Seabreeze

Rochester has its own amusement park, Seabreeze, located on the shore of Lake Ontario. It is also a water park, but not for us, when it's in the low 70s. After Josh's nap we took our annual family trip to Seabreeze, with Sam's friend Ian, staying til sunset. It has all the classic rides. It is, after all, over 100 years old. We ate a dinner of hot dog and pizza there, with a dessert of fried dough. We played the games of "skill" and came home with enough stuffed snakes to fill a small pit. And Sam is now tall enough to ride all the rides, though happy to ride only about half of them. Josh we took on the carousel and he looked tense and suspicious the whole time as if a medical procedure were being performed on him. His happiest moments were when I ran with him on the way to the men's room to change his diaper, and when, purely for his amusement, I jumped up and down with him on my shoulders. 

Susan and Sam doing the bumper cars. The line for this was  huge for a reason. A good time was had by all.

The aforementioned carousel. Complete with mechanical organ music thingy. True out-east  fun.

There was a very impressive Canadian gymnastics troupe. Here's Sam with the two female gymnasts.

We spent a while waiting for the others to ride this roller coaster, "The Bobsleds." Josh had a whale of a time just meandering and then playing with some wood chips.

Just before the "Music Express", a ride which is hard to describe, but involves going in a circle really fast while listening to loud rock music. It was a blast, and the only ride daddy got to go on as well (unless you count the carousel).

Finally, here's a brief movie taken on the last ride of the day, a little train ride. By this time, as you'll see, Josh is about out.
