'Twas great
We were a little apprehensive because we suspected that writbands had nearly doubled in price since we last went a few years ago -and they had- and we weren't sure if the kids would actually go on the rides after saying they wanted to, so it would end up being a disappointing waste of a lot of money. But they did go on most of the rides, all found some the loved, and even Thor could reach the pedal on the bumper cars so he could drive his own.
But best of all, the weather was perfect and yet there were NO LINES. All night! we each went on about 20 rides for $20 in a 4 hour period. awesome value. (Well all except beest who hates rides so didn't get a wristband, so he got good value too
)
I have no idea why it was so empty -maybe because it was the first day and it didn'd run last year for various reasons and it's a week late than usual, so maybe people just didn't know....?
anyway, much fun had by all. You been to the funfair/carnival/midway this year?
I think we might also go the Michigan's Adverture Themepark/Waterpark this year. I am a roller-coaster freak, but the only themepark i've been to since I moved to the land of the rollerocoaster was in Toronto!
