Funtown

Funtown fun times. Courtney, Leo, Alec and I went on this particular adventure Monday afternoon. Kids under 48'” are free after 3PM on Sundays and Mondays. If you’ve got a couple short ones, you might want to take advantage- it’ll save you some cash.  I was pretty happy because I got to work and still do something fun with my boy!

After all the hot sunny days, this was the coolest and cloudiest day we had experienced in quite a while. I think the four of us were pretty happy about that. It was nice not to have to worry about dehydration, burning and feeling like a sticky mess.  Alec and Leo were pretty psyched to be together. Leo is still going through a bit of culture shock. He still refuses to speak English much to Alec’s frustration but somehow they manage to still have fun and really do enjoy each others company.

It started to rain while we were there. We waited it out for a little while to see if they would close the park. They have a weather guarantee- you get a free pass if they close the park due to weather. Many people left. But then the rain stopped –and the rides kept going and it was like the boys had the park to themselves. They rode the frogger ride no less than 5 times in a row without getting off. Alec would smile and give the man a thumbs up sign and the man would push the button to start it up again.

Leo’s favorite ride was the carousel. So while he rode that again and maybe again , Alec and I were off to the grown-up tea cups and the tilt-a whirl. We had a blast on those.I am getting older though because those round and round rides did get to my stomach after a while!  We met up with them again and decided the last ride of the night would be the log flume since we were already wet –if we got even wetter (more wet?) it wouldn’t matter because it would be such a short ride home.

As you can see, it has a pretty big drop.  Turns out sitting in the front was not a good choice for poor Leo. He came off the ride drenched and sobbing..and I mean SOBBING. Poor bloke.

Alec immediately asked to go on it again. Very true to their personalities- the opposite in just about everything and even so, they still had a great time!
