Like I said, Kaitlyn and I went to Canada's Wonderland. This is an annual trip the band takes each year. It's sort of like a reward for such a great year. They do play for an adjudicator and get critiqued but do not receive any awards. It's more for fun and to learn.
We started off our day on the Pshyclone. It swings like a pendulum and where you sit turns also. It gets all the way up to a 90 degree angle. My daredevil daughter went on it 3 times. I could barley handle once!
The swings were more my speed after that scary ride. I remember riding the swings at the Kitsap County Fair. Loved them!
Delaney and Kaitlyn are off on one of the old wooden roller coasters. It was quite a ride. Very rough but cool to say I rode a wooden coaster.
We ended our morning with an epic ( as Kaitlyn would say ) merry go round ride. Here is Don ( Delaney's dad ) with our group. Lance, Claire, McKenzie, Delaney, Kaitlyn and Lori. ( Lori's dad was with us also but not in the picture )
Lunch time! That's the cool bus we got to ride in to Toronto where the park is located. I tell you this is the way to travel!
All the kids getting ready to go play.
Not the best picture of the whole band but you get the idea. Mrs. VanVeghal is THE BEST music teacher! She does some amazing things with these kids and the band just loves her!
Then it was back at it. We went on a bunch more rides. We ended the day on the Behemoth roller coaster. This is the longest, tallest roller coaster in North America. I almost didn't go on it because I was getting SO freaked out looking at it all day. But then I figured I better because if I don't I'll regret it. You have to check this thing out. If you want to YOU TUBE it and there is a video that someone took from the front seat. That first drop is 320 feet straight down!
It was a very fun day and I'm so glad I got the chance to go.
