Annabelle and Josie had never been on a rollercoaster, so we thought that once the therm-o-meter hit the century mark we’d take Team Sublett to HersheyPark! It’s been a number of years since either Kim or I have been there, and since none of the Sublett children have displayed a craving of the coaster, big time amusement parks haven’t been in the rotation.
That’s going to change.
It was stinkin’ hot Friday. I’m talking about non-stop sweat. The kind of day where you walk around with your arms held away from your side because you don’t want any parts of your flesh touching another. I think I saw a couple of little kids actually burst into flame. Look at the pictures of us–Sadie was worn out, and that was after a couple of hours in the park!
Kim’s usually content to leave the quips and witticisms to me and Levi, but she had an excellent take on the day, so I have to credit her with the summary statement of the day:
It was a day of losing: Sadie about lost her mind to the heat. Annabelle lost her glasses and Levi lost his fear of coasters on the Super Dooper Looper. Aunt Chelle lost her bathing suit on the Waverider. Uncle Drew lost his phone on Farenheit. And Kim lost the crown on her tooth on a candy apple on the way out of the park!
We had such a good time. Lilly was content to let us ride the coasters while she hung out with Drew and Chelle’s girls. The water park was just the ticket for cooling off, and the lines were pretty short all day. We stayed til the park closed, catching one last ride on the Great Bear. Levi, Drew, Annabelle, and Josie waited for the front car, flying through the night sky one last time.
Even with all the losses, we have to chalk our trip to HersheyPark up as a win for Team Sublett.
