RSSAmusement Park Fun and Madness
Comments (0) I must start by saying: Carrie and I are terrible parents! We spent the entire day with the kids and my father-in-law (Lil’ Papa) at an amusement park/water park and I took only 1 picture and it was with my Blackberry! Ok…that being said…
We started off the day by getting ready with the usual things:
- Dressing the kids
- Making sandwiches
- Running to the store for bottled water, ice, cigarettes (AHHHHH yes we both smoke!) and tampons
- Packing the cooler
- Packing the mini-van
- Yes – I did say tampons up there and YES I BOUGHT THEM! I even picked out the flavor scent type. Apparently, Carrie uses pads but since we were going to a water park, tampons were a better fit (no pun intended). Using my man brain, I picked out some sporty people tampon for women on the move. Of course when I got home she asked way I picked this kind because she apparently needed a super absorbent type. What the hell do I know? I was all proud of myself because I picked the sporty kind, figuring that she would be on the move all day…oh well back to my list…SORRY
- Spraying sunscreen on the kids (for the 1 hour car ride – that wasn’t my call)
- Loading the kids in the van
- Getting gas
- And finally on our way
It was really a great time. The kids loved the little rides as did Lil’ Papa and I in some cases! Corey (3yrs old) was pretty much fearless all day. He went on some rides including a small roller-coaster. Jordan-Rose (4yrs old) was good too and she is usually the tough one. Nicky (6yrs old) was his typical self, easy and periodically annoying. It was pretty much all of the usual for an amusement park but the kiddie pool was the highlight being it was 90 and extremely humid. Since Carrie was with her “friend”, she didn’t want to go in the pool and Nicky was with Lil’ Papa doing the water slides. So I have Jordy and Corey. We ran into the pool and walked around (it is on 18″ high) for a bit. They went on all of the slides and play things in the pool. Before long Carrie was in the pool; the heat was kickin her ass! Soon after that we were joined by Nicky and Lil’ Papa.
It was really fun except for the 10 minutes I couldn’t find Jordy! Before Carrie came in I was with the younger ones and Jordy wanted to do a lot more then Corey, so she ran off. I thought I had my eye on her but when I turned to help Corey, I lost sight of her. I eventually found her and went about our fun. Pretty friggin scary to lose a kid in an amusement park, let me tell you. Anyway, a good part of my time in the pool was spent sitting and getting pushed around by Corey. He was hysterical every time he knocked me over. Then somehow I was left to watch Nicky and HE DISAPPEARED TOO! Ok…that wasn’t good but it turns out he was with Lil’ Papa….2 close calls! Back to sitting down in the pool so Corey can knock me down.
So I am sitting in the middle of the pool playing with Corey and hundreds of kids and parents are walking or swimming by every second. All of a sudden my view was blocked by a rather LARGE woman wearing a bikini with more skin tags then I would like to have seen. I was annoyed but figured she would move since she was no further then 10 inches from the large 250 lb. guy sitting in the water playing with his kid. Nope, oblivious to me and Corey. She just stood there for a bit and slowly turned; now her ass is in my face! Ok that is enough! I grab Corey and walk about 10 feet away and plop back down again. Within seconds she is in front of me again. This time her crotch is in my face. I don’t know what was going on but it looked like she was smuggling popcorn into the pool in her bikini bottom. Short and curleys were popping out all over the place. Needless to say, I got out of the pool. Duh…what else do you do besides puke in the pool?
We all left the pool to go on some more rides and to get some ice cream. We found a nice spot in some shade to sit and ate our ice cream and cotton candy. Right in front of us was a little theater. They hold little shows for kids throughout the day and one was starting in 10 minutes. Right before show time, a young woman asked if my daughter would like to participate and she of course said yes. When asked if she wanted to be a fairly or knight she responded, without hesitation, that she wanted to be a knight (how fitting). It was great. She did a wonderful job and we didn’t catch on bit of it with a camera or video camera! Then we left the amusement park.
LOL….
