Amusement Park Day

My company rents out an amusement park every year for its employees. We are the only ones allowed in during that day. Today is that day. There will be free food in a massive pavillion. Even the premium rides that usually cost extra will be free.

Momoko is sick today. So she will have to stay home. Me and the kids are going to the park to have fun. We all like the go karts. Kit Kat wants to ride the bumper cars. Little Kat wants to take a ride up the elevator that takes you to the overlook high in the sky. You can see the whole park from up there.

Both Kit Kat and Little Kat like this spider ride where you spin round and round. I take a pass on that ride. We try to skip the newer rides because their lines are long. Last time Kit Kat brought a friend and they waited 2 hours in line for a new roller coaster. And now ... time to go visit the park.

Theme Park Adventure

My company had an employee appreciation day this weekend. They rented out a theme park for us. I only got two tickets. So I went with Little Kat. The traffic to get there was terrible. I almost turned around and went home before arriving. However we charged on. It was raining at our house. However after 2+ hours of driving, we found the theme park to be sunny weather.

Little Kat and I made a bee line to the go karts. He came in first place after the 10 laps of driving. It took over an hour in line to ride the go karts, But it was worth it. By the time we were done there, we were starved. Luckily there was free food in the pavilions. Little Kat and I loaded up on food. I was disappointed they had no free burgers. Little Kat was more disturbed that there was no chili for his hot dogs.

Next Little Kat tried to get me to ride some crazy spider looking spinner. No thanks. I held his bag as he went on it alone. We searched for some bumper cars next. One was closed for the summer. The other was for little kids. Little Kat tried to win a Domo stuffed animal by playing some carnival game. No luck there. We returned to the go kart. It was fun again. We grabbed some free soft drinks. I was worried about the drive home. So Little Kat bought some souvenirs and we went home.

The drive home had a lot of bad traffic too. However we got home in around 2 hours. Grabbed some burgers at Burger King. After dinner it was time to go to bed. It is a school and work night.

Amusement Park

My company rented out a whole amusement park. Our family went to enjoy the rides. There was free food and drinks. Plus there was lots of free ice cream.

Kit Kat invited a friend from school. They went to ride a scary roller coaster by themselves. After a few hours of waiting in line, they were informed that the ride was out of service.

Momoko took Little Kat and I to the go-kart race track. I rode in the car with Little Kat. It was a wild ride. We crashed into other drivers, and the side walls as well. This wasn't supposed to be bumper cars.

The family joined back for the kids to ride some type of twister ride a few times. Kit Kat dug down deep, got some serious courage, and rode a roller coaster with the rest of the boys. Although she screamed like a kitten, she survived.

Momoko spied a souvenir shop on the way out. Everything in the store was $10 or less. They got a lot of business from our party. We are now at home safe and sound. There is just a lot of homework for all the cats before Monday morning. What a weekend.
