On Friday, we went to spend some time (and money!) at Tinkertown together with cousins L, C, and T. L looked a little worried when we arrived. The rides all looked “too fast” for him. He quickly found out that the small cars were just his thing. K went along without a fuss, but it took her a while to become confident that nothing bad was going to happen to her.
The adults had to hold on to the small people on the merry-go-round. We’re not sure who got more dizzy on the ride, the adults or the kids. K wasn’t really a fan. She wanted to go down.
I suggested to L, not thinking that he would be up for it, that we should check out the roller coaster. To my great surprise, he was enthusiastic. I guess he had had enough time to get comfortable with the place. I expected him to change his mind when we had our first go-round, but I think the roller coaster turned out to be his favourite ride. 
We ended the evening by going on the ferris wheel together. I think the experience may have changed K forever. She was definitely not a fan. Every time we came over the top, she cringed and cried. Then later, between 4 and 6 AM, she had nightmares. We’re hoping the emotional scars aren’t very big ones.
Uh oh. Now you’ve gone and done it for K. (shaking head)
