Grammie Camp.....Day Three
Yesterday, while Ginger and MaryAnn were home doing this....
(I've never seen them in the pool at the same time....
one always gets out to leave the other in.)

Grammie and Tyler took a road trip to a quaint old amusement park
not too far from us.
Knoebel's Grove is a wonderful family amusement park in the woods...
complete with old time rides and fast, new rollercoasters.
The best part about it is the fact that there is no admission fee...
just tickets for sale for the rides. There are also lots of kiddie rides...
perfect for a five year old! (and no lines!)
We spent about 3 hours there...just enough time to ride some rides...
leaving when Tyler announced he was finished.
The best part of the day was this particular ride...
it lifted the kids up about 20 feet into the air
and then dropped them down in a smooth hopping motion.
Each time they dropped a little, Tyler would laugh hysterically.
At one point he shouted out over the crowd...
"I love you, Grammie!"
This was followed by an "Awwww" from the crowd standing around watching.
My heart has melted more times that I can tell you about this week.
I'm sure that Tyler is having a great week...and so is Grammie!
