Last One

Once the arena show was over it was time for some action and the Giant Slide was right outside so that is where we went.  As we were contemplating who was to go first and who was going to mind the stroller and take photos, a guy came up to us and gave us about 8 free passes for the slide.  Thank you very much kind man. 

Ethan is a bit of a speed demon so he loved the giant slide, even Toby wanted to have more goes.  Sam wasn't particularly enthusiastic after the first run, as it was fast and bumpy, almost launching you into the air.  Mind you Toby's face looked a little freaked out but he wanted more.






The boys spent most of the time at the show asking "When do we go on the Dodgems?".  So saving the best till last we found the Dodgems.  The boys loved the Dodgems and had been talking and dreaming of them all week so we spent lots of time on them. I'm kind of suprised none of us has whip lash from the maniac drivers, that is us bumping into each other, particularly Sam, mad driver.










Donald took Sam & Ethan on the roller coaster ride, which they thought was a blast, I was suprised to see no tears or funny tummys after. Donald also had a crack at the money sucking hammer thingy that wins no prizes, just a bruised ego.  Mind you he hit it so hard that I'm suprised it didn't break. 






After our tickets and money were all used up we found ourselves watching the dogs flyball.  Now I'd never seen or heard of this before, but it was so much fun to watch.  Two teams of about 5 dogs each run a relay over small jumps to the end to release a fly ball they have to catch and run back through the posts for the next dog to be released to do the same.  So much fun for the dogs and owners, there's a constant barking of excited dogs, and ooing and aaahing as the different sized dogs run the relay.

We spent a good hour watching this before we headed out the gates for home, with empty hands (no show bags) and pockets (no money) but with smiles on all of our faces after a fantastic day was had by all.

I can see why Sam didn't want to go on the big slide again - he looks like he is almost off of his cloth bag. It does look like a blast though.

You guys look like you had a day to remember. Next year you will have to let us Americans tag along with you.

No bags? I heard that is a must - although I have also heard they cost a fortune. So no bags isn't a bad thing right?
