Labor Day 2007, and a safari...
Dear Nicky,
Today was Labor Day, an unofficial end to the summer. It was a beautiful day and we decided to do something interesting and go on an adventure. So we all went to Great Adventure, a theme park in South Jersey about an hour and half away. On the way down, you ate a bunch of Burger King hash browns and softly asked for more. We wanted to go to the drive-through safari they have at Great Adventure. It's more like a drive-through zoo, since a safari is when you go into the wild where the animals live for real and are totally free to move around. Some animals today were indeed free to move around, but they were mostly ostriches and gazelles. They were kind of boring. It would've been nice to see some tigers and lions moving around freely, but they were all fenced in, as were most of the animals. And as it was a warm day and the noon sun was strong, they were all taking naps for the most part. It was more fun to watch your reactions. The whole ride down, neither you nor Junie took a nap, which Mom and I were counting on you to do. Five minutes from the park, you guys went to sleep, then woke up fussing shortly thereafter. We didn't know what to do till one of the ticket salespeople said we should park in this little rest area, see if you could calm down, then perhaps carry on. That's exactly what we did. The rest area was near a big rollercoaster, which totally fascinated you guys into peacefullness and allowed us to do the safari, which took about an hour. Afterward, we thought about checking out the theme park, especially the Wiggles show, but you guys were too tired so we came home and grilled some hot dogs and hamburgers, which were really good, but which you ate none of. And just like that the day was done.
