Rainy day at Knoebels...

We ventured out to Knoebels on Thursday for some amusement park fun. This is a quaint park about two hours or so north of us in Elysburg, PA. It's nestled in the hills. The cost is really a family value. There is no charge for admission or parking. You can buy individual ride tickets or an all-day arm band. We brought my in-laws with us. The food is good and reasonable as well. You really can't go wrong there for a day of fun. They also have a big pool area, picnic pavillions, and camping. We think we may return again later this season, enjoy the pool for the day, then do some rides in the evening with a twilight ride pass. The kids really have a blast on all the exciting rides that are just their size... but Keith and I had some fun too! My in-laws tended to the kids while we got to enjoy some big-kid rides! LOL! The challenging part of the day though was the three episodes of pouring rain. It poured buckets! We had a great time anyway.

Here are Samantha and David on the Kiddie Whip:


All four of us enjoyed the log flume. I thought I'd zoom in though on the faces of David and Sammie. Samantha looks terrified:


And here we are on the teacup ride. Luckily this one doesn't spin as much as Ernie's World Twirl at Sesame Place:

love these pictures! every time i see D & S here i'm reminded at how fast they are going. you can tell S really loves her big brother in the Kiddie Whip picture...she sits so close and leans her head toward him. they are just so adorable!

the log flume ride picture is especially fun. you and K look like you're having so much fun...and S does look a tiny bit terrified! speaking of which...you know Splash Mountain won't let you sit like that (2 in a seat) anymore? they have it so that every person gets one spot.

so glad that you had such a great time...
