SDC in April

Heather and I took the kids to Silver Dollar City today, even though weather forecasters were warning of storms and tornados.  When we left at 10:00 am the skies were clear and the sun was shining, so we decided to go for it.

This was my first time this year and Cael's first time ever. 

We are so thankful for the $6 parking lot that is close enough to walk with our strollers.  Much easier that loading them on the tram with the kids.

First.....to the Frogs.  We weren't sure what Cael would do, but he rode it.  Hard to tell what he thought of it, though.

These boys sure are cute, but not very happy at the moment.  After watching the others ride the swings, the tea cups and the very fast pirate ship, they got to get out of their strollers and play in the ball area in Geyser Gulch.  Jude loved putting the balls in the air chute.  But, soon after we got there, the attendant came around telling everyone they had to leave the area.  She said they have a sensor system that detects when there is lightning in the vicinity and when that happens, the rides shut down.  She said we did not have to leave the park, just that area.  One the one hand, I'm glad they have that protection, but on the other hand, we would have liked to play some more.

We decided that we would go ahead and leave.  We had been there a couple of hours and got to ride some rides and have our frozen lemonade.  Oh, the great thing about season passes....we'll be going back again and again.

Maybe we'll see you there,
