We slept till noon for a change and then The Man took The Kid, The Niece and me to lunch at The Endzone. The club sandwich I had was pretty good and the weather was comfortable for sitting outside. My only complaint is the chairs on the patio (those kind that have you way back in a reclining position so only your knees touch the table.)

From there The Man dropped us (The Kid and The Niece) off at Arnolds Park. Now, I had previously bought a summer pass for The Kid and me so I figured it I wasn’t going to go on any rides, then The Niece could use it. No such luck. The Kid and I got our wristbands and I quickly ducked behind the Tipee House to peel mine off and put it on The Niece. Problem solved although not without the guilt of knowing The Kid was wondering if Her Mom just did something terribly naughty.

I am not sure how that happened but after a little nap I was ready to go (well I could’ve used another hour or two.) The Man was busy helping to get a friend’s van started so The Kid and I went by ourselves. When we got there, the first thing we did was get our season pass. for $52 its a pretty good deal for those of us coming to Boji every weekend. Then it was off to get a Nutty Bar for me and a cone for The Kid. She is even fussier than I am. She only likes vanilla ice cream – what’s up with that?

It took all of 5 minutes for The Kid to realize she is now tall enough to ride the roller coaster. I didn’t really want to but I was hesitant to let her go by herself. Usually when I ride it I’m unable to move for a couple of days due to strained muscles in my back. I suppose it’s an age thing. The Arnold’s Park roller coaster was the first one I ever went on when I was a kid and I remember that day well. I didn’t want to wreck the moment for her so I strapped myself in and arranged myself so there would be the least amount of jostling to my aging organs.

When it was over, her ear to ear grin made me (almost) forget the fact that I could only move my head about 10 degrees each direction.
