Canobie Lake Park Part 2

So the little guy is asleep and I thought I would update the blog from this evening's activities. It was still raining up until about 6:30. I thought it looked like it was slowing down so we went over to the Rockingham Mall. Kameron needed goggles for the pool (he forgot his) and I needed water shoes for the park tomorrow. It was pouring when we got there...

We had trouble finding goggles. This mall is huge and none of the stores listed would carry goggles except one or two. Finally we found a store that sold goggles, Olympia. Luckily they also sold water shoes, on sale, so all set. We left the mall and the rain had stopped so we drove up the road to the park.

I got this nice reflection of the ferris wheel in the puddle outside the park. Everyone was soaked!! I think Kam and I were the only dry ones in the park!! Big puddles everywhere.

We decided to return to the 'extreme' dragon coaster and this time I went on with him. He said it was much 'funner' then last year. I said I was a bit nervous to which he replied, but you weren't last year so you shouldn't be now. We rode both circuits with our hands in the air. Oh, the excitement of a roller coaster, especially one with a dragon head on front.

Then he talked me into the caterpillar ride again!! He needed to see what it was like in the dark, that it must have been very dark under there and he needed to see it. Yes, it is much darker than the daylight, and just as disorienting!!

The skyride was cool at night, with all the lights. I think Kam said he forgot that canobie 'twinkles' at night. It is pretty, the ferris wheel is mesmerizing at night.

Then we finally got a ride on the antique cars because there was no line. Kam drove and was pretty excited that he stayed on the road and did not get a speeding ticket. He was very proud of this fact.

He did the helicopter ride, which he seemed to really like and played a couple more games. Won a finger lock with one game and another Smurf with the Whac A Mole...quite the array of prizes to bring home.

We opted to leave before the fireworks, about 8:45. Kam was getting tired and so was yours truly. The room sounded good, rest and put our feet up, get something to eat that wasn't too heavy. We were going to take a swim so Kam could try out his new goggles...but then he got a tummy ache,. It cleared up quickly though.

Tomorrow off to Water Country...hopefully the weather holds out for us.

Kam and Grandma Sue say goodby to Canobie!! We had fun!!
