July 8

We went to Adventureland today. The weather was supposed to be partly cloudy and 85. When we left it was way cloudy and only about 61. On our drive down we had sprinkles of rain so I thought it was a good chance that we had a down pour at some time during the day. We pulled in around 10:30 to a touch of sun. Our first ride was the Ferris Wheel. Cautious Campbell, of course didn't want to go on it. We made him. He liked it but didn't want to go on it again. Then on to the Teacups, which from Disneyland we knew he liked. Next in line was the Der Flinger, the umbrella seats that circle around. Jamison could not wait he was a little jitterbug, not so for Cautious Campbell he wanted to know if he had to go on the ride. We made him. He loved it and wanted to go on it again. This became a theme of the day. After the 3rd time of him saying he didn't want to go on that, I said that he had to go on at least 2 more rides that he didn't want to so he could get a souvenir, he also had to go on a roller coaster with me. The two rides? The log ride and the Raging River. Both were a hit with Campbell not so much with Jamison. Campbell had to go on both of them again. Jamison went on the motorcycles. Anyone from Schleswig will recognize them as the same cars that are at Calf Show Days. This was Jamison's favorite ride I think he was on it a total of 12 times. Since the day didn't ever get into the 80s, I really didn't need to wear a sleeveless shirt but it didn't ever rain. Our longest wait on any ride was 10 minutes. I got soaked on both water rides. The roller coaster that was picked was the Underground (this is so not a roller coaster but after it I couldn't get Campbell to try another one.) Below is Campbell's favorite ride and he was actually never coaxed to go on this. He picked it all by himself. We only made it through about half the park. Jamison woke up the next day asking to go back to that park.
