Cherry Festival

Dylan says:
We went to the Cherry Festival. I got cherries and an ice cream sandwich. We went on a ride called the Paratrooper. It was very fun. Then we went on the bumper cars. It was fun and I knew how to drive it. Then we went to a ride called 1001 Nights. Then we went on the Tilt-a-Whirl. And then we ran out of tickets. And Daddy wouldn't let us get any more. Then we went to a different section of the Cherry Festival where you had to use money instead of tickets. I went on a big bouncy ride with bungee cords. Then I went on a jungle filled with air and slid down a volcano slide, somersaulted through trees, and avoided the big air-filled birds that Daddy was pushing at me from the outside. Then we ran out of money and we couldn't go on any more rides.

Dick worked at the Visitor Center this morning, and we all met him at noon when he was finished. We went across to the Festival tents, and had lunch. We shared our table with Barb, Melissa, Autumn, and Brooke - what are the odds?!? Also saw Shelly and Kelvin.
As Dylan said, the rides were very much fun, and by 3:30 we had all had enough of the Festival Festivities.
Mancino's Pizza for dinner - and I'm too full!
Happy Cherry Festival
