So this morning we brought Brandon to the Family Fun Fest at Downsview Park and lol man is Brandon a wuss! We got there right when the doors opened at 10AM and it was nice and empty for the first 45 minutes or so but unfortunately Brandon was too afraid to go on any of the kiddy rides or bouncy castles… Not sure why, most of the children present were around his age but he kept whining about being scared.

We walked around a bit and he seemed to like to play mini golf, though he doesn’t know how to play nor did he want to learn haha.

There were some old school arcade machines there that were free to play, he likes cars but didn’t want to drive for some reason. What did catch his eye was the old Jurassic Park video arcade shooter, of course he had to have the blue gun so I was shooting with the red. He seemed to enjoy it even though he wasn’t shooting anything, a bit later Maggie took the blue gun and started playing with me but when we got to the part where we had to fight the brachiosaurus Brandon didn’t like that (it’s his favorite dinosaur) and kept pulling the guns down so we wouldn’t hurt it haha.

Later we were able to coax him into a bouncy castle for a bit but then he got scared and climbed out. He did enjoy the strawberry ride and I did my best to spin it quickly and he loved it by laughing out loud though Maggie didn’t like it too much. Also ran with him through the “corn maze” a few times, he got so comfortable he let go of my hand and was running like a mad man himself.

After about 3 hours we left and went home, I wanted to stay but Brandon was pretty fussy, it was getting busy and he was just so afraid of everything. I know I was timid as a child but man was I ever that bad?!? Hope he grows out of it soon because I plan to take him on all the scary rides. 😉
