This morning, Emily, Maizie, my parents, and I went to the Woodburn tulip festival. It was a lot of fun for all of us, but especially for Maizie!
The first activity Maizie did was play with the rubber duck races. You put one or more rubber duckies in a little trough and pump water to make them go. She didn't actually race anybody, but nevertheless, she had fun.
Next, she went on the big slide. I was pretty nervous having her go alone because I was imagining her getting scared of the slide (or bored, because she ended up going down pretty slowly) and then climbing off the side because she doesn't understand that she could get hurt. She ended up doing fine. All the times after that, I went with her. The reason I didn't go with her the first time is I didn't get through the bar thing that was at the top fast enough.
After that, Maizie and I went on the cow train. Pretty much the whole time, she was making a constant sound with her voice, like she was waiting for it to vibrate from the bumps we went over. The bumps didn't really cause her voice to vibrate, but she continued making the sound anyway. It was funny. She was very patient as we waited to leave, though, which I was happy about.
After the cow train, Maizie rode a pony. There were several ponies attached to a thing that made it so they could only walk in a circle.
Next, Maizie wanted to go back on the big slide. She had to wait for our turn, though, which she wasn't happy about, as you can tell from the picture:
She instantly cheered up once it was our turn, though:
Next, Maizie went in this "Finding Nemo" bouncy house thing:
She had a pretty good time. When it was time to be done, she let the young lady in charge take her out and she didn't freak out about her being a stranger.
Next, Maizie went on a trampoline with assisted jumping. She had a lot of fun with it!
After that, I went on the zip line. Being at the top was kind of scary because it was shaky. It didn't end up being super fun or anything, but it was fairly fun.
Lastly, Maizie went back in the bouncy house thing.
So let's see... the ducky races, the big slide, the cow train, the pony ride, the bouncy house, and the trampoline. That's six different activities! It was pretty fun.
