Have the Time of Your Life...at Seabreeze!

Ok, anyone who grew up around here remembers the old tagline for our local amusement park. And have the time of our lives, we did! Dave was able to get passes from work for the park so we took the girls during his week off. They had a blast!

Erin loved all the kiddie rides. The looks on her face were priceless. She was thrilled. Erin spotted the kiddie roller coaster and wanted to ride. Dave and I were a little hesitant but she is a bit of a daredevil so we gave it a try. I rode with Erin and Emily rode by herself. When we went down the first hill, I looked at Erin and she was smiling from ear to ear! We went on it two more times.

Emily had spotted the Jack Rabbit (the historic wooden roller coaster) and said she wanted to ride it. We went on the kiddie version first and she didn't like it so Dave and I thought the Jack Rabbit was out. Well, she still wanted to try the Jack Rabbit...and loved it! She rode with Dave the first time and me two more times after that. When we were wrapping up our day, we told Emily she could pick two more rides and the Jack Rabbit was one of them. Emily and Daddy finished up the day on the log flume...Emily ducked and Daddy got soaked. Erin and I went to the kiddie rides to end the day where she practiced her driving skills (her favorite ride)...look out Grandma! We spent some time in the water park, too. Emily and Dave rode the big tube slides while Erin and I went to the wave pool and rode the lazy river ride (we got drenched on that one).

What a fun day! The girls slept well that night!!

Bowling Babes

Last Sunday (8/10), the weather was a little unpredictable (nothing new around here this summer!) which made any outdoor activities difficult to plan so we took the girls bowling. Emily has been a few times and loves it. This was Erin's first experience. She had fun pushing the ball down the alley. Erin won by two pins...of course she had some help from Daddy! Don't you just love Erin's little bowling shoes? Thanks to Jul (and Shabby Miss Jenn) for the blog frame idea!

Soccer Summer

Emily played soccer this summer with the Spencerport Youth Soccer League. She had participated in a couple clinic-type programs and attended Brighton Soccer Camp but this was her first foray into "competitive" play. The girls practice drills for a half hour then play a 5-on-5 game with no goalies. They played two games each week for 6 weeks. The first game was on her birthday. She was so excited about the game that it didn't even phase her that she wouldn't be having a party that night. Emily scored three goals this "season." She worked hard and had a great time!
