Trip review for Saturday, May 5. We were doing a down and back to the city Saturday so we left home a bit after 6, and pulled into parking at 9:18. Love all the road improvements between here and there. Got into the park and oldest went straight to PK while youngest and I went to FITH. I can’t speak for PK but in FITH there were more effects NOT working than working. It was a bit disappointing for me but no one else seemed bothered. We rode FITH three times in the time oldest rode PK (in the front row) twice. Not too bad. Then headed to HDH. The slide being gone is weird, but I guess they’ll get used to it. Rode the train. (I didn’t take construction pics, but dang, it seems like there is a lot done). Left the station for AP and the line was back to the furniture store (which may move quickly but with two little kids that long hot wait across the bridge is not worth it) so we headed to LRTO, where we were told the wait was an hour, I think we were actually in line about 40 mins which was just long enough for everyone to pull a snack out of the backpack and relax. This was the hit of the day! Everyone got wet and had a great time. Then walked over to “Via Italia” which was disappointing, no street performers or living statues, just a lot of people standing and blocking the walkway. Rode lady bugs, caterpillars, and just as oldest was about to get on the swings they quit (which was a blessing bc they sat there for quite a while). Then went to FM and TNT, stopped at the bat cart, watched a few minutes of the flag throwers (which my kids and hub really liked), walked through the barnyard (very empty just a dog and two goats) and then headed home! Left the park at 2:15 and arrived home at 5:15. These trips are a whirlwind but definitely fun!
