If you're so tired of the "Total Immersion, Magical Experience" thing.... Then this TR is for you.  There will be none of that nonsense here.   This weekend H, Lil H, Gabe and I headed out for CAMP Wi

I say WWW require lots of practice. So we should do both.

:)

YAY I got in a KFK TR!!  :yaysmilesa-smiley:

 

Looks like the boys had fun there.  Please tell me you did that black water slide.

 

 

Glad you're here!  

 

To answer your question.... "I'm no fool, no sirree.  I"m gonna live to be a hundred and three... I play safe for you and me 'cause IIIIIII'MMMMM no fool!!!"  (in my best Jiminy Cricket voice)

 

I am late to the party, but I'm hear. The boys are getting so big. Can't wait to read more.

 

:heart:  just fashionable late.

 

I'm here too. I actually posted after the first update. I thought I double posted and ended up not posting at all! Love to follow the KFK fam on their trips! :) :heart:

 LOL Rita Pooh!!! :hug:

 

 

If you want to work on your Foosball skills, feel free to come by.  We have a table in the basement.  

 

 

Coincidentally it is located right near   :Bar: in our basement.  

 

My Foosball skills surely need honing.  And I'm glad you told me how to spell Foosball.   :))

Road trip to Yvonne's!

Fist UP!

 

 

Kim what's taking you so long??? 

:waiting2-smiley:

 

I'm driving the bus.  There were a lot of stops.

 

Great update.

The kids are stylin in the Braves gear!

The CG looks good.....the checkin building looked very nice.

Bring on the park!

 

Thanks.

 

Everyone looks great in Braves gear! ;D Refer to my signature line. 

 

Coming right up... as long as I am not distracted.   :banghead:

<p>I believe I left off with us on the tram bound for the park.  Our driver was a nice older gent who informed me that he knew everything about everything and if I needed to know.... just ask.   <img class="bbc_emoticon" src="http://www.fortfiends.net/forum/public/style_emoticons/default/laugh.png" title=":))" /></p>

<p> </p>

<p>We were let out at a nice little roof covered tram stop with benches.  Very nice at the end of a long day.  But we are just beginning our day so that can wait.</p>

<p>When your kids haven't been to an amusement park in two years... you can only imagine how excited the prospect of giant animatronic dinosaurs can make them.....</p>

<p> </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Both boys like Dinosaurs, but Lil H was jazzed to see Dinosaurs Alive!  So of course he made his case for that being the first stop.  And it was on the backside of the park.  Of course.  Oh well,  off we go!</p>

<p>The next photo has some of the secondary hills of the Initimadator, a coaster named and designed after famous NASCAR racer.. Dale Earnhart.  Note:  I said secondary hills.  Those are the little ones near the end of the ride.  There will be more on this later.</p>

<p>These two would go at it simultaneously.  The only problem is that the motion sensors are set to go off after a certain number of people walk past.  So we kept walking back and forth until they came alive!  WE're just jeenyus like that.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>While they were roaring and such... Lil H asked me if I knew which one would win in a fight.  I voted for the T-Rex but he said " No!  The Triceratops would win because T-Rex's arms are too short".   :))</p>

Site is giving me a lot of grief so I'll split this update into two parts...

 

I believe I left off with us on the tram bound for the park.  Our driver was a nice older gent who informed me that he knew everything about everything and if I needed to know.... just ask.  ;D
 
We were let out at a nice little roof covered tram stop with benches. Very nice at the end of a long day, but we are just beginning our day so that can wait.

We enjoyed these little signs along the way.  Lil' H gets a kick out of a good corny joke.

Getting near the midle/end of the exhibit there was a nice spot for archaology digs. Hmmmm this seems familiar.

These two would go at it simultaneously. The only problem is that the motion sensors are set to go off after a certain number of people walk past. So we kept walking back and forth until they came alive! WE're just jeenyus like that.

While they were roaring and such... Lil H asked me if I knew which one would win in a fight. I voted for the T-Rex but he said  "No! The Triceratops would win because T-Rex's arms are too short. "

This was a pretty cool attraction. It did cost 5 dollars extra but considering how inexpensive our tickets were... it was no biggie and well worth it for the boys.

Ok.... we're done with the dinos. I didn't even quite post them all. You're welcome. And that concludes the Jurassic portion of the report.

I know I said not to expect any magic... BUT... I didn't anticipate this....

That's right! Barrels! Barrels of Fun to be exact. Just like at the Fort. I almost forgot where I was.

More reporting to follow later...

Love the dinos!!!

 

They were pretty neat.  Especially for the kids. G got a little freaked at a couple of them. :))

 

The signs are a hoot (I like a good corny joke too) and I love this photo...

 

 

Barrels of Fun?!  I thought you said there wasn't any magic?  8)

 

Thanks.  

 

I am full of surprises. LOL.

 

 

 

Ok, for those who only got the text and no pics... I don't know what in the world happened! But I did not like it!  Not one bit! :D

 

The spacing is terrible but I am NOT going to try to edit.  I have learned my lesson.
