Phantasia Land

We had planned to do something Labor day weekend months ago, but our plans to go to Prague for the long weekend slowly fell through as the prospect of a 7 hour drive two weeks after our trip to Spain and two weeks before the arrival of a guest seemed a little too much for even us to handle.  We were still trying to figure out what we wanted to do right up until the last minute when we decided to take Reese to Phantasia Land for the day.  Phantasia Land is a theme park just outside Cologne and only ended up being an hour and fifteen minute drive from our house which was exactly the length of time we were willing to sit in the car.  We had looked online and it looked like Reese would be tall enough to ride the majority of the rides and we were pleased when we got there to find out that despite the fact that she was 1cm too short for the majority of them, they only measured her at one ride so she was able to go on all the rest.

   

Right as we walked in Reese saw this red dragon and was very excited.  She was a little wary of getting close to it at first but ended up going over with Nate to shake his hand.

 

Reese’s favorite ride was, as always, the carousel.  She loves riding on the horses so we probably rode the carousel 10 different times throughout the day

 

Nate got the luxury of squeezing in to this tiny little plane with her, she had so much fun riding rides with Daddy all day long.

 

Reese told me that this mini ferris wheel, went fast and I laughed.

More carousel photos, I told you we went on it a ridiculous number of times.

 

This ride scared me the most because she had to go all by herself, but she was so happy to get to ride with all the other kids (I was scared for nothing as it was the least scary ride that every existed)

 

We ended the day by all going on a log ride, we had gotten fast passes to any ride in the park earlier when a ride we were waiting in line for broke down so we walked right past the long line and jumped on.  By the end of the day Reese was ready to pass out, she’d stayed awake the entire day and she’s definitely a nap girl.  The second we got in the car she fell asleep and didn’t wake up until we were turning on our street.
