Phoenix Fun

On our last visit, Grandma J took us to an awesome park that we practically had to drag Noah away from by the end of the day.  Freestone Park in Gilbert, AZ only has four rides, but for only $9 Noah got to ride those four rides as many times as he wanted! I don't remember what time we arrived in the morning, but Noah had so much fun that we left the park to get lunch and then had to go back so Noah could go on the rides a few more times (it was the only way we could get him to leave for lunch in the first place, haha). 

The four rides at the park include a train, a carousel, a wave runner (jet skis that go around in a circle), and a mini Ferris wheel.  I lost count of how many times Noah went on each ride!

Lucas spent most of the day sleeping or eating, and occasionally watching his brother go around and around :-)

Noah was the most excited about riding on the train!

The first time Noah and Ely rode on the carousel, Noah insisted on sitting on these chairs...of course, after the ride started and he realized that he wasn't going to be going up and down he got really upset and wanted to switch mid-ride :-)

 Well, it may not be the "shaka" he was going for, but Noah has the Volcan salute down ;-)

 

The Wave Runner

Noah was really weirded out by the wristband they gave him to wear.  For the first 20ish minutes, he wouldn't put his arm down! Ely would attempt to lower Noah's arm, and Noah would slowly raise it back up :-)  We finally had to tuck it under his shirt sleeve so he would forget about it.

 Noah can't pass up a chance to drive a car!

Back on the carousel with a better seat :) 

 

Noah was really excited about riding on the Ferris wheel until we got to the front of the line...and then he decided he wanted to go on the carousel again, haha! 

We were finally able to convince him to give the Ferris wheel a shot, and of course he loved it and wanted to ride on it multiple times :-)
