Amusing things at the park...

We were in Tennessee 2 days over Spring Break.  We went to Dollywood, and the kids were super excited.  There are a few things I've noticed about being in an amusement park.

First of all, everyone in the park (mostly) is just happy.  I mean goofy happy.  People will do things in an amusement park that they would never do in a "normal" place.  Like wave at people all over the park while riding on a train (or wave at the people actually on the train), and shout "Howdy!" at those same people.  Or wear the most ridiculous hats ever invented.  Or eat themselves silly just because the food looks and smells awesome, and because they see everyone else eating it!

I also noticed that nowhere else on earth would you subject yourself to spinning around and around until you are sick.  Or riding in a metal projectile that drops you at what seems like a zillion miles an hour from 85 feet in the air while hitting actual tree branches.  I mean, come on people...you're in the freaking trees!!  But I digress...

Being in an amusement park is well, amusing!  I love to people-watch and it's definitely one of the best places to do it.  And I'm sure somewhere there is someone writing a blog right now about me and my family and 2 little boys, and all of the craziness that they saw from us!    But until next time, I guess we'll keep that craziness a secret (only because I agreed to protect the identity of the innocent family members who were with me!).
