Coney Island!!

This weekend I went with Laura, Lou, and the girls to Coney Island to see the Aquarium and while we were there Laura and I went on the famous Cyclone! The girls had lots of fun at the Aquarium and Laura and I had lots of fun on the roller coaster :) we got lucky with the timing, this was the first weekend the roller coaster was open this season so we timed it just right! We saw lots of cool fish and animals at the Aquarium, Brianna's favorites were the penguins and the sharks. We watched sea lion show and I even got a kiss on the cheek from Oscar the sea lion :) it was a such a fun day, here are some pictures of all the fun we had!!


Here is the famous sign of the Cyclone Roller Coaster that is in a few movies!

There is only one car going and it is chaos trying to get on the roller coaster, they dont have the rows divided by bars so just like everywhere else in New York you have to push your way through to get the seat you want on the roller coaster. It took me and Laura about 5 runs to actually get on, it was crazy!! Not only that but you can pay to re-ride and they don't make you get off and go to the back of the line so most people stay on and go 2 or 3 times.

Me and Laura ready to go! Laura was nervous the whole time and I as usual was as exicted as a little kid on Christmas morning! :) The seats are so padded that we barely fit together you have to climb on the seat to get in because its such a tight squeeze, most people have to ride as single riders.

At the Aquarium they have a Planet Earth 4-D show that we thought we would try. Well.... it did go over so well, the girls only lasted about 5 minutes before they were both hysterical crying because they were so scared, it was so sad!
Brianna loves to eat and hates to share as you can tell.


Here is Oscar the sea lion, I got a kiss on the cheek from him because Brianna really wanted to see him give me a kiss, so I went along with it... well it was wet and smelly to say the least! :)


Oscar was quite the dancer, it was cute.

The girls and me waiting for the show to start.
Brianna and me in front of the Coral Reef Exhibit.

Its almost impossible to get Chloe and Brianna to look at the camera in the same picture.

Brianna's penguins.
The lazy sea otters.

The fat walrus.
