An Adventure

Per the norm, our trip home was action packed with fun. But, between traveling, posting milestones, and such, I haven't had a chance to share all that we did while on our second tour of the Midwest.

While Scott and I were tailgating fools my parents took Marcus to Adventureland.

If you aren't familiar with Adventureland you are obviously not from Iowa. It's basically the only theme park in the entire state. Many a memories were made there while growing up.

When my parents told me they were taking Marcus I was a little apprehensive. Certainly taking Marcus would be nothing short of a nightmare for my folks, there wouldn't be a ride he could go on, there's no way this trip was going to work for anyone...

I think I was wrong. 

Marcus was able to ride on several rides!
According to Grandpa and Grandma the boat ride was Marcus' favorite. I'm not shocked at all.
Marcus and Grandma even went on the ski lift (lower right photo).

Grandpa D snagged a video of Marcus on the boat, and I can't stop watching it. There's something about it I find hilarious.

Of course there was a train, and naturally Marcus needed a ride. 

Carnival type games were played (by Grandpa) and prizes were won. 

How fitting that he won a monkey!

Grandma said within minutes of leaving the park Marcus was lights out.

What a fun filled day!

Maybe we can make Adventureland a regular summer stop when we visit Iowa. I'd love for Marcus to create as many memories there as I did as a child.
