Everland was busy today. We bought tickets 15 minutes after we they opened (note to self Q pass next time) and still could not get reservations for the main attractions. Not a lot of time for pictures but a few below.

Cable cars to the arcade for some air hockey to ice cream to the huge jungle gym to the popping chairs to pizza for lunch to the flying elephants to German Village for a churro and an adult beverage (where 2 people dropped their ice cream cones) to the block playground to talking parrots, chimpanzees and baboons to tiger feeding time to the ski lift to sugar covered strawberries and then an up-and-down bus ride to a different ski lift and back then on the bus to the parking lot.

That’s it in the nutshell. Mason and I picked the swinging chimps as our highlight (but I really think he liked the talking parrots best).

We were Garfield themed, courtesy of Dunkin Donuts. My friend Paul, who actually runs a school for kids this aged, came by to lend his support for the festivities. Mason invited the boys from his kindergarten class, and they were a handful. I have never seen so many Legos given to anyone in my life, but Mason’s favorite gift was the one from his Mom and I ­– a nerf gun.

HK prepared tons of food and I worked pretty hard on the gift bags, filled with rubber band guns, sticky hands, cameraman figures and other toys. We made our way to the badminton court to play some water balloon games and corn hole, but mainly the kids played with the rubber band guns. At the playground we played monster and only one kid cried (as a result of a traffic jam on the rope walk). But he recovered quickly.

Overall – awesome experience – can’t help but give HK and I pats on the back.
