Ahh, now you remember? How Terrified Joel was last year of any rides? Well! we went to the Elkhart County 4-H Fair the other day. We got him a wrist band again. I feared that it would go the same as last year. A lot of screaming, forcing, and him TRYING to be brave enough to get on the rides.
Well.
Ladies and gentlemen, let me tell you what. Joel LOVED the rides this year! He loved them so much that he was jumping up and down the whole time we were in line for them.
He rode those rides until we had to drag him away from them!
and he still loved the bunnies. we had to drag him away from those as well.
The helicopter. Only the Spiderman one of course.
He really like the boats as well. While in line, you can put your hands in the water and play. In line wasn't a big deal. Although, 5 kids (and their parents mind you) budged Joel. One mom even asked me, "are you in line?" i said yes, and she stepped in front of me! Maybe i should have said something, but is it really worth it? No. It's a Kiddie Ride at a fair. Seriously. Joel was so patient! He was such a good example :)
Again, the Carousel. Really bud? You'll go up in the air high, bug you won't ride a fake horse?!
And then, the train. He rode this ride probably a dozen times. I wish i would have got a picture of him and his new friend, Anna. She looked at him and really spunky said, "You need to hold my hand. I'll help you ride this train." Joel smiled and loved that a "big kid" was talking to him. Her mom came up and apologized for her forthright nature. I didn't mind. Joel loved having someone to ride with!
We're so proud of you, buddy! You were so brave today!
