After the bumper cars we decided to head outside for more rides. Here is Pop-pop in front of the cool moving pirate ship:
Wyatt and William rode on the mini-rollercoaster together:
William was ready to ride and got ride in the front car. It was cool to see them both together on the rollercoaster:
Even though Wyatt got a little terrified:
Everyone went through this cool pirate ship fun house. Here is Daddy taking the plunge of the ship!
Mommy chose to ride on the Merry Mixer with Wyatt. What a great idea, Mommy...
NOT! Just kidding, We both loved it and Mommy made lots of silly noises so Wyatt was laughing the whole time.
Uncle John, Nonna, and William all in one. Looks like they felt similar to Mommy.
Another big development Wyatt was tall enough to ride on these helecopters without Mommy. It was neat to watch him be able to get on by himself and to see him bigger than the measure mark when they measured him. Wyatt had to be 36" tall and last time he was measured he was at 38" (measured in old ponies in the Spring). We can't wait to see how tall Wyatt will be in February since we are hoping to take him to Disney then. He should be tall enough to get on some of the big rides like splash mountain. Then he could really hear Mommy makes some noises and screams.
Daddy decided that he was ready to get on some big rides. Here he is on the inverter. This ride was actually really cool because you spun around and around and went upside down. Mommy is thinking when we go back in a month or so she may give this one a try:
"I aint scared of no ghosts" skeletons that is a whole nother story!
Wyatt and William told Nonna and Pop-pop just how scarey it was in Pirate's Cove. It was cute both of them were going a mile a minute talking about all the skeletons and scarey pirates in there.
The mirror maze where not only do you get totally lost but you get lost in a place where you can see a million 360 degree images of yourself (so Mommy stayed out in order to preserve her pride- that is all Mommy needs to be reminded that she has neither beauty nor brains). Here is Wyatt making his way through the maze without assistance:
Looks like Nonna got trapped or maybe there isn't good cell service in there- LOL.
After a little wait William decided to run back in and show everyone the way out. William saves the day:
THE HAUNTED HOUSE!!!!!
Wyatt on the second floor, he was so happy when we emerged outside and he thought he had survived the ride little did he know there was so much more to come. Poor thing:
At the end of the Haunted House Wyatt kept saying, "I did it!" . He was so proud of himself for being so brave and so was Mommy. Wyatt has been talking a lot about monsters and has developed quite the imagination so it was cool to see him be able to make it through the Haunted House.
Wyatt and William had a blast playing games together. Wyatt has been really working on his skee ball skills. He can now basically make the ball all the way up by himself without having it come right back to him which means Mommy's free play is now gone.
They were boarding up all the stores and restaurants on the boardwalk in preparation for Irene. When we went back to our room we got a call saying that we had to evacuate Boardwalk One by 7 pm. Nonna and Pop-pop got the same call at Sea watch so we all packed up our things and headed home.
It was a huge bummer to have to leave our vacation so early. Mommy really wanted to see Wyatt on the beach and was so excited to get to see him in the water in his swimsuit. Mommy and Daddy are thinking it may be a good idea to head back out there soon for another weekend so just you wait there will be more beach fun to come:
We recieved word that there was an evacuation in place for Ocean City from midnight to 5 pm the next day due to hurricane Irene so we decided to head over to the arcade to play some games before heading back to the room.
