We haven’t gotten back to our regular routine yet. And nope I haven’t gone through the pictures. And plus, Alan is still on vacation.

But here’s the post I meant to put up before our trip. It is sort of relevant to the Disneyland post to come because it’s about rollercoasters.

Have you heard of K’nex? They are construction toys, awesome construction toys. Last month at my nephew’s birthday party he received a rollercoaster set. My brother-in-law was helping him build it and I sat down and started helping too. I DID NOT want to stop. Alan had to pry me away.

So, Alan bought me my own rollercoaster set. I think it took me a couple of hours to put together. All the while with Isabelle excitedly asking for it. When I was done my fingers were sore from snapping all the pieces together. I didn’t even realize it until I was finished because I was so absorbed in making it. That’s how much fun I had.

Even though Isabelle is too young for the building part, it was a total yawn for her, she thought the finished toy was very cool. She played and played with it. In fact the next day it was the first thing she asked for when she woke up. She even tried to let her dolls play with it too.

We had so much fun with that rollercoaster. See a video here.

So that’s how, when we arrived at Disneyland, Isabelle knew what rollercoasters were before she had ever ridden one.
