Knoebels

I got free $25 tickets to Knoebels and it was time to spend them! I have never been there but heard so much good about it!
Kyra's note to Dad :)
Brandon slept over at Brody, so we got him from there and were on the way. 1.20 min  - really is not that bad. Best part was HOW unbelievably beautiful 81-North is. I have never drove this way before so I could not stop looking at all the directions. I stopped at a couple of places just to take a picture.



When we parked, we had lunch and there it started... I applied sunblock to kids' faces and necks and neither of them liked it on their necks. I do not blame them but what can I do? It is summer and they needed sunblock. They both complained. Then they complained about this and that. And this person was wrong and this was not right and on and on and on. I was ready to turn around and go home at this point.

Many rides that Kyra wanted to try were for "48 height and she is about 46.5. Super close but not quite yet. Brandon did not want much to do the rides. Kyra asked me to do Wipeout with her. Then Brandon did it.

We tried Twister. This one was crazy! I do not want to go on it again. It was too bumpy, way, way too bumpy for me.
Brandon tried water bumper boats
Brandon was excited to try antique cars. And he was really good at driving them!

At this point kids complained about this ride and we did and then what we did not. At this point I noticed that Brandon's nose was slightly running and he was sneezing a lot and I was afraid he was catching a cold. Another thing, I think, because he was at Brody's, they never get to go to bed early enough so he is always tired after being there. I am sure it added.

So in the end I just got them fed, we each got desert (Kyra finally sno-cone, Brandon dippy-dots and me best peach smoothie ever with caramel popcorn) and we were on the way home.

Brandon slept almost the entire time. I could see he was tired. I really hope to get there next year when Kyra is 48'!
