We didn't make it to Lagoon this summer, so we decided to hit Frightmares this fall. We picked a perfect day--sunny and 76, no wind. We left our house around 9:00 and took two cars down. Kory and I had the little kids and they managed not to kill each other during the ride.
We got there pretty close to opening and headed straight to Cannibal and Blast Off. After that, Kory and I mainly stayed with Caleb and Morgan, since they don't love all of the big rides as much. Morgan is definitely finally tall enough to ride all of the rides, but she's still at that in-between stage where she thinks the Puff rollercoaster is still fun.
After a few hours, Kory and I took off and got food at the In n Out in Centerville for everyone. We caused a little bit of a stir in the eating area, people kept stopping and asking--"Wait, is there an In n Out here?" We figure it saved us a lot of money doing it that way instead of eating park food.
The few rides that we went on together were Turn of the Century, Musik Express, and Rattlesnake Rapids. We got totally soaked on Rattlesnake Rapids, which we couldn't figure out because lots of people don't get wet at all. Maybe it's because we had a lot of people in the boat.
So things got more Frightmare-ish as it got later and darker. Lots of photo ops, and then they start sending more scary people in costumes out to wander around--lots of zombies and stuff. And then at dark, they have like five spook alleys and there were super long lines for all of them. We didn't hit any of the spook alleys, but it was kind of fun being there near Halloween. The older kids headed home about an hour before we did, because the little kids are more die hards. They all pretty much konked out and slept the whole way home.
When we got home we found that we had been TPed (some friends of Phoebe's we think), so we got to clean that up. That was not what we wanted to do at midnight. Plus, Friday, Phoebe backed into someone in the school parking lot, so we get to deal with that this week. Good times, good times. :)
