After buying a $30 wristband for unlimited rides at the Del Mar Fair, I encounter this roadblock..........
The man at the ride wouldn't let me go on with my arm wrap. No matter my protests that my arm was neither broken nor sprained be wouldn't budge. I told him I would be super careful and promised to refrain from getting too wild on the ride. Between the sad forlorn face of a four year old standing next to me and my relentless begging, he finally conceded. But his face had a look that said "this could cost me my job lady."
What was the ride you ask....the "MileHigher"...."Bungee Jump"....the "Death Drop" ride?

or the Elephant Circus Train?
It may have been my imagination, but I swear it went a couple of mile per hour slower this year.......
After getting turned away from a bunch of rides by operators that didn't have a clue, I finally found out that I needed a medical waver to get on the rides. I was thinking that maybe someone, possibly the guy who initially tried to put the wristband on my wrapped hand, or the guy who sold me the band asking me a million questions about my arm, could have informed me of this. idiots. Nonetheless, we had a great time as usual. We met up with some friends and they took the older kids to the big midway, while my mom and I stayed in the kids area.
We told them we would meet up with them in an hour ......or ten.
So far, we have been Seaworld two times. Possibly heading back again today.....
Fun times.....
Tragic times.......
Hungry times with people who think we live in Siberia.......
Hungry times with people who forgot she gained 25 pounds during chemo......
Memories of a lifetime times.....
"It's good to be back again" times.......
