Park day#1

Well, after sleeping eleven hours I am refreshed and ready to go. Downstairs for breakfast. First breakfast bowl I’ve had with salad in it lol.

Weather is 66 degrees and blue skies. We made it to the park around 11am. We met up with one of Krystal’s friends and her daughter. Let the fun begin!

We equipped Camden with an air tag. I wish they had those when Krystal and Kasey were growing up. That was my biggest fear. Lost or stolen.

Me: Camden, want to go on that ride?

Camden : no scary.

Me: Camden, want to go on that ride?

Camden : no scary.

Me: Camden, want to go on that ride?

Camden : no scary.

Me: how about this one?

Camden : okay. Coast Cruise.

90 minute wait time🙄😂. He is his mother’s child.

This theme park is very much hands on and things got better. Camden tried out a few rides and got his drivers license 😁

There are these signs all over. I know there is a water shortage but I drank a big cup of water from the faucet last night at the hotel😲 I wonder where that water came from? And what about this fountain? I’m sure the kids playing in it never have their mouths open.

There are also warnings on the app and around the park that they only accept credit / debit cards at their park and hotels. They have Cash-to-Card Kiosks where you can exchange cash into a prepaid card that can be used as a VISA card. A reverse ATM machine lol. I had noticed at a local smoothie shop they had trouble giving out change. I guess the change shortage is more prevalent here than at home. Which brings me to the smashed penny machine. It takes dollars or a card as payment lol. They must be premaid or just full of pennies. I remember when they were two quarters and a penny lol. I guess that dates me😂

We went to the water park for a while. It was super crowded but the kids had fun. We’re going back tomorrow so I hope it’s cleared out.

Apple fries. Sounds delicious, right? Well all I heard was fries and whip cream so I ate them. They were delicious going down but once they landed, not so good. Then I remembered they were apples. On my FODMAP diet they were on the do not eat list. I now know I am definitely allergic to apples. Then we went to dinner and I ordered a cider. Well duh, that’s made out of apples….I only drank half before realizing this and feeling sicker. The rest of the night was not good.

Oh well can’t wait till tomorrow.
