Our excursion began with a visit to a small zoo in the area which was nice, although they didn't have any zebras or elephants which were the most requested animals for our crew. We also enjoyed a picnic lunch and then headed to an amusement park where rides are only 25 cents a piece! That is a deal!!!
We had a great time and the children were all excited about this surprise. After a short train ride around the grounds I looked at storm clouds rolling in and kept my eye on them. John decided to take George and Tank on the Scrambler while I had the others headed on a little helicopter ride. As I stood in line and watched the Scrambler startup a big gust of wind picked up and it began to drizzle. We headed for cover and just in time as a downpour began. From our dry spot we watched as the Scrambler kept on spinning and ended up being the only ride in the park still moving. There was John trying to shield the boys from the pelting rain and as they finally got off ran for cover. They were soaked! John has now renamed the Scrambler the "Washing Machine - Rinse Cycle". Thankfully the rain didn't last too long and it caused the park to empty out, although we needed to wait while they dried off the rides. We were able to enjoy a little more time and hope to go back again before the season is over.

Great pictures. Boy, John sure is adventurous. You wouldn't get me on the tilt-a-whirl. I have a hard time with the Ferris wheel. We usually try to get there once a season as well but haven't gone yet this year. Hopefully soon.
Twenty-five cents!!! That is a great deal!! It would almost be worth the drive from here(in Canada)!!
Looks like a fun day!
LOL about the Rinse Cycle, though i'm sure it wasn't very funny to him at the time.
What a blessing to be able to go and do fun things like this with the family. I'm sure y'all made some great memories!
