Luna Park

About a kilometer from our apartment is one of the Melbourne's famous landmarks, Luna Park. Luna Park is an "old school" amusement park similar to Coney Island or the Santa Cruz Boardwalk. The kids had been asking to go for months so on a chilly afternoon in April we went and they loved it.
This is how Jared plays games! He was quite proficient in getting the balls, but did get his head stuck on the way out.
Can you tell which ride Jared liked most? He refused to get off and rode for almost an entire hour.


One of the hit rides of the afternoon was Shock Drop. Colin was not keen to go on it at first and reluctantly went with Bella. As you can see from the first two pictures, Colin did not like the ride and left Bella to ride on her own. At the end of the day, Colin had gotten over his initial fears, loved this ride and went on all of the big roller coasters.

What a fun day! That looks like so much fun. I love the picture of Jared "helping" out at the basketball shoot.

The first shot of Colin on the ride is exactly how I feel about rides that drop. I don't know why my girls are so weird. I'm pretty sure they would not have been riding with your girls.

Look at you giving distances in kilometers now instead of miles....just another clue that you've been out of the states too long! This looks like a fun day down under!
