Family Fun!!


Last Thursday, Grandma blessed our family with an incredible treat- tickets to Worlds of Fun amusement park! What a day that was!! Full of unforgetable experiences- flipping upside down on the twisty ride "Patriot", jerking and sliding on the Spinning dragons, the nerve-wracking climb up to the crest of the giant Mamba before you plunge down a 250 foot drop at 75 mph!!
Some of the pictures aren't the best quality, but speeding roller coasters are tricky to capture!!

On-board the thrilling ride "The Patriot"!!
The last row of seats- Noah, Tabitha, Esther and Seth.


Phoebe and Silas enjoying their cotton candy- yummy!!


Climbing up the creaky wooden roller coaster....



Micah gives Dad a grin just before he hits the race-track!!


Seth and Tabitha are in the second car, Esther and Noah in the first.


Flying upside-down on "The Boomerang"!!!
Seth, Esther, Noah and Tabitha are in the second car.



Grandma pushed Silas and Phoebe all over the park!


One of the attractions we didn't participate in (primarily because there was a additional cost for it) was "The Ripcord"- a 20o foot free fall. It was quite fascinating for us to watch the people who flew screaming through the air!!


Seth and Micah during their ride on 'the Spinning Dragons'!


-The Timberwolf-
Seth is 4 cars from the front.

-The Scrambler-
Dad and Charity are in the back-ground and Moses and Micah are in the front.

(My apologies for how blurry that picture is!!)


Our smiling (sweating!!) crew!
We all thoroughly enjoyed our day!!
Thank-you Grandma!!

Oooh, yeah, I get to do the first comment!!! Wow, that looks like it was an absolute BLAST!!! The end of this month Dad and I (and possibly some friends) are going to Six Flags Great America and I'm really looking forward to that - I've never even been on rides at a fair, so this'll be pretty extreme!!!

I put up a bunch of pictures of Jacob and the family!

Love you lots and lots and miss you TONS!!!!!!!!!!!
