King's Island trip...


Jarrett visited King's Island for the first time last weekend with his mama, daddy, and pap. He had a great time. The park was decorated for Halloween, and starting at 7:00, they began the Haunted Hunt...oh boy was it interesting! Fog machines placed all over the park cranked up the creepy factor because we couldn't see more than a few feet in front of us. The playhouses were transformed into haunted houses, creepy music played all over the park, and gory scenes were set up in open spaces. Apparently people love to pay to be scared because, contrary to what we expected, the park was packed!!! The wait for rides averaged 1.5 hours, but it was OK with us because J-man is still too short to ride those "high thrill" rides that were most popular anyway!! But, he loved, loved, loved the rides he got on. He enjoyed the games he played at the midway and he won a stuffed Taz which he renamed "Crush" because he thought it suited it better. He was even super excited about staying in a hotel...mama had to get a pic of J-man with the Shoney Big Boy beside our hotel because it's one of the last of its kind still around...ha!ha!ha! All in all, we a had a SPOOKTACULAR weekend of fun, good food, and good company!!
