Gröna Lund, Tivoli Stockholm

This is called the ladybug roller coaster for small children. Parents are allowed to accompanying their children on this ride. Probably I choose this one particular photo which was taken by my friend ...... to be in as to prove I am not a carousel type of person. I don't fancy the speed, the height and obviously I believe that I cannot control myself in such situation. My heart beats so fast each time it moves up and down. Of course I was the only adult shouted loudly more than any children on this ride.



Gabriel love the different types of carousel ride. One of them is the free fall. Most children are screaming when it drop down fast and yet they smile and wanted more when it is over.





The Ghost House.

It may not look as scary from the outside but it is scary from the inside. I remember probably 9 years ago we went inside, Vel was screaming and crying and hugging Peter so tight. I was running here and there trying to escape and find my way out fast.



Here comes the, "Gabriel the Mini Ghost". No he did not try this as I do not want him to have nightmare and unable to sleep at night but in a few years when he is a little bit older, yes I would allowed him to go inside.


Thinking to myself, If I do scream on a children mini roller coaster,I guess I will scream and cry on this ride, probably fainted. It looks fun though but the speed and seeing the seat being thrown left to right plus moving up and down, I am so sure that I am better being on the ground watching.




Throwing the ball into the bin is not that easy especially you have to collect few hundred balls in a short time.


The flower on their neck was what they got from the game. It is just a small symbolic for children who played and did not scored anything.




Few days later we went again to Gröna Lund. Basically the children enjoyed it most to being there. This time we were 8 adult and 5 children.



Even a horse like this who doesn't move and cannot do much attract the children so much to climb up and down.


Vel and me trying to win some big kilo of goodies. Here I am digging for 25 SEK a spin of game.



The spinning of tea cup. I wonder why those people don't get giddy. Just by watching how fast it move and turn I dont get myself picture inside those giant cup.


Cute little Sandra trying to hug Gabriel. Gabriel is always shy and trying to get away from being hug by any girls and his dad always teases him that when he turn 16 he would be the one running and after those girls for a hug by then.


From top left: Vel, Gabriel, Sandra, Theresa, Anita and little small corner left on the pram is a cute little Mikael.


They found another type of free fall for children but this one goes up and down repeatedly. Gabriel said this is more scary than the first free fall but he went on twice.



Look at their faces. I love it and I am so lucky to get this very good shot of the kids. To take a closer look click on the photo.

From Right: Sandra and next to her is Anita.

Therese cried as she has to be 1 meter to take this ride and she did not manage to get on this ride. Brave kids we have here unlike me who was called the Chicken.
