Several weeks ago, Jody contacted all of us via email saying he wanted to do a birthday celebration for Jennifer's birthday while they were in town. Kiki was at our house on this very same night the email was sent out and Brent and I had talked to her about going to Sandy Lake Amusement Park the next time we all get together. After reading Jody's email, we knew that going to Sandy Lake Amusement Park would be SO much fun for everybody...adults and kids!!! We couldn't wait to go! 
The admission is fairly resonable to get in ($2) but it's the tickets you must purchase in order to ride the rides that'll get you! I have no idea how many tickets we burned thru that day but it was all worth it to see so many smiles. The kids had an absolute blast and the adults did too! However, it was VERY cold until about lunch time! Luckily, Kinsey had on a fairly warm outfit and Beck had on sweat pants but I sure wish I had brought a jacket for him and myself! Brent had a couple of t-shirts that he let me and Jennifer wear to help keep us warm.
We started with a train ride that takes you to a "Twisted" tree then we saw the alligator swamp, paddle boats and a peacock. The kids really enjoyed riding the train...so much that they rode it twice! 
After riding a few rides, we ate lunch which included sandwiches and chips then we busted out the beautiful birthday cake from Society Bakery for Jennifer's birthday. She was so surprised! 
Surprisingly, Noah wanted to ride the Tilt O Whirl so Jennifer rode it with him then she rode it again with Jeff! There's no way I could have done that due to a weak stomach. 
Beck's all-time favorite ride at this place is the rocketship...I bet he rode it over five times!
There are little cars for the kids to ride...
and little boats...
and, last but not least...pony rides! 
Brent, Brian and Jody couldn't pass up riding the Rock O Planes. Brent immediately had his carriage turned upside down before the ride started! These boys had a blast on this ride spinning the carriages round and round! Brian ended up with a little scratch on his head from hanging upside down.
Jill had to work today and we missed her...
Jeff and Marcus left before we all did and there really wasn't a whole lot for Marcus and Kinsey to do at this place...we'll have to go back when they are a little older.
More fun and exciting things/stories on our family outing in the next post...
