Critter’s Krib

What if you were a nurse or doctor sitting there eating lunch one day and the cat came and snuggled up next to you? *shudder*

Can you imagine this?

Not even for $1,000

So Thursday afternoon we headed out to Wet & Wild at Emerald Point. We had a pretty good time. We have been to one before, but I cannot remember which one. This one did not seem as big, but the kids had fun and that’s all that really matters, right? Both Talon and Phoenix had a blast playing in the pools.

A couple of things about yesterday, though…

As we entered the park there was a AAA truck broken down. I asked the bloke if he would be required to show his card? He laughed. Second truck that broke down on him this week. I asked him if it was him or the trucks. “The trucks”, he replied, “definitely the trucks!”

I have never seen so many obese children in one day, it was truly sad. And I don’t just mean kids that are a little chunky. I am talking about kids that are huge. Six and seven year olds that get winded just walking up the stairs. Again… a sad, sad sight.

This one lady came up to her kid, yelling at him that he was to go on “one ride” and then come back. “That was 2 hours ago” (whoops)

Swim diapers for babies cost… are you read for this… $3.99 for ONE diaper!

On the way out the lady in the car behind (we’ll call her Chick-A) would not let this other chick merge in front of her (we’ll call her Chick-B). Chick-B sat on the horn for ages. They were both throwing words back and forth. We came up to a stop sign and Chick-B jumped out of her car and approached Chick-A. They just shouted back and forth for a bit until traffic started to move again. When we came up to a second stop sign, Chick-B, again jumped out of her car, and so did Chick-A this time. They started scrapping just as Chick-C jumped out of the passenger side of Chick-B’s car to help her friend. Chick-C immediately took off her shoe and attempted to hit Chick-A with it. That’s all I saw. I would have seen more, but Jenene was yelling at me to go. Both Chick’s had their kids in their cars… way to set an example. It was obviously a proud parent day at Wet & Wild!

I had a Hardee’s Thick Burger on the way home. The 2/3 lb. Monster. It was awesome! I don’t normally eat fast food.. or burgers period, but it was a one off.. (I just looked at their website OMG. 1300 calories 96g FAT um… WOW.. last time I have one of those… )

Talon had a regular burger. He threw up in the car 20 minutes later. Thank goodness we didn’t have a full on puke reaction. He was smart enough to grab a bag to puke in. *shudder*

That’s about it.

I received an email a couple of weeks ago notifying me of a pre-opening showing of Transformers. Talon and I arrived 2 hours before the movie was scheduled to begin, thinking there would be long lines. There were not. They had it playing in 3 theaters and only had about 200 tickets pre-sold.

The movie was amazing. Just awesome, Talon and I both loved it and cannot wait to see it again!

Bumblebee rules!
