Food prices have gotten so high, and portions smaller, so we won't be eating there as often, as well.  It used to be that we could purchase one skillet dinner and share, but not so much any longer.  And those frozen lemonades?  Yikes!  I think we'll be making one at home once we leave the park and carry around water bottles.  But, that cinnamon bread is a must have!

I've tried making one of those skillets, also.  I had the ingredients right, but I couldn't get the seasoning perfect - close but still needs work.

Use my "smellavision" and head to Eva and Delilah's.  After that, I don't care what I do - I just want to be there.

I could definitely lose guests that I have brought in with my baf's, and they are ready to leave the park after a couple of hours!

Geesh!  I need to learn how to read - or wake up and smell the coffee - I am NOT glad the green trams are gone!  I miss them!! #Yawn#  I think I'm awake now.

Today, in Central Illinois, $3.86!  Yikes!  My CA son is already paying over $4.

Here we go again...I'm always "still waiting...."

I spent too much time "deep thinking" my response when the answer was right in front of me!  I miss the green trams, also.

I woke up this morning to a phone call from a friend who heard it on the news and an email from the GM where I have a condo (Pt. Royale).  How horrible!  Praying that everyone is safe!  That is most important!!

Trams, I don't know.  I have yet to ride American Plunge and not look like I fell in the lake!  How did you stay moist?  LOL 

River Blast is great fun, too!  I wasn't too keen on riding it, but once I did I loved it!!  And I was soaked!

My very favorite all time ride - wet or not - is Fire In The Hole!

Thanks Rube!   :)  I appreciate that!

My favorite experience last year would have to be listening to Eden's Edge in Echo Hollow.  I also enjoyed watching Nick Wallenda fly in on a helicopter and perform his aerial stunts.  I don't usually watch Echo Hollow shows, so this was fun!

The sights, sounds, smells, and atmosphere have always been enough for me.  Walking through that gate brings back childhood memories and recollections of trips when my own children were young. I think I've been there enough times over the past 30+ years that I could sit on a rock with a cup of coffee or frozen lemonade and just be happy that I'm there.

That doesn't mean I'm happy with the way things are!  I don't like the modernization and the trend of moving away from the theme of the park.  But, I will have to accept the park for what it is, and I will continue to walk thru that gate for the sights, sounds....
