Fishy Fishy

Yesterday we had a day at Lagoon for Gabe's birthday. This is the first year that Wade is old enough to ride some of the rides, so I decided to try him out on a couple. He's never done anything but the train and the merry go round. He wanted to start out with the Little Fishy Ride. This ride may look like the most gentle ride in the park, but actually it's the one to be feared. It's so old that it bumps and jerks the kids around worst that the old white roller coaster. This is Wade at the start of the ride...


But it wasn't long before the terror set in. His face stayed like this the entire time...


And that was the end of the riding adventure. The funny thing is that I have the exact same picture of myself on that very ride. Here are a few more pics from the day...

Another Year Older

A Very Happy Birthday to my Gabe. He turns the Big 8 on Saturday. I seriously can hardly believe it. The years really do fly by but I do have to say they get funner and funner as the kids get older, so I love watching them grow up. Gabe has been such a joy to our family and I have loved watching him grow into the funny, sensitive, kind-hearted kid that he is. The 8th birthday brings on the baptism which he is also very excited about so you'll be hearing more about that soon. Happy Birthday Gabe!
