And yep I loved going there as a kid, and I super excited to be going there soon with our boys :)<br />I think that in today's world Kids like the fun rides, but at the same time they expect a little bit more than what we used as kids...or were we the same at their age but didn't realise it till we grew up and appreciated/realising how much we got to experience as a child?lisasdreamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16686232441165927141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-119733539095505639.post-30962752436757415532013-07-19T01:42:58.628-07:002013-07-19T01:42:58.628-07:00I went to the Melbourne Luna Park not long ago, li...I went to the Melbourne Luna Park not long ago, little one was too little for most of the rides though apart from the little train around the park.

I was so little I could walk under the turnstiles so they let me in for free. We were underage but my friend and I went on the rollercoaster and loved it. <br /><br />I'd never let my five-year old on a rollercoaster without me these days!
