Rylee's China Trip Part 2: Shanghai

This Neverland was pretty amazing.

Delaney was having a good time, despite the drizzle.

The Ladies and the Castle.  I did like that you could see the castle form just about everywhere in the Park.  It made it easy to orient yourself and figure out where you wanted to go.

Rylee loved the Alice in Wonderland themed garden and maze. 

And it was nestled right in front of the Castle.

Enjoying the Mad Hats.

And the Tea Party!

So many fun details.

But all the great picture spots were prime real estate and you had to dash in  through the crowd if you wanted a good photo.

They dashed in a little early on this chair and cut off some sweet Chinese ladies who were a little slower.  the ladies were very gracious and smiled and oohed over the blond hair.

The Tea Party table was less crowded when we went back so Rylee demanded a few more photos!

It was a really fun place.

We did ride the teacups, which we all like a lot.

They let me spin it as fast as we can go.  But these were very stiff and we could still walk when we got off.

No idea what the wagon is, but Rylee took the photo op.

They have the Pirate's Cove.

There was the cool play area with this nifty shipwreck.

And a fun rowboat, which gave Rylee a wet bottom.

There was this awesome ship we got to go tour.

So silly!

I love it when they pose.

Not posed.  She was totally into this wheel.

They thought this peg-leg was the coolest thing ever.

And it was pretty cool.

This is a poor photo to try to explain the best attraction in the Park.  It totally made Delaney's trip.  It is the Camp Discovery Challenge Trails.  You have to leave everything in your locker- including phones, so no photos of the amazingness.  They clip you into a harness and you have a rope from your chest attached to a pully above your head. You can see the reddish rails above their heads?  That's what you are clipped to and you have to walk yourself and your rope around the course.  The rope keeps you from dying as you traverse some of these things 15 feet above the rocks.You encounter a bunch of different obstacles and have three choices of difficulty.  Delaney chose the hardest on all of them!  Rylee cried and we did the easiest, which was pretty much a wooden bridge on everything.  But Delaney climbed log bridges and rope bridges and skirted the edge of a fake waterfall on a foot-wide ledge! I was incredibly impressed.  She told me she was scared, but she wanted to do it so she did.  I wouldn't have done some of them!!
