Today we had our last outing in China. We went to a full-sized amusement park called Chimelong Paradise. We wanted to see how Cheyenne handled being at a place like that before we purchase season passes to Kings Island. She did great! All five of us had a fantastic time. Also, she got over her fear of roller coasters!
We decided to "rip the band-aid off" right away and went to the only real roller coaster she was tall enough to ride first. She was a little nervous and wanted to ride with Daddy (probably because I'm pretty certain she's convinced I slammed her head into the car railing the time she got hurt). Either way she enjoyed it. Kevin and I then took turns riding smaller rides with her while the other one went off and rode a big-kid roller coaster with Nathan and Casey.
By the end of the day, we rode almost everything in the park that wasn't for very little kids. Cheyenne loved one particular ride so much that she and the boys rode it three times. Each time she laughed and giggled like it was the first time. It was so cute and sweet seeing her with the boys and seeing how great they both are with her. :)
The park closed at 6:00 and we were to meet our driver back at the front of the park where we started. Since we had to go there anyway, we decided that I would take Cheyenne back on the roller coaster we rode first while Kevin took our boys to the big kid coaster. This time, she wasn't nervous at all and had no problem getting on the coaster with me. She laughed and giggled and thoroughly enjoyed herself...so much so that we rode it again. There was nobody in line so we didn't even have to get off the ride. That time was even better and I'm pretty certain she now knows that I'm not evil! :)
Overall the day was great. Tomorrow is our last full day and night before leaving China. I will spend the majority of the day packing our bags and ensuring we are ready to go bright and early Sunday morning. Our flight leaves Guangzhou at 10:00 am, so our guide wants to pick us up at 7:00am.
China has been overall better than I expected, but we are so ready to go home. Please pray for smooth and safe travels and that Cheyenne handles the long flights well.
