Fall for Greenville 10-12-08

On Sunday afternoon, October 12th we made our way downtown after the girls woke up from thier naps. When we arrived, we parked and headed over to the game area in order to let the kids ride a few rides. Emily and I waited in line while John and the little ones walked around. Even though it was the last day and it was Sunday afternoon, there was surprisingly a large crowd. After we got our tickets, I got a call from Daddy that he had arrived so we met up with him before heading to the first ride. The girls wanted to ride the carousel first, so Daddy and I took all of them on it while John took some pictures. They all had a great time and even attracted a lot of attention from the news cameraman who kept filming them. After our ride, we looked around for a few minutes and Emily decided she really wanted to ride the large ferris wheel. There was a large line, so we had to take turns holding a spot in line while some of us walked around with the little ones. The little ones were able to get balloons which was a highlight for them and enjoyed playing with them until they floated away. After a while, John was almost to the front of the line with Emily when she decided she wanted Daddy and I to go with her so we traded off and the three of us went on the ride. She really enjoyed it and after the ride was over, we headed to Bertolos, the pizza place, to eat dinner. Even though normally we would have eaten at the booths, we decided it would be easier to sit down with the kids. Everyone dug in and after scarfing down a lot of pizza, they were ready to head out to see what else was happening. We headed up to the fountain outside the Hyatt where the girls had a blast dancing to the band that was playing, stepping over the stones in the stream, and playing with some older kids who had a ball. As it got later, we headed back towards the ride area where Emily used up the last couple of tickets on the way to the car.
