Can you tell by the gear?
My [ratty, old] visor.
My geeky [but epi-pen-carrying] fanny pack.[Don’t bother to tease me; I don’t like to be separated from the epi-pen!]
And… TA DA!!! 
Our 2009 Season Passes, complete with one for Daddy and one for Angel this year!
OUR FIRST TRIP TO SEABREEZE FOR 2009!
The gentlemen headed to the Jack Rabbit. The lady-girls went to the Bear Trax.
It was a big day for Champ and Angel who both hit milestones for what they could ride on.
Champ got to try a LOT of new rides as he was the proud bearer of a “48 inches or taller,” band.
Angel got to ride a few new things and she got an arm bracelet for the first time.
She was free last year. That was actually more fun for me! 😉
I lost count how many times the girls rode this today.
I am trying the, “If I stare straight ahead, maybe I won’t vomit,” trick.
Nausea factor = 10 out of 10!
I so do not like this ride.
The things we do for our children.
Still, I am grateful that the hardest thing I had to do today was ride a Tilt-o-Whirl.
Flying high with Daddy.
Notice who isn’t wet?
MAMA!
Enlarge this next one and look at Angel’s face!
She did go on it again, but she didn’t really look like she wanted to.
After her second trip, a few hours later, she cried.
Skeezix ended up on this one four or five times today.
I love that Beau is still happy to ride these rides with his siblings.
No one has ever told him he shouldn’t enjoy it.
I pray it stays that way this summer.
Escorting his sister around the track.
A turtle-full.
Angel’s first trip on the Spring.
It is a favorite of her siblings.
And the verdict is…
Ten thumbs up!
Champ survived his first trip on the Whirlwind.
Mama loves this ride!
He’s so brave.
He’s a Whirlwind Vet, don’t you know? 😉
Hmmmm – what is that pose, Skeezix???
Beau’s first solo trip on the bumper cars.
Whoa. It was harsh.
After spending a bunch of time going in circles, backward, in the corner, Champ got it all figured out.
One visit down, 14 to go!
As an aside, today marked JB’s and my 12 wedding anniversary. Twelve years ago right now we were dancing and visiting with our family and friends, and we were still, very much grieving my father’s April 21st death. If you had told me I’d be celebrating my 12 anniversary with four precious children at Seabreeze I don’t think I could have possibly processed it. Today, it felt perfect.
Oh how I love my husband and my life.
I don’t think He spends much time reading blogs; He’s reading our hearts and refining some of us like crazy! But just the same, Thank you, Sweet Jesus, for the walk I am on. Thank you for this husband, thank you for these children and thank you for this crazy-blessed life of mine!

When I was a little girl and the carnival came to Webster, my favorite ride was the Tilt-o-Whirl. Seven children later it no longer a favorite of mine. You guessed it, the nausea factor.Congratulations on the anniversary! You had a great day for Seabreeze.

Thanks, all!Thanks, Flssgrl for the mention of my dad. I am honored you remember him.Mimi and Flssgrl – let me know if you ever want to meet me at Seabreeze. It isn’t for everyone, but we’ve found we enjoy it. Oddly enough, I do fine with crowds, heat, wet/dry/wet/dry kids. And I am the queen of sunscreen. My kids love to have others to climb on the rides with and love to make new friends!Martha – once upon a time, I could do ANY ride — I’m aging! 😉

Stacy,Happy Anniversary. It looks like you had a great day. We spent the weekend in MD for Livvie’s First Communion. We just back today, after a trip to the ER for dehydration-Adam. He’s fine now. The pictures from your first adventure to Seabreeze are wonderful. I think I only went there once when I lived in Rochester. Now looking at your photos, I feel like I really missed out on something. Remembering your wedding always, always brings memories of your dad flooding. Your wedding was so special on so many levels and your dad’s presence was all around us. I remember it well. Happy Anniversary and Be well~Jen
