8/21/08 The Coney Island Experience

This entry is also co-authored by Goddaughter.

We came to Coney Island in two cars. The first contained Mom, Hank, Theresa, Godbuddy, Godnephew, Godchum, Godfriend, and Little Brother. Goddaughter and Dad came in the other car with Goddaughter's boyfriend. (Dad had a meeting at work in the morning and we wouldn't all fit in one car anyway.)

Since Little Brother couldn't ride The Cyclone, Mom took him on a few rides of his own:

Dad and the five oldest kids (plus boyfriend) rode The Wonder Wheel. Do you see them in their car? The interesting thing about this is that the white cars on the outside are just for decoration now and aren't used. The colored cars on the inside of the wheel move back and forth while the ferris wheel goes around.

Here's a close up. ;-)

Dad helped make sure that we had the full experience. Right before leaving, he bought cotton candy and fried dough. Yum! AND we got back to the cars before the meters ran out. All in all, it was a great day at Coney Island.

Hank had to leave after our time in Coney Island. We only got to see him for about 24 hours, but that was better than not at all. Here are Theresa and Hank in the parking lot before one car left for home and the other car left for Queens to take Hank to his next destination.

You can ride in the white cars, but those are for the people who want a stationary ferris wheel car...we got in a colored one because we wanted to go around in little circles...just putting my little comments in...;-)
