With Kiddie Land closing this summer, I thought it would be nice to bring the kids there for a first and last visit.  We used to go to Kiddie Land when my older girls were little and I remember going with my parents as a child.  We had a fun time, although we were supposed to meet one of Ross’ friends and his family.  They got there about a half an hour after us and literally could not park.  It was that crowded.  Even with the crowds though, we didn’t have to wait too long to get on the rides.  The kids had a blast and went on many a spinning ride.  I snapped this picture of the kids on one of the spinning rides, Ross looks like he is going to throw up.  When I asked him if he felt sick, he said “no - I just like to hold my breath when spinning”.  Uh, okay.

It’s kind of sad that they are closing up the amusement park.  At least we got to experience it as a family and will have the memories and the photos.  They are still open on weekends through the end of this month I believe.  We may try for one last visit since the weather is so summery now.

A fun summer Saturday.

A loyal tee ball fan!

The “object” of her affections!

A spin around the track - not as much fun as the bouncy things but still a good time!

 I think Rossi enjoyed our trip to the conseratory as much as I did.  With all the gardening work we did this summer, he has learned  the names of many perennial and vegetable plants.  Whenever we are out and about he points out Hostas, Coneflowers, Hydrangeas (his favorite) and more.

A Water park visit for a cousins birthday party was a smashing success.  Francesca could stay in water all day long. It was as hard to tear her away from the water park as it is to get her out of the bath.

Have a good weekend everyone, enjoy!
