Hi everyone! It’s Dana here – and I thought I’d chat a little bit about one of my family’s favorite things to do – go to amusement parks! I’ve always loved going to amusement parks, state fairs, carnivals – you name it! I love everything about them – the rides (the crazier, the better!), the crazy food (especially at the state fair – they fry ANYTHING! LOL!), the fun atmosphere .. i love it ALL!

My kids are now at the age where it is super-fun to take them to amusement parks too – and we are so lucky that we live close to at least three (maybe more ?!?!) that are either geared towards their ages or have a lot of rides for them. We’ve visited all three of them (two of them many, many times) and have had such a blast! I love seeing the girls get so excited to go on the rides – it’s so cute and makes me enjoy the parks all over again! Our local favorites are Storyland and Canobie Lake Park in New Hampshire and Edaville in Massachusetts. We’ve even got plans to go a few more times this year – for a cranberry festival, screemfest, a polar express ride and a holiday lights tour – I’m so excited!

Of course, I had to scrap a little page about our love:

I used Jenn Barrette’s collab with Sahlin Studio – Vintage Carnival:

So tell me – do you love amusement parks?
