Quassy Recap

Before I hit the hay with a cotton-candy induced tummy ache, I had to take a minute to report on our adventure.

We hit the road by 5 and took the Merritt. Of course, it was backed up so we didn't get to Quassy til 6:15-would take around 51 mins without traffic.

We purchased $10 worth of tickets and headed in and just started riding rides. It was a gorgeous night and the park is right on a small lake. We enjoyed the carnival, small-town feel of the park, but most of the clientele left something to be desired. Let's just say there were lots of tattoos and smoking.

We had dinner, which consisted of mac and cheese and chicken nuggets. I just ate what the kids didn't eat. That all came to around $16.50-with a soda for Rich. The kids meals do come with Quassy frisbees, which is an added bonus. Although, I got tired of carrying them around!

Rich got several 50 cent hot dogs for himself. The park wasn't too crowded, but we did have to wait for the hot dogs (and later, cotton candy) and for some of the rides. They didn't have enough staff and some of the rides were handled by one person, which meant they took turns running the different rides.

Later we got the 25 cent cotton candy-5 bags per family, which we did take advantage of. Ugh-I ate two whole bags before we got home. Rich had fried dough and Lola had a lollipop. Rich said the dough wasn't that good.

Overall, it was a pleasant experience and we would do it again. We did spend about $40 for the night (including $5 for parking), but have about $3 left in tickets to use another Friday night. The worst part was getting home so late and having hungry kids that had napped either going or coming and then getting them to bed. Lola was in bed by 10:45. Hopefully they'll both sleep in tomorrow!

The weather was great, you got out of town. What fun! Maybe I'll see you at one of the events in town!
