Ever been to Storyland?

It's a great place, really...an adult beverage stand would be a welcome improvement for the legions of tired parents...but that's a minor detail.

Sig's favorite ride was the whirling turtles, while Henning was decidedly less interested in the ups and downs of the park's only roller or should I say, 'Polar Coaster'. He favored Alice's Tea Cups and the Clockenspiel, I think Auntie Lee was close to a liquid yawn on the Clockenspiel, not totally sure but it looked like it.

Storyland's sprawling park kept us busy for the better part of a day and a half over an extended weekend. We shared our time with Grandma Kathy, who made for a great ride companion for our boys, and of course Harry, CJ, Auntie Lee & Uncle Ed...whose prior visits gave us fair warning for what to expect. Thankfully, pure chance left Uncle Ed in probably the wettest seat on the Geyser ride. Sig had more than his fair share of ice cream which made a repeat appearance overnight on Saturday and I have a new found interest in hula hooping thanks to the Russian Royal Hanneford Circus, air condition that tent fellas. Sig obviously lacks an appreciation for trained domestic cats walking on tightropes but that sophistication only comes with age.
I think we can safely say, "We'll be back."
