Labor Day FUN!!!!!

I enjoyed a small kiddie park today with Mark, Andrea,
Nathan, Ben and Jordyn... Here Ben tries his hand at
a hand propelled cart on a train track. Ben did VERY
WELL and enjoyed it enough to go back a second time.

Jordyn was good the whole time we were at the park as
Mark took it upon himself to be her escort!!

The boys wanted to go on the roller coaster... Here

it looks like Ben is having second thoughts. Andrea

said the back car that they were in was really rough!

Not rough enough for Nathan, who went back to ride

several times. Here's Nathan's THUMBS UP!!

The whole Riley family took a train ride together - I

think I took an even better picture than this with

Andrea's camera - I used (3) cameras today...

I rode the train one time with Nathan while Andrea

rode with Ben. Ben was enjoying himself today :)

Jordyn enjoyed herself too. Next year, Jordyn, you'll

get to participate a little more!!

Here Ben enjoyed driving the horsecart...

I was eyeing the boats on the water - but the boys

never rode them. I always enjoyed the boats at

Kiddieland in Loves Park, Il when I was little...

(Yes, everyone, I was once little). Dad always

said, "Sharon, would you like to have a boat

some day?" I'd always answer "yes" and Dad

built his first boat in our garage. Those will

always be good memories for me.
