For a day and a half of our vacation, Steve had got tickets to an amusement park called "Mirabilandia." It came as a package with the hotel, and was a pretty cool park. I complained a little bit, because it was not as exciting to me to go to a park like Disneyland when we are in a country with so much to see. But now that I look back on it, it had two benefits. 1. It made it so that the kids loved the vacation as much as we did because we did something that they loved instead of just showing them nice buildings everyday. and 2. we saw more of the Italian culture while at the amusment park than we saw anywhere else. The other places that we visited had Americans all over the place, but we were the only ones at the park, and we definetly felt it.
Preparing for the BIG water ride.
The reason they needed the ponchos.
This was a cool water mister that the boys ran through like 60 times. They had a great time, but once again wanted their shirts changed when they were done. (What do I look like? A closet.)
What Steve was doing while the boys ran through the water mister. He tried very hard to get me to go on this, but I am not interested. It is one of those rides that shoots you way up in the air really fast, and then slams you back down.
The boys in this HUGE ferris wheel that we went on. It gave us a great view of the city.
We went and saw a 3D show in Italian. It was a very romantic and dramatic love story. Definitely showing the Italian culture. Nothing like THRILLER. :)
We finally found a couple of rides for Jacob to enjoy. Most of the rides required you to be 3 years old.

Wow. Wow. Wow. Does Steve's company need any good CPA's. I think I'm ready to transfer. The things your doing and seeing are amazing. I would love to go live over there(for 2 years) and experience it all. Good for you for getting out and doing so much. you'll have no regrets when you return.
