Amusement Park Fun!

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!

  1. Your girls look so much bigger than when I first started reading your blog! Time flies! Personally, I love The Spider, but my girls both like the Flying Elephants!

  2. Did you go on any of the rides? To me it seems good news that you are getting out. We love to take the kids to Knoebels in PA, it such a family friendly place.
