WE ARRIVED AT ADVENTURELAND ON FRIDAY THE 13TH. OF APRIL, WE ARE HOPING THAT THIS ISN'T AN OMEN! WE CHECKED IN AT THE OFFICE, AND WE WERE ASSIGNED LOT NUMBER 67, AND WE LOVE IT!!
IT IS A VERY LARGE LOT AND WE ARE CLOSE TO ADVENTURELAND AMUSEMENT PARK, WHERE WE WILL WORK FOR THE SUMMER. THIS IS A PICTURE OF THE BRIDGE THAT WE WILL WALK OVER TO GET TO WORK.
THERE WERE ABOUT 40 OTHER RVS HERE, WE MET RANDY AND DEBBY, OUR NEXT DOOR NEIGHBORS, WHO HAVE BEEN COMING TO WORK AT ADVENTURELAND FOR SIX YEARS. WE ATTENDED THE WELCOME MEETING AT 9:00 ON APRIL 17.
WE MET ALOT OF NICE PEOPLE AND PICKED UP OUR UNIFORMS WE. ALSO SAW A SCHEDULE OF THE ACTIVITIES THEY HAVE PLANNED FOR US THIS SUMMER. LOOKS LIKE FUN!!!
ON THURSDAY, APRIL 19, WE HEADED TO SAULK RAPIDS TO VISIT JSZ. IT IS ONLY A FIVE HOUR DRIVE FROM HERE, WHICH IS ONE OF THE REASONS WE DECIDED TO COME TO ADVENTURELAND FOR THE SUMMER. JACOB OFFERED TO CLEAN MAGGIE AND MARLEE'S TEETH. WE ARRIVED EARLY ENOUGH TO ATTEND ONE OF ZACHARY'S TRACK MEETS.
AFTERWARDS, WE TOOK THE GIRLS HOME AND JACOB AND SONYA WENT TO THE GROCERY STORE AND CAME BACK WITH A BIRTHDAY CAKE FOR ME. ZACHARY'S GIRLFRIEND, SIERRA, CAME OVER AND HAD CAKE WITH US. THE NEXT MORNING WE HEADED BACK TO ALTOONA, WE HAD A WONDERFUL TIME AND IT WAS GREAT TO SEE THEM. WE WILL GO BACK ON MAY 29 TO ATTEND ZACHARY'S GRADUATION.
OUR FIRST WEEKEND TO WORK WAS THE WEEKEND OF APRIL 28. I WILL BE WORKING IN PIZZA AT RIVER CITY. DARRELL IS WORKING THE NORTH SKY RIDE. WE WILL WORK OPEN TO CLOSE, WHICH IS 10:00 TO 6:00 ON SATURDAY AND 10:00 TO 5:00 ON SUNDAY.
IT WAS A TOUGH WEEKEND, IT WAS COLD AND RAINY AND BUSY, I STARTED OUT MAKING PIZZAS, IT WAS A VERY LONG DAY, MY FEET AND LEGS HURT SO BAD BY 6:00 . MY PLANTAR FACIITIS FLARED UP, WASN'T REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO GOING BACK SUNDAY, THANK GOODNESS, WE WEREN'T BUSY AND I OFFERED TO LEAVE EARLY. HOPING I CAN GET THE PLANTAR UNDER CONTROL AND HOPING I CAN DO THIS JOB. ON FRIDAY, MAY 4, WE WENT TO PELLA, IOWA TO THE TULIP FESTIVAL. THE TULIPS BLOOMED EARLY THIS YEAR, THE FIRST WEEK OF APRIL DUE TO THE "WINTER THAT WASN'T" ......THIS IS ALL THAT WAS LEFT OF THE TULIPS........
WE HAD A GREAT TIME!! IT LOOKED LIKE THE WHOLE TOWN TURNED OUT FOR THIS EVENT!! EVERYONE WAS IN COSTUME....SAW THESE CUTE KIDS IN THE PARK!!
THERE WERE BEDS AND BEDS OF TULIPS WITHOUT BLOOMS........I'LL BET IT'S BEAUTIFUL WHEN THEY ARE IN BLOOM!!
