August Trip to Knoebels Amusement Park

Our annual before school trip to Knoebels Amusement Park came upon us quickly this year.  Due to the leap year, we were unable to keep our spot in the shade trees by the lake but were able to get a full hookup site (which the other wasn't) and up near the front.  It is a very spacious site that have the kids plenty of room to play and run.

The only draw back to this site was that the daily travel of the people in the campground was going right past us, in and out,.... in and out,...

Since we were coming up, we arranged to bring one of Bella's friends Courtney, with us as a surprise.  After we were setup we could go over to the park for an evening when it was less crowded on a Thursday evening rather than the Family Bargan night on Friday.  This gave us and the kids the chance to ride some of the things we typically don't get to as the lines are usually long, like Flying Turns and Impulse, we were in the coaster in less than 15 minutes!

The girls on the Impulse for the first time!!  They liked it!

Another night at the park with the Ciotti family who is camping with us and we could take in the evening lights and sounds.  The Giant Wheel is always a family favorite so we can see the whole park.

Knoebels is always a great way to end the summer and get ready for school.  The kids really enjoy it and this time was made special by having a day with their friends as well.  We will be back in October for the craft fair and back in our normal spot in the comfort of the shade trees.

Sorry so short,.... but lots of fun was had!
