Let the Fun Begin...Valleyfair!

Whenever I told people I was from Shakopee, I inevitably would get the question,"Do you go to Valleyfair all the time?" And not since 8th grade was I able to say, "Yes!" as it was the last time I had a season pass. But not this summer...I once again have a Valleyfair Season Pass! Holla! For Christmas, my parents gave all of us (children and grandchildren) a season pass. So last night, my mom, Butter, Kerri, Kassi, Josh, Josie, Elias, Tyler (not grandchild, but close family friend) and I used our passes for the first time. Isabel and Ethan are freebies...no season pass required. :) It was a very light crowd and just so nice to be able to go out for a couple hours without the pressure of planning to have to stay for ump-teen hours on end because the price of admission is on the high side.

Valleyfair replaced their Bernsteins' Bear kid section with Planet Snoopy, which I was excited to check out for Isabel. We were not disappointed. Isabel went on her first rides unattended! I can't say she loved them, but she definitely didn't scream and cry. She was what I would call indifferent as the photos below show. There are many more she could ride "accompanied by a responsible person." I rode Lucy's Tugboat with her (see video), but I think that might be my last time...motion sickness stinks, by the way, and as I get older it gets worse.







Now, Butter and Josh on the other hand loved the Peanuts' Playhouse. I guess Planet Snoopy is dubbed a place for the "whole family!"

It was a nice little preview to the summer...we didn't even get to go to the Soak City Waterpark yet! So for those of you heading to Valleyfair this summer: give a us ring or drop us a text or email and we will stop by for a few hours. Summer is here...let the fun begin!
