A Maine Summer - Week 1 (cnt)

This past weekend we headed to Funtown / Splashtown in Portland Maine. I have fond memories of going to Funtown growing up every summer. Of course, it has changed much and now has a huge water park attached. The kids had SOO much fun. I had lots of hands with my parents, sister, and Sam's two sisters in attendance. I ended up spending most of the time with my sister and two nieces riding the 'grown up' slides.

A VERY tired Nicholas before his nap in the stroller - he slept for 2 1/2 hrs which was nice for everyone.

That's all I have for photos at Splashtown but I know Susan has lots more!
After 6 hours of swimming, it was time to change and head to the amusement park side.

Emma giving Nicholas a ride

Nicholas had a lot of fun on the bumper boats and had it all to himself. When it was time to be done, the operator walked over and told him. Nicholas simply looked at him and said 'No'. Now, if you know Nicholas, you'll find the humor in this as Nicholas is VERY stubborn and we could see this turning bad. We just chuckled and I waited to have to climb in after him. The operator chased him around the pool for awhile and then finally Nicholas was good to come out. It was very comical.

After this, we separated. The bad part about Funtown is that once a child hits 48" they cannot go on any kiddie rides. So, Ben had to go on the big rides. I took the two little boys and we hit the kiddie part solo. There were no lines and they jumped on and off as they wanted to. They also repeated several. They got on, off and right back on the train at least 5 times. They had a BLAST.

Enjoying the SLOWEST ride at Funtown. These canoes went sooooo slow. It took forever to make a lap. I really don't know how they found it fun and wanted to do it two times.



All the parents were lined up yelling to the kids to explain how to push/pull the bar to make the helicopter go up and down. It was very funny

The swings didn't work out so well, as they spent the entire ride kicking the swing in front of them and trying to rock it. I was waiting for the operator to stop the ride and pull them off!
