The Aerie
Well this is annoying!
I'm trying to post an entry from my web phone, but they vanish everytime I hit Send.
One more time, I guess!
My youngest son has discovered the camera on the log chute. He is riding repeatedly on his all-day wristband (a Xmas gift from his Aunt Laura) just to gain five minutes of fame on the photo monitors.
I'm sad that I can't ride with him, but I'm trying to hold the cost of this trip to under $20. An all-day band for me would cost $25. We did have one bit of luck, though: I had just bought 10 ride points for $7.50, when a woman who was leaving offered me a bedraggled ticket.
Her $50 ride card still had 9 points on it. At first I thought, "Now why did I go buy the 10 points?" But then I realized that if I hadn't, I wouldn't have been there to get her ticket. Can't complain about 2-for-1 points!
Half the time he isn't even interested in the rides: he's hanging around the arcades, begging me or scrouinging for tokens. Nevermind that he has his own and the kids game computers at home. The kid lives for video games.
We're at Camp Snoopy for his monthly Dad Day, where I spend 1-on-1 time with each of the kids. His all-day wristband was burning a hole in his pocket. Even though his siblings declined to join him
(his sister intends to get every minute coming to her), and he'd have to ride alone most of the time, he wanted to go.
Okay, so I'll try posting this one more time.
