Just me……and 10,000 of my closest friends








We slept in again, but this time, we didn’t have nearly as much crap to do. We’re starting to hit our groove. We still made it to the park late, but we got ready in half the time as yesterday and I don’t have to wait in line today.
At least not for tickets.
Unfortunately, we did have to wait in line for everything else. Most lines were close to an hour long. The boys started out by going on the racetrak where Alex demonstrated how he will never be allowed to borrow the Escalade (although he claims someone rammed him and spun him out).













But most of the day was spent waiting in line
 
We had stopped at WalMart to buy a small bag because I wanted a break from the wagon. We also left the big camera`s behind as witnessed by the pictures, but it felt good to travel light. As the day went on, it started getting busier and busier. It`s cheaper to come into the park after 5:00, and with the fireworks starting at 10:00. The place was mental. There had to be 10,000 people in the park. Wait times were up to 2 hours for rides and just walking through the crowd we got seperated two times. The park was way too packed. We wanted to stay for the fireworks, but we figured they`d last at least half an hour and we still had a 50 minute drive. We didn`t get all the rides in we wanted, so we thought the park would be less packed tomorrow. We thought we should head home and get up super early, pack up the trailer and try to be at the park for 10:00.



 
















The park was beautiful at night. Wish we could have stayed longer, but it was crazy. Getting out of the parking lot proved to be tough as well. Because it is so clear around Wonderland, people were parked all over the place. Even on the exits to the 400!



 





 We got out of there and headed back to the campsite. Alex and I started packing up outside to speed things up tomorrow morning while Guylaine got the clothes ready for the morning and put the kids to bed.  Let`s see how fast we can get out here tomorrow.
