Miracle Strip!

We got up this morning and headed to the beach for the day. The girls got season passes to Miracle Strip for Christmas and Julia has been asking to go for months, but they just opened last week. She was most excited about the bumper cars but they weren't even open yet.

They started out with the Swing Sharks.

Then we moved on to the Butterfly Boat Ride.

After the boat ride we walked to the back of the park where the bigger rides are. I tried to get Julia to ride the Ferris Wheel or the Sea Dragon but she didn't want any part of it. She said they were too scary and picked the hot air balloons instead.

We got off the hot air balloons and Julia looked at the next ride, the tilt-a-whirl, and said "I wanna ride that". Every ride we passed prior to that was "too scary" so, when we got in line I totally expected her to back out, but she didn't.

Julia loved the tilt-a-whirl and got off wanting more. We rode the scrambler, rock-o-planes, and the tilt-a-whirl again. She wanted to ride the bullet but Michael wasn't so sure about that.

 After all that we got a sno-cone and headed back up to the "kiddie" rides to ride the tea cups.

Of course we couldn't walk past a carousel without riding it!

They also rode the airplanes, cars, and caterpillar before we left. They both had a blast and I know we'll be spending lots of time there this summer!

After we left Miracle Strip we went by the beach house to change clothes before we met the Robley's for dinner at Captain Andersons.

 

We had a fun day at the beach but I'm ready for us to go spend a few days there, not just day trips!
