Amusement


There is nothing quite like filling yourself with overpriced, really bad food and then seeing if you can make yourself sick by going on spinny rides.    You start out putting your kids on tame rides at the zoo and before you know it, you are driving to New Jersey to seek out the fastest and tallest roller coasters around.  Below are a collecton of photos at amusement parks.

Ahh Cotton Candy... back in the good old days when it came on a stick - not in a bag.  Cheating a bit - as this is really at the zoo.. but they had rides !


More Cotton Candy. What is Brett Baird doing with a sno cone ?  Can Mormons not eat Cotton Candy ??

Classic picture of Jake and Alex loving the hopper

More recent trip to Canobie with a more extreme version of the hopper ride.  Kelsey, Jake Tyska and Jake
Scrambler !   Why is Dede wearing overalls and a long sleeve shirt ? Not many advanced safety options on this ride
Recent trip to Six Flags in NJ.  Adam, Jake, Hannah and Kelsey
Nan on an empty ride

Jake riding with Mom and Kelsey.  The animal options get more diverse as the years go by...

Can't get enough of merry-go-round pictures ?  The 2008 road trip.  

Uncle Jeffy and Bretto ridding the skateboard at MOM

Kath and Jeff.  What was the name of this ride ?
He has got fighter pilot written all over him....
Don't worry Kathy, you are in good hands.
Look at me in the front row !  Everest @ Disney

Hands up !

Whenever the kids were on this ride I would always think to myself "boy I wish the kids would ring those bells more".  The people operating this ride were not paid enough
Now that Jake is driving - I need a second steering wheel on my car.

Jeff on the Skyway.  A little sad this is now my favorite ride again


Two pictures over 30 years and 1,000 miles apart.   Is that the same car ?!?!  Somebody check the VIN #
One person seems to be having slightly less fun... God bless her for going on....

  1. Really cool. I think the ride was called a scrambler. And clearly the car was stolen and taken to a new state for sale.....check CARFAX
