Dad's Knoebel's Birthday

This year for dad's birthday we decided to hit Knoebel's. This is an old school amusement Park that had a feel similar to Lagoon back in Utah. This was a bit cheaper than Dorney Park the amusement park that is closer to us. This was a little more family friendly. The kids hit the tea cups first. Probably wasn't the wisest decision for Kelsey because I thought that she was going to lose her breakfast by the look in her face but she pulled through. I kept telling the kids that this was just like Disney Land. I don't think they bought it.

Couldn't pass up on the carousel. We had to

ride it twice because I put the kids all on the horses that

didn't move up and down. It's not quite as fun when you are not moving.

I think she was still recovering from the tea cups.

Bryce loved the rides. I think he wished

he could have rode more.

The second round with the moving horses.

The traditional train ride.

All aboard. Jackson sporting his toothless grin.

One thing we discovered from this adventure is that Jackson is a roller coaster junkie. He had already ridden this log ride earlier with John-David and the girls and loved it. John-David had taken the girls on another ride and Jackson was too impatient to wait for them to get back. The line was short so he asked me if he could ride it himself. I said yes and could watch him in line the whole time while holding Bryce. There my 6 year old went on it by himself,  but loved every minute of it. John-David took Jackson and Jocelyn on the two adult roller coasters. I am pretty sure they were the only 5 and 6 year old in line. I thought Jocey would chicken out but she did it. I think we have just begun to feed Jackson's fire for the need for speed.

While Dad took the two older ones on a roller coaster, I

took these two on the old fashion cars. Kelsey pushed the gas and steered.

Our coaster twins joined us for our photo shoot.

I took a turn on the log ride with the three older ones.

We ended the day with John-David taking the three older ones on

the ferris wheel. I think their faces say it all.

Dad with his toothless wonder.

The next day on his actual birthday we

had an ice cream cake that I made.

Say "cheese"

Dad's Birthday Present

This year for our birthdays we got bikes. It's been pretty fun

and I can't wait for cooler weather to do it more.
