Heart Therapy

Yesterday we took our annual trip to Adventureland. 
Its like Christmas for the kids. 
This year was even better because we went with Jordan's parents, 2 sisters and kids, as well as Jordan's uncle and cousin and their kids. We were quite the crew.

I ended up with these 2 most of the day, just the 3 of us.
The older kids were off with Jordan and older cousins on the big rides and while I would have liked to have been there for some of that, this was just what I needed. 
It was easy and fun. 
Hearing their giggles and seeing their constant smiles was just the type of therapy my weary heart needed.
Tori was just precious and excited all day. It took her a bit to warm up to the rides.
At the very end we went on the tea cups one last time. 
She had not liked this ride at first. 
But this time she was ready. 
She walked right up to the guy at the controls, patted his leg and said, 'not too fast ok?'
It was my favorite part of the day. 
Probably his too.
(nice smile Tess!)

They did the boats like 5 times...pretending they were Troy behind the wheel!

The Frog Hopper is always one of the bigger hits. 
We met up with all the little cousins for this ride and even got Grandma to join in the fun!

And then there is this guy.
Can you say limitless energy and patience?
He carried kids and ran through the park to keep everyone happy and hydrated all day.  
He does my weary heart good too.
