Let's Ride!

20224-05-26

Mom's flowers are doing well. We only went to Recess one day this week, due to weather and my field trip with Dad. I also did some LEGO building - well, more moving, since I relocated my medieval stuff to create a new layout.

The main street.

Birk, the Viking village.

Dad and I took the day off on Thursday and met Freya, Josh, and Kara at the amusement park - a season pass was one of my Christmas presents. It was a beautiful day, but the park was a little more crowded than we had hoped. The place was crawling with middle- and high-schoolers on end-of-the-year field trips. We counted about 50 school busses and 20 or so coaches in the parking lot when we left.

On the North Star swings.

These go up pretty high....

We did a lot of walking from ride to ride.

On the Xtreme Swings.

The Corkscrew (not actually me in this picture - this is just to show what it looks like).

The food truck that provided lunch.

Josh won this at Moo Ball!

We had mini donuts from this food truck.

Kara bought me a few spins on this wheel.

Eventually I won this little guy!

We went on this rollercoaster, too. But again, this picture is not of us.

On the Xtreme Swings again.

On the way out of the gate - already excited for next time!

In the end, we left because the lines were getting way too long. We rode: The North Star, High Roller, Xtreme Swing (twice), Wild Thing, Renegade, and the Corkscrew. We tried to ride Power Tower, but the wait was 45 minutes. We tried to do the North Star again, but the wait was even longer.

From the amusement park we went to a Bricks and Minifigs. I talked to the guys about LEGO for quite a while. My friend Elijah was not there, though. Freya bought a few things and Kara bought me an Ezra Bridger from Star Wars: Rebels and Hadras from Pirates of the Caribbean. I bought myself an Aztec Jaguar Warrior, a Pharoh, two guards for the Pharoh, a Lone Ranger and Tonto, and a second Musketeer.

Here are the minifigs - although Dad didn't manage to get Ezra in the picture.

Dad dropped me off at Grandpa Al and Grandma Wynne's on his way home. I stayed there until Sunday morning, when Dad came back to pick me up. Mostly I watched Dragon Prince, read my book, and played with my new minifigures. And of course I snuggled Loki and went to the dog park.

I saw Archie.

Me and Kato.

Me with Loki girl, Archie, Loki boy, and Arthus.

Dad and I had lunch and watched Clarkson's Farm when we got home. Then I got to work on my new LEGO projects and played some Civilization: Revolutions.

And that was it for my week - it was really fun! Take care!

Dad saw these clouds on his way to work Friday morning - they look really cool.
