Last weekend we decided to take Will to our treasured amusement park in Pittsburgh, Kennywood. This was particularly nostalgic for me as I spent many a summer day trekking around Kennywood with my friends growing up. Will LOVED Kiddieland and had a blast riding the rides. Joe and I were a bit cautious at first, only taking him on the rides we could ride with him thinking he would be reluctant to go on any by himself. We were quite sure he wouldn't venture into the ride with the stranger high-schoolers escorting him onto the large moving contraptions that spun around dizzily where he couldn't reach his beloved parents because of the fence that separated us. HA! He marched right in everytime, held the hand of the nearest Kiddieland worker, climbed right up, and only looked back to laugh and wave at us! My heart was broken that my little guy was so willing to embark on such exciting adventures without me. All I could think was kindergarten will be here all too soon and I'll be left standing at the bus stop. I was really proud of his try-anything spirit though and we had so much fun watching him take it all in. It is a memory we will always treasure and the beginning of a family tradition! Here are some pictures of our little Evil Knievel!
