This picture was taken quite a while ago now (on April 18th!). I wanted to scan the bigger and better picture of it before I blogged about it, but I haven’t done it yet and the Boardwalk just came up again recently, so I’ll blog about it now and post the cute pictures later.
Anyway, that day was a very big Boardwalk day for Dylan. It was his first time riding the log ride (he is finally tall enough!) and his first time riding the kiddie roller coaster (the Sea Serpent)…and let me tell ya, it made an impression!
First off, he was so excited, he couldn’t stop talking about it for days. Even now, he talks about the Boardwalk pretty often (note how Heather chalked out a spot in our backyard for the Boardwalk!) and just the other day, we had this conversation:
Me: How was school today?
Dylan: Good. I told my teachers that when I’m biiiig…I’m going to work at the Boardwalk….
Me:Oh! Really? What’s your job gonna be?
Dylan: I’m gonna be a controller…on the rides and….
Me: You mean like a ride operator?
Dylan: Yup. And I’m…and I’m gonna drive the cave train……….
Yes, it’s definitely good to have goals! And, honestly, who knows. If the Boardwalk is still around when he’s old enough to work, maybe he really will work there! Anyway, I’ll post the absolutely adorable pictures of his maiden voyages on these “big kid” rides as soon as I’ve got them scanned.
