More Tilting and Whirling

One of the other highlights of the day for Dexy was the Tilt-a-Whirl. He asked to ride the "Tilt-a-Coaster" again and then on the ride home announced that the "Tilt-a-Roller" was one of his favorite rides he's ever been on in his whole life.

Caboosing It

Dexter got to sit by himself in the caboose of the Winter Wonderland train.

Afterwards, he couldn't wait to tell us that "where the train went it turned to night and then back to day!"In retrospect, riding the train was one of the highlights of the day for Dexy.

Li'l Ice Sk8r

Dexter was sooooo excited to try ice skating for the first time.In retrospect, he reports that ice skating was his least favorite Winter Wonderland activity but he was glad he tried it.

Standing up and balancing on the skates took a little getting used to.

Dexy got pretty tired waiting to get onto the ice and decided to have a seat on the floor periodically.

Dex held onto the wall and my hand most of the time. He had pretty good balance but complained about his feet hurting and insisted on getting off the ice after going only 1/4 of the way around the rink.

Daddy had to lift him over the side while Mommy skated all the way around to the exit but not until after Dexter skated a little without holding onto the wall (still holding onto Mommy - my aching back).
