Girl gone Wildwood, on the rides


I've been on the carousel dozens of times, and on Sesame Place rides, and even on rides at Wildwood last year, but this trip was the first time that everything clicked for me. Now I've turned into an amusement park junkie like Dad! Every night, we went onto the boardwalk and I excitedly went on ride after ride. Mom and Dad didn't force me on anything; when I got off one ride I told them exactly what I wanted to go on next. And some rides I even went on all by myself! Can you believe it? Lots of kids around me—many of them older than I am—cried on some of the rides, but not me! I loved them all!

Here's a look at several of the rides I braved at Wildwood, including the boats...



And the carousel...


And the cars...


And the crazy bus...


And the swings...



And the airplanes!


You see the roller coaster in the back? I've already told Dad that "when I get older," I'm going to go on the roller coaster with him. I've been practicing screaming like everyone does on the coaster so I'll be all ready for the big day! Let's take a look at video too (at the end, you can see me running around the beach ball "statues" that I like to touch everytime we pass them on the boardwalk):



There's a few other rides I went on as well, like the elephants, the smaller ferris wheel (the cars are the shape of balloons) and the pirate ship that floated around the park. I can't wait to go back next year and take Henry on all of them!
