Miss Fearless (and Grumpy-kins) go to the Amusement Park

For this summer, Kyler and I have splurged a little and bought season passes to Calaway Park. We got them before the park opened for the season, so we were able to get them for $40 each... instead of $110 each or $108 for a single day. Yeah, $40 doesn't sound so bad when you put it that way...
I've been wanting to visit "Western Canada's Largest Outdoor Amusement Park" for a while now, but I was always pregnant or had a little baby or something. So, this was it. Our opportunity. And we seized it.
We have been twice now (which means we're already ahead in $!), and it was been a lot of fun.
This little girl... she's fearless.
 From the very first ride (with daddy!)...
 Or the first one by herself...
She's been nothing but smiles.
During and after every ride, all she says is, "This is so fun! This is the best ride ever!"
Especially if she has some control!
Even the "scary" big-kid type rides that she's allowed on, ones that make other kids cry, what does she do?
Thumbs up, no fear...
I think she only started screaming because everyone else did. She thought it was funny.

Her brother, on the other hand...
 He seems to think sitting on a ride is torture.
 He sometimes gets better when it actually starts moving, but not much.
 His favorite "rides" are the height measure boards at every ride:
What a fun place it is! All smiles here!
And rocks. So, while one of us rides fun rides with Calista, the other watches Craig climb and throw rocks, and everyone is happy.

I'm kind of amazed by how many rides Calista is allowed to do, and even more impressed by how willing she is to try all of them. Maybe by the end of the season, Craig will be willing to do a ride or two, as well...
