I remember the first time we went, it was the whole family, all four of us: me, my husband, and the boys. They were still tiny, not yet quite three, and we rode all the rides with them, grown ups with our bent knees approaching our ears. They loved being on the really little kiddie rides, which were just right sized droplets of thrill for them. By the next summer, at four, our services were only required for some, not all rides (just the "really scary" ones), and my husband and I stood by in trepidation as Ethan took charge of his twin brother Jacob, making sure he stayed safety belted and didn’t try to climb out mid-ride. For you see, Jacob is on the Autism Spectrum, and at four was still very un-awake to the rules of the world, needed a minder at all times.
