The Floom

Today, for the third year in a row, we were invited to the Raytheon Summer Outting. I was pretty excited about going this year, because Robby and Ben were both old enough to go on a lot of rides. So, off to the rides! I wish I had recorded the sound to go along with this picture. Just imagine ten boats, each with two bells, all of the kids ringing them. I still hear the ringing. This is Benjamin's first ever candied apple. Yummy! We all had a fun time running around Canobie's new water park. Robby found this fearsome shark there. After the rollercoaster and the floom (which we actually bought the $10 picture of because it was so good - I need a scanner so bad) we decided to slow things down with a lazy sky ride. Mary went with Ben and I got to go with my buddy Robby. It started to rain, but that didn't stop us from sneaking one more ride on the bumper cars. These were the kiddie bumper cars, so Robby and Ben got to go on without us. They had so much fun. But what is an amusement park without cotton candy? Ben was so cute, that the cotton candy lady gave him an especially overstuffed bag. I think he likes Canobie.
