My "Finally Got Away" Weekend in Pictures

The weather wasn't so great. We only went away for three days. I still think we had a great time. We took my grand kids to Knoebel's Amusement Park for the first time. We're not big roller coaster people. Gracie and Christopher are still little kids. So Knoebel's was perfect. In many ways it reminds me of Palisades Park. Since we were already more than half way to Harrisburg my cousin Elaine drove to meet us with her grand kids at our hotel in Bloomsburg. So it was a family reunion vacation too. The kids mom my cousin Ange has been recovering from a serious health emergency. The day swimming in the hotel pool was a nice break for them too. On Saturday before we left. I took Gracie to our church carnival and made fresh chicken cutlets. My favorite ride at Knoebel's is the "flyer." I haven't seen a ride like it anywhere else. Flying scooters were very popular amusement park rides in the 1930's and 40's. Now there are only a few of them left. The ride looks pretty tame but it's actually quite exciting. The person in the flying scooter controls the rudder and can control the flying angle. Kim and Gracie loved it too. I hope you enjoy all of my weekend pictures below. Including my adorable grand kids and funny cousins.
