The bakery holds it's annual company picnic at Lake Winnepesauka every year. (The local small amusement park) We didn't get to go last year cuz we were in Colorado on vacation, but we made it this year and had a ball!We were blessed with overcast weather to keep it in the mid 70's with no rain and no sun to burn us up. A "PERFECT" day to spend and an amusement park!
The only people in the park are employees and family. It's closed down to the public until after 6pm. It is AMAZING to look and see all those people and realize that it's just 'cookies' that support all those families. WOW!
Here Joelle and I are at the top of the Ferris Wheel waiting for them to finish unload/reload process so we could ride for a bit. You can't see it very good, but it is a very nice view of the area from up there.
Here's a shot of Natalie enjoying the carosel ride. Originally built in 1916, it still runs today and I love the music it plays while you ride!
Look in the back of the 1st car and front of the 2nd car and you'll see Doreen and the kids riding this mini-coaster. (I stayed off this one, it hurt my back last time we were there and required a Chiropractor visit not long after that ride! :) They all had fun though!!
They have a Lake there, and one of the rides you can do is paddle boats. So Doreen and I each got a girl and a boat each and did all the work paddling out on the lake and back. :)
Natalie and I rode the Tilt a Whirl. Joelle wanted to go down the nearby slide and did so while we got whipped around in that seat. Natalie would giggle every time we got whipped in to a fast circle! Fun times. 
The last ride of the day, we did as a family - the log ride. What fun!

You always did like the amusment parks,especially Kings Island. But you rode the coasters there. Funny how getting older slows you down some. RIGHT? Glad you all had a good time, we sure enjoy the pictures.
