There's nothing like going to an amusement park in the summer- the rides, the laughter, the games,the lights, and the food. Did I mention the food?
Boy, did we have a great time last weekend taking the girls to a park that we both visited each summer as children. We even went there on dates as teenagers. It makes it even more special. Today, I'm going to post a few photos of the girls having a blast and then later in the week, I'm hoping to give ideas on how to use rides and roller coasters as a learning experience. A little bit of kid physics anyone???
Here are the girls posing for Mom. Don't they look cute in their matching outfits and pigtails? Besides the sweetness factor, it is a great strategy for keeping a close eye on the kids.
Before the big wave!
After!!
This is a video of the girls on The Whip. You can easily pick them out by their screams. The cackling in the background- just mom enjoying the moment!
So, what is your favorite ride or childhood memory?
I've always loved the carousel. I still enjoy riding it. Something about the painted horses, the music, and lights that makes it so magical. It's like riding a big piece of beautiful art.
Well, I hope that you enjoyed our day at the park. Have a wonderful weekend!
