Double Shot
James and Victoria on the Double Shot
Date: 08/15/2007
James and Victoria were happy to be able to ride "big kid" rides this year. They've always been just a bit too short, so there were some big smiles when they both fit the rides. This is the Double Shot, where they bounce high in the air.
Caged!
Ready to ride the Moby Dick
Date: 08/15/2007
Here James and Victoria prepare to ride another of the previously "off limits" rides.
Going UP!
On the up-swing on the Moby Dick ride
Date: 08/15/2007
Here's an action shot of James and Victoria on the up-swing of the Moby Dick ride. It swings around in a circle (side to side for the rider) as you can see in the next shot.
Coming DOWN!
On the way back down again.
Date: 08/15/2007
At the top of the swing, here come the kids back down again. Too high for me!!!
Caterpillar Roller Coaster
In the whip seat of the caterpillar roller coaster ride
Date: 08/15/2007
And here we can see James and Victoria cooperating once again and riding together on the caterpillar roller coaster. It sure is nice when they get along...
Bumper Boatin'
James and Abigail bumper boating
Date: 08/15/2007

Ready for attack
James and Abigail getting ready to attack
Date: 08/15/2007
At the far end of the bumper boat pool, James and Abigail prepare to ram Victoria and Evan.
The bump
James and Abigail ram Victoria and Evan
Date: 08/15/2007
Evan and Victoria were having some troubles with their bumper boat, so they were an easy target for James and Abigail when they got their speed up.
The Scrambler
Evan and James on the Scrambler
Date: 08/15/2007
This is the only picture that came out of my attempts at capturing the scrambler. To me, it would be "scrambling" my brains with the swirling and spinning. All the kids rode this one: Abigail, James, Evan, Michael, and Victoria.
Hang Gliding
James on the hang glider ride
Date: 08/15/2007
James loves this ride, but he looks pretty bored waiting for it to start.
More hang gliders
Victoria and Evan hang gliding
Date: 08/15/2007
Victoria went with Evan on his hang glider ride. They both enjoyed the ride...
The rest of the hang gliders
Abigail and Michael also went hang gliding
Date: 08/15/2007
Abigail and Michael weren't going to miss this one! They jumped on the hang gliders and were ready for a ride!
Flying away
Michael and Abigail in flight
Date: 08/15/2007
Here's an action shot of Michael and Abigail "in flight" as they go around and around.
More fliers
Evan and Victoria flying
Date: 08/15/2007
Evan was on the ride with Victoria, and here's an action shot of them flying around and around.
Little Roller Coaster
Victoria and Abigail on the little roller coaster
Date: 08/15/2007
Victoria and Abigail getting knocked around on the little roller coaster. I think they're both going to grow up like Dad and love roller coasters.
Roller Coaster Action
Victoria and Abigail in full action.
Date: 08/15/2007
I wonder what Victoria is saying to Abigail? Doesn't matter - Abigail seems to be too "into" the ride to listen!
Bumper Mice
Michael and Evan bumping Mice.
Date: 08/15/2007
A quick shot of Michael and Evan before the all-out action started on the bumper mice ride.
Pulling away
Evan pulls away from the action.
Date: 08/15/2007
Evan takes his mouse out of harm's way (for the moment) while James is blocked by an unknown boy.
All Bumped Out
End of the ride picture
Date: 08/15/2007
At the end of the ride, these four found themselves in close proximity. James looks like he's still planning on moving!
Thomas Ride
Seeing the park, from above!
Date: 08/15/2007
The best way to get the lay of the park is to take the Thomas the Train ride. Here the five are taking that tour, finding other things to ride.
Old Timer Show
Animated puppet show by Thomas
Date: 08/15/2007
Just off the Thomas Ride, there is a landing with an animated puppet show. The kids pose for a shot with some of the "locals."
Lined Up, Buckled In
The Bounce is always a favorite ride.
Date: 08/15/2007
It's beyond me, but the Bounce always seems to be a favorite ride for the kids. It rises to the top and bounces down, then up a little, then all the way down.
Going Up
The ride is in motion, heading up.
Date: 08/15/2007
Here they go, up and up. James looks a little rough in the picture, but guaranteed, they are all having a good time.
Bouncing High
The five on their way up on the Bounce ride.
Date: 08/15/2007
The five kids are on their way up on the Bounce ride. They go just a little farther up than this, and then drop and bounce.
Karen and Dakota
Karen and Dakota by the Bounce ride.
Date: 08/15/2007
Just a quick shot of the two girls while we waited for the kids on the other rides.
Alien Hunters
James, Evan, and Abigail hunting aliens
Date: 08/15/2007
This ride is now in the spot where the bumper cars used to be. It seems to be a "hunt the alieh" kind of ride.
Where are the aliens?
Evan and Victoria following the hunt.
Date: 08/15/2007
The kids seemed to enjoy this, also, but then again it is a ride, so why wouldn't they?!
Balloons: Michael & Abigail
Abba looks so content to let Michael do the spinning...
Date: 08/15/2007
Race Cars: Evan & Abigail
Hold On!!!
Date: 08/15/2007
These were the only two pictures of the race cars decent enough to include...
Train Ride
Everyone riding the train.
Date: 08/15/2007
This is the best picture of the train ride...
Tilt-a-Whirl: James & Abigail
James and Abigail waiting for the Tilt-a-Whirl to go.
Date: 08/15/2007
Tilt-a-Whirl: Evan, Victoria, Michael
Evan, Victoria, and Michael rode together in another car.
Date: 08/15/2007
The start of Thomas the Train
Looks like the start of the Thomas ride around the park.
Date: 08/15/2007
A mass of children
Every kid present at the Worth's house.
Date: 08/15/2007
Hard enough to see all the kids, much less get the names right, at least at this distance. =)
Karen, Frannie, Kelly
Visiting with the Worths.
Date: 08/15/2007
These three were so glad to see each other. Can you tell? That is our Karen in the red, Frannie Worth in the aqua, and Kelly Luzader in the black. They had a good time...
Dakota and Mr. Worth
And Dakota likes his phone!
Date: 08/15/2007
I know - gotta work on the names. I'll update when I remember. Sorry. They took to each other, and were together most of the evening!
Bunch-o-kids
Date: 08/15/2007
I really hate to admit it, but I'm bad with names. I know the baby is Dakota Luzader, and the closest young lady is Nicole Worth, but I can't remember the other two Worth children's names right now. I'll update when they come to me...
Surrey Ride
Just after we finished our ride together.
Date: 08/15/2007
We had one of the guys running the surrey place take a shot of us once we finished our ride, if only to prove that we were there. After this, it was on to donuts and drinks!
Michael's Barber Shop
Couldn't pass up the chance for this shot!
Date: 08/15/2007
On our way back from the surrey ride, everyone stopped in front of Michael's Barber Shop (which was unfortunately closed - or we would have gone in) for a picture with the "real" Michael!
Sandy Cheeks
Abigail, hat always on, loving her time on the beach.
Date: 08/16/2007
The title for this shot came from one of Abigail's favorite characters on SpongeBob SquarePants, the squirrel, and SpongeBob's close friend, Sandy Cheeks. Of course, that all goes with the actual sand on Abba's cheek...
Don't break the couch
A shot of the six kids that were running around the house most of the week.
Date: 08/16/2007
Just before the Luzaders left and the house got really quiet, we somehow managed to get all the kids on the couch for one picture. Evan is off to the left (you see his foot) and he refused to get into the shot. The thumbnail isn't big (wide) enough to get him in, so apologies for the cut. But he is in the big picture.
Our Michael
What a great smile, huh?
Date: 08/16/2007
Michael had a good time with us at the shore. We hope he and his family can join us again maybe next year.
