CHAPTER 3:

When the group arrived at Tivoli Gardens, many of the kids wanted to immediately get in line for the rides. Though some of the younger ones were advised to stay away from roller coasters. Jessica and Ashley took Danny on the Wood Carousel. Of course, they made sure to join the ride with him in order to keep a close eye on him so he didn't disappear during the ride. Some of the other kids went on The Big Clock, which is a mini ferris wheel. While many of the Bellas were waiting outside the ride for the kids, others decided to try some thrill rides themselves.

"That was so much fun," Bumper exclaimed.

"It feels like forever since I've been on a roller coaster," Chloe said.

"I'm just glad the ride didn't stop on us again like that time at Coney Island," Amy said.

"Now that was one heck of an experience," Bumper said.

"Yeah, It was nerve wracking wondering how long it would take to get us down," Amy said.

"So where should we go next?" Bumper asked.

"How about we go on the Star Flyer," Amy suggested.

"What's that?" Bumper asked.

"It's one of the world's tallest swing rides," Amy explained, reading a park brochure.

"I'll pass. I should not be doing crazy rides while I'm pregnant," Beca said.

"I'll do it," Chloe said.

"Me too. Looks kind of fun," Jesse said.

"What about you, Bumper?" Amy asked.

"Oh, you know me; I'm always in the mood for a thrill," Bumper said.

"Alrighty then, to Star Flyer!" Amy said as they all headed for the ride.

While the four had their thrill of a ride, many of the others in the group went on the Bumper Cars.

Later that day, once the kids were tired out from rides, the group thought it'd be a good idea to look at some of the other Tivoli attractions.


That night as the group made it back to the hotel lobby.

"That was so much fun!" Jesse exclaimed.

"I definitely saw a good opportunity to take a lot of pics with my phone," Beca said.

"Especially since you didn't really go on a lot of rides," Jesse added.

"Jesse, you know I can't be doing crazy rides while I'm pregnant," Beca reminded him.

"I know, babe. Though it'd be cool to see some of the pics you took," Jesse said.

"Let's get back to our room and I'll show you," Beca said.

Meanwhile…

"Okay, be honest: Aren't you glad you were able to come on this trip?" Alice asked.

"You're right. I am glad to be here. Not just to be with you and the rest of the Bellas, but I don't know what I'd do if I couldn't be with our own daughter on her birthday," Ken admitted.

"Exactly! She's going to love what we have planned for her," Alice said.

"I sure hope so," Grace said, anxiously.

Meanwhile…

"Well, day one of this trip is officially in the books," Aubrey said.

"Where are we going tomorrow, Mommy?" Finn asked, curious.

"We're going on a boat ride tomorrow," Aubrey said.

"Is it a big boat?" Finn asked.

"I doubt it. But, it'll be fun nonetheless," Chad said.

"Well, it's been a long day. Time to call it a night. See you all in the morning," Aubrey said as the group headed for each of their hotel rooms.
