I am feeling younger by ten years!

It has been more than a month since I connected to the Internet.  And surprisingly, except for blogging I did not miss it. So, I went back to the traditional way of note and pen and wrote this post a month ago. 

This is what Walt Disney would have wanted people to experience when he dreamt of Disney Land.” This was my thought when I came out of Wonderla last month. Yes, we went to Wonderla and had an awesome time. The day before the trip, I was as nervous as I can possibly be. Though the day was hectic, with a visit to the Bannerghatta National Park in the morning, I was very nervous. The reason being I was not sure how my son will react at Wonderla. This was the first time I was taking him to an amusement park. Will he get scared? Will he cry? Will he stick to me and refuse to enjoy? Will he be cranky? Will he miss home food and sleep timings? You get the drift. I had many questions and I had to wait for the answers.

The next day, my son woke up at 4: 30 a.m. Though I was upset, I thought he would sleep while travelling and would be fresh when we reach Wonderla. Exactly the same thing happened and to say my son enjoyed is like saying the sun is a star. He had a whale of a time in water, trying to imitate people who were swimming. Without any apprehension, he went for all the rides and enjoyed it. I think once he understood that all he has to do is just hold tight, he just followed it and happily sat on all rides. This also meant, I could enjoy myself in the water and in general RELAX.

It was a wonderful day and a day in which my age reduced by ten and my resolution to take him more often to such places increased ten times.

If you think all was well, let me just add that my son should have beaten me approximately 100 times in the day, simply because he refused to come down from any ride and I had to force him to get down. Hmpf.
