We started out at Thomas Town and I don't think Thorin was able to absorb it all. We went for a ride with Thomas, Bertie the bus and on Harold the Helicopter. We moved on to Wiggles World where we caught a show with Dorothy the Dinosaur and Wags the Dog. Honor and Mikey thought it was pretty cool but again I don't think Thorin had time to absorb all the coolness and fun that was surrounding him :) It was awesome to see the three kids going on rides together without me or Darren and having fun.
We then moved onto the DC Comic area to have lunch at Johnny Rockets which worked out really well. We bought all our tickets, parking and meals online so I just needed to show the paper and got our family meal of burgers, fries and onion rings. I don't know if it's because it was an online order but the food came out much, much faster than the chicken strips that I added on and the meals that other people were waiting for. I ended up waiting probably 10 minutes extra for the chicken. I think next time I'll just buy everything online.
After lunch we were reminded for the millionth time by Mikey that we needed to find the superheros. Because we were in the DC Comics area we figured we'd see them there but nope....they were on the other side of the park. We also found out that the park keeps their Heros and Villains separate so there's no fights. As we headed to the water park we happened upon the tent where the villains would be but at the time it was Scooby and Scrappy Doo, not to exciting for our group so we moved on.
The water park was awesome! Honor and Mikey really had a great time and I think next time we should go with friends and rent a cabana! It's great that they have so many life guards and also make everyone take "safety breaks" so no one gets too tired from playing in the water too much. Another thing that made the waterpark awesome was they have a ton of life-jackets just hanging on coat racks everywhere around the park so if someone needs one you just grab it, put it on and head for the water.
After the water park we headed back thinking it was time to go home but on the way by the tent where Scooby was we now saw Joker and Cheetah were posing for pictures. Honor got on her cape (Mikey didn't have one yet) and the two of them posed with the Villains. It was such a great picture I had to buy it! And now we were on the hunt for the Heros because the day wouldn't have been complete if Mikey didn't see at least one Superhero.
Of course we had to get Mikey a Superman cape and got Thorin a Batman one and headed on our way to find some superheros. We stopped at the Houdini ride which was cool but not for anyone who gets motion sickness! Honor had a rough time but just closed her eyes and made it through. While Mimi, Delaney and I took a rest Darren took Honor, Mikey and Thorin to find the elusive heros. A few minutes Mikey came running up the hill looking very excited....he saw Flash and the Green Lantern!! Darren gave me the ticket for the picture and told me I had to go check it out. Of course it was another keeper and a great end to the day.
Thanks to Mimi for getting the tickets, we'll definitely be back!
Great food, Great friends and Great fun sums up Thorin's Carnival! Happy #2 "Big Guy!"
