Mikko wasn't sure what he thought of the roller coaster…

…until he got on it. Then he went on it probably fifteen times in a row.
He still talks about it often, 3+ months later.
Don't let his expression fool you — that's his posing face, as you'll see.

Why does big brother get to have all the fun?

Fortunately there was a baby section.

And I was able to sneak Alrik onto a slow-going, mini-carousel with me by noncommittally answering the question of whether he could walk. (Real answer then: "Not far.")

Fortunately, he's a happy baby.

Thank goodness for babywearing to get around in a large, busy space!
It was Sam's turn to hold him, and my turn to ride…

Woo! Watch as I emote for both of us.

Mikko called these swings "monkey bobo swings," for no reason we could fathom, and insisted we also ride them a dozen times. Until I was dizzy enough.

Sitting up front to ring the bell!
(Alrik wasn't even allowed on this mini train here that went, like, 2 miles an hour.)

Clearly only one of us knows how to pose properly in a theme park photo op.

Yes, exactly, Alrik! That's how it's done.

That was a successfully amusing day.
