Oh, you sweet-talker, you....
We really do receive a lot of nice emails.
It's quite gratifying. And we really do appreciate it.
Once in a while, someone comes up with a new bit of praise...
...such as was found in the middle of an email that arrived this morning.
In addition to some kind words about our rides, employees, and the cleanliness of the park, came this wonderful phrase:
...an intelligent logistical layout...
Got to admit, it gave me a little tingle.

Out of sight, but never out of mind
It was getting close to bedtime for James last night. My second grader had grabbed a good book and made himself comfortable on Daddy's side of the bed. (Stories from the "good book," actually.)
It seemed a good time to sneak in for a cuddle, so I slipped in on my side and got ready for the uphill climb. We have one of those "sleep number" beds. Gary would be happy sleeping on a rock, so his side is set at 100 ("You sure it won't go any higher?" he asks me all the time). I prefer a more moderate 45 or 55, so it was a bit of a heave-ho to make it over to James's side.
I smoothly slid one of my arms under the lad's head and the other I placed lightly across his belly. Not lightly enough, it turns out.
"Mom...the lapbar is too tight."

With a bit of rain approaching...
...I just heard the following on our 2-way radio:
Would someone please let Santa know that the windows on his sleigh are down?

Popcorn can help save your life
...but then you already knew that, if you were one of 23 million people to receive (and, um ... read) last weekend's copy of USA Weekend.
And on that same page (page 6, if you want to dig it out of the recycling bin), you'll also see an article about seven of the nation's top water parks.
Nice to see ZOOMbabwe get some "ink."
Purple ink.
