Here's what I discovered: It's hot in Vallejo and the theme park is expensive. Mystery solved.
Despite the heat and the amount of cash we donated to the amusement park, we had a great time. Ben and his mom, Kim, also joined in the festivities. There were several roller coaster rides, games, etc. but we stuck with Thomas Town, Looney Tunes Seaport, Tava's Jungleland and any apparatus that had water flowing from it.
Here, Sam gets to control Harold the Helicopter (insert theme music here):
No visit to Thomas Town is complete without posing with your favorite conductor...I love how seriously Sam took his pose here:
Sam and his favorite mom....
Sam and his favorite train...
When Ben arrived, the boys took Harold for another spin in the sky:
As mentioned before, we made it a priority to keep the boys wet because it was so hot. Apparently, Discovery Kingdom is aware of this reasoning in parents because there were multiple places that looked like the one below and some were even larger:
After the boys ran through the water, they decided to shoot me with their Eva-like laser while waiting for our 45 second roller coaster ride that was so jarring I broke a rib and got whiplash (I'm not exaggerating, I swear...ask Kim):
The boys dried off pretty quickly and so we decided to get them soaked again...Here the are, dry as a whistle and looking cute:
...and now they are soaked. Fun.
One of the best parts of our day was watching the show performed by Shouka, the killer whale. Let me tell you something, she has mad skills! She also got us wet (She, too, is aware of the theme of the day....that whale is a genius).
All I can think of when I see this picture is, "Chug, chug, chug..." I wonder if this is foreshadowing the future?
In Tava's Jungleland, they have a cool safari ride:
Apparently, there was traffic....and Sam was stuck at the end:
To say Sam was "tired" is an understatement...I carried him for quite a distance back to the car and this is what he did upon entering:
And this is what he looked like twenty seconds later:
