Family Vacation Week ~ Thursday ~ Sylvan Beach

After our wonderful double days at the lake we came home, slept in and got ready for another adventure. Roland had driven through Sylvan Beach for work and mentioned that it looked like a fun little hidden gem only a little over an hour away so we thought we would check it out. We are SO happy that we did because we had an utter blast at this old school amusement park from the 50s. We got there a bit early so we ate our picnic lunch right on the lake and enjoyed the beautiful weather before we hit the rides, games and junk food.
Roland packed the best picnic and we sat right on Oneida Lake.

Seth was so cute, he told us that he'd like to take our picture because the lake would be a great background. Where does he come up with these things?

At noon we headed right across the parking lot to the park and started our adventure.

This was the coolest old rickety ride. We chatted with the older gentlemen working the ride and asked him about the history and such. We asked if it was appropriate for the kids and in the end he let us all go for free...a $12 savings! It was so funny and not scary at all.

We splurged and got the sheet of 50!

Seth got to go on the rollercoaster twice, once with each of us. It was a blast, BUT...


This is what Leah looks like when she can't go on a ride. Hysterical!

They had at least five old old arcades with the most random games and such. This was a foot massager that cost ten cents and made your feet burn. They even had that Zoltar game from the movie Big. Ahhh the memories!

Cotton candy break!

This little lady couldn't get enough of this fluffy pink wonderfulness.

Seth was getting a bit angry at his sister because he didn't want to share, but had to.

Cotton candy joy!

Second try at the rollercoaster!

Last ride of the day.

Fantastic family day...to many many more!
