Around the middle of the week, we needed to take a little break from “all things Anne” and decided to try a real tourist trap – I mean attraction – that the girls had been begging us to visit.
So, we headed to the Sandspit.
The Sandspit boasts on its website as being the largest amusement park on Prince Edward Island. What it reminded me of is one of those old-fashioned small amusement parks. You know, like one of those small amusement parks situated on a boardwalk with the little kiddie rides that go around and around in a circle.
It was a small enough amusement park, that My Chandler and I had no problems letting Peanut and Sweet Pea go off on their own to ride some of the bigger “kiddie” rides. I had no problems, because I could situate myself in just the right spot in the park where I could see from one end to another!
But, even though it was small and the rides weren’t overly thrill-seeking rides, they were familiar fun rides and it was a great way to spend an afternoon with a family.
The Tilt-a-Whirl, the burlap bag slides, the bumper cars and the thriller coaster were all hits with the bigger girls. Especially the coaster!
Pumpkin more enjoyed the calmer rides like the ball pit, the horse and buggy ride that goes around in a circle and the miniature train ride.
My Chandler even gamely went on the bumper cars with all three girls at one point.
The inner child came out on that ride!
This definitely was no Disney World. Heck, it wasn’t even a Six Flags or Busch Gardens. But, it kept the Road Trip Family entertained for a couple of hours.
We skipped this attraction for obvious reasons but it looks like a great decision for all four kids....I mean family. Hugs
