Lakeside Amusement Park

We had a wonderful time at Lakeside Amusement Park this Wednesday, July 18th 2007.

Marcella and Todd watching the rides.
Todd's family all met at Lakeside Amusement park for an evening of fun! Olivia, Emily and Audrey had earned free passes to the small amusement park through the local library's summer reading program. We started out with a picnic dinner and then had fun riding the kiddie rides first.

Olivia and Dylan
Look at them go! This was one of their favorite rides.
Marcella did not want to go on the rides, although, she loved the carousel. But she loved watching the kids and looking at all the lights, once it was dark.

The Frog Hopper was probably the 2nd favorite of the kiddie rides. It would take the kids up and then bounce them down.
Olivia was so funny the first time she rode it. Her eyes were as big as saucers and her mouth made a big O! Thanks to positive peer pressure, she rode it a second time and then loved it!
Payton and Audrey were riding buddies the night.
Olivia and Emily cheesing it on the lady bugs.
Once the girls were comfortable on the kiddie rides, we moved onto some of the bigger ones. Todd and I were shocked that Emily and Audrey wanted to ride one of the bigger roller coasters. And we were blown away that it became their favorite! Laura was nice enough to watch Marcella a lot of the night. Marcella even walked Laura back to the carousel and then pointed to it and said "Ease!!". That's how she says please and of course it worked its magic and Laura took her on another ride.
