they got on was the BIG one. We thought it was the little one....we were in for a suprise. It was a full blown roller coaster complete with a large hill, a flip and two cork screws!!!! I almost had a heart attack sitting on the ground realizing that was the one they were on!!!! Aiden was a little scared when he first got off but said he really liked it and wants to do it again. Then, after we got done riding rides, we went to the zoo part of the park. It was a small but nice zoo with a little bit of everything. We got to see the water bird, small animal zoo, petting zoo, several bears, and big cats, monkeys and many more. The elephant they had there was HUGE!!!! Then, we headed over to let the kids ride the camel. Austin was too small to ride it alone so I bought him a ticket to ride the pony. The kids loved that as you can tell from the pictures below. Then we finished off with another playground and the subway ride back home. It was a long but very enjoyable day. I look forward to going back real soon before the weather gets too cold. The boys are already wanting to go back and take daddy next time. Enjoy the pictures below :)
