On the adivce on some mommies, we took our brood to Gilroy Gardens. This is a great place for toddlers! Nestled in Gilroy, hidden amongst several micro-gardens are "thrill rides" for the yard apes, playgrounds, and more benches per square foot than I have ever seen at a theme park. I saw more strollers than any baby store I've ever visited. Perhaps the best attraction was the gigantic playground covered in the shade. I think he would have spent hours there if he could have.
If we had any doubt that Scrumpy was a thrill seeker, those days are over. He loved the rides. Even when we stopped at the top of the ferris wheel, he was completely thrilled. He didn't really take to the concept of waiting in line very well. When the exit gates opened, he wormed his way in. I can't really blame him though, as to him, this seemed like the route of least congestion so why not take that path? We just had to keep an extra careful eye on that. He is also very much programmed to be a boy. He kept trying to climb the railings, crawl between the railings, etc. If I could have chased him around with antibacterial gel all I day I would have, but I think Patrick would have thought I was neurotic.
I cannot wait to take him on his first roller coaster ride.
