Guys- it's been about a year since I've blogged. SHAME. I'm going to do better. Promise. Working on being more disciplined these days. ;)
Let's talk about our trip to TWEETSIE! My mom won tickets at her school last year and gave us four free tickets. Yay! We decided to make a day trip up there to save money, but also because our weekend was jam-packed already.
We had a blast! Landin's favorite part was torn between riding the big Tweetsie train and us buying him his 3rd pair of handcuffs. Ha :) Clara says she loved the train too but really, my quality time girl just loved being with us all day. We are a lot alike in that area. Any time spent as a foursome is really great in my book. BUT she also had her first positive animal experience. Clara isn't real fond of animals, but a cute baby goat stole her heart.
Two of my favorite highlights were riding the Tweetsie train and the little petting zoo where you get to feed the animals. Both kids laughed so hard.
Tips if you are planning a trip:
1. You can do the whole park in 3-4 hours. Other than the train it's just a bunch of carnival rides.
2. Ride the big train on the way in and out. We like to get in at least 2 rides while we are there.
3. When riding the big Tweetsie train- sit on the right side and middle car so you get a better view of the shows along the ride.
4. Bring your own food!! We made this mistake the first time we went. There is really only one place to eat and all has is junk food. Now- don't get me wrong, I'm not 100% healthy 24/7, but I don't like my kids to eat fried foods and sodas all day, which are your only options.
5. Swallow the anxiety and take the chair lift up to another part of the park. I had a slight heart attack taking my kids on this because it's high and there is literally nothing holding them in, but the view on the way down is amazing. Just hold on tight to the little ones. ;)
6. Bring a few dollars to feed the animals. Totally worth it.
