Weekend Fun

This past weekend we decided to take a break from reality and visit our favorite local amusement park, Canobie Lake Park. We like to go every summer as a family, and this year Val received tickets as a birthday present from Nana (thanks Wanda!). The kids all had an absolute blast!

Since it's nearly fall already, the park was celebrating Octoberfest. They had a small petting zoo with goats and sheep for the kids to feed.

They got to fill some sand-art pumpkins

And pose in lederhosen.

There was even a nice garden that we all wanted to steal veggies from ;)

After playing with the animals the kids went on as many rides as possible.

We did take a break for food

And some of us even took a nap

If the kids misbehaved, we locked them up in the stocks

Though most of the time they were proper ladies and gentlemen... sort of.

Even the baby had a good time looking at all the exciting rides with shiny, blinking lights!

We were having so much fun that we stayed until the moon was shining, and the park closed for the evening.

(none of us were brave enough to try THAT ride though!)
