I may be partially (okay...fully perhaps) to blame for said addiction since I enabled her quite frequently last year with trips during my vacation from work, but who could blame me really? An amusement park with free admission and free parking with decently priced food and a variety of rides for those both young and old, sign me up.
Although it may sound like this is an advertisement, I assure you it's not. I'm just a beezy on a budget who enjoys cheap thrills while also lighting my daughters face up with joy and laughter.
I literally on multiple occasions have had to 'play' Knoebels with her during the winter while they were closed, when she would get on my lap and request that I let her 'ride' the rolletcoaster, cars and boats. She has asked about it practically every weekend so I knew that I had to take her on opening day, which just happened to be this past Saturday.
If you caught my IG stories this weekend (@lwlh), then you were able to witness the utter surprise and excitement as we pulled in and she screamed 'we here. Wook Mommy, it right dere, it right dere Mommy!!'
She and her cousins were in all their tiny glory being able to go to the amusement park as a surprise, as we each dashed to our respective age appropriate rides. I took on the tiny terrors as my sister entertained my ten year old nephew, and we had a blast. The kids got to ride a few of their favorites and my sister and I got to enjoy the happiness that a simple $20 book of tickets can bring a kid.
With it being opening day, it got crowded quite quickly so we made a mad dash for the exits after a couple good hours in.
BUT FIRST...FUNNEL CAKE!
There have only been a handful of times that I have left the park without one, and Saturday was not it. I'm thinking maybe a caramel apple next time....
Please believe there will be a next time.
This was just the first of many visits this season.
