We made another lap around the rides, stopping at each kiddie ride, asking Peyton if he wanted to ride it. He adamantly said, "NO!" to each one. I don't know why he's such a 'fraidy-cat all of the sudden -- he used to be fearless! Eventually he saw this giant slide and agreed to go on it. Kyle went with him, and I was scared to death because they wouldn't let Peyton ride on Kyle's lap. They said he needed to go down himself.
However, everything worked out and Peyton loved it! He looked terrified while he was sliding down, but as soon as he came to a stop at the bottom, he looked at Kyle and asked, "More?" So, they went again right away and he loved it again!
After two rides down the slide, I decided that I'd take Peyton on the merry-go-round. We got on, and I asked him which horse he wanted to ride on. He said no to each one I pointed out. So, I just tried to put him on one. Well, that led to him curling up into a ball and crying! So, we just sat on the bench. He wasn't too thrilled about that either though.
After the merry-go-round fiasco, we took another lap around the kiddie rides to see if Peyton changed his mind about riding one. He definitely did not. So, we took another ride down the slide. I went with him this time.
Finally, we all went on a ride called Barrel of Monkeys together. It was one where you could control the spin of your car. We just made sure it didn't spin much at all. But you guessed it -- Peyton was not a fan.
The last thing we did was play this pick-a-duck game. Peyton picked three ducks, and we added up the numbers written on the bottoms of them. That number dictated the prize he got. 
Peyton chose this orange dinosaur. Even though he doesn't look too thrilled here, he really did love it. He gave it lots of kisses and hugs.

I need to see him throw one of these so called tantrums you speak of! Everytime I've seen him, he's been an angel :) So cute! And I would have been terrified to let him go down that big slide by himself too!
