Christmas as it was meant
Because nothing says Christmas like Sea Lion Show or Dondi the Elephant, we are going out with friends tonight to Santa’s Enchanted Forest! Carnies! Obnoxious teenagers! Fried food! Tilt-a-Whirl! and how could we pass up Wayne Francis: Puppeteer and Ventriliquist?
SANTA ROCKS!!

Sweet! Please give a full report - I’ve been curious to go there for years. I know it’s Christmas when I have the song from the commercial stuck in my head for no reason.
Fried food + Tilt-a-Whirl = Disaster waiting to happen
As we all stumbled off the Gravitron a woozy 11 year girl in front of us had all her fried food come quickly back up. We were laughing so hard we all had to sit down. The girl just stopped, hurled all over the sidewalk, said “I told you that was gonna happen”, then got in line for the next ride.
Diane I highly recommend this experience. Words and pictures do not do it justice. Of course for $22 I would probably think differently. We all got in for free because a friend of ours works there every year for extra cash and let us in.
Sadly, the Sea Lion show and Elephant were nowhere to be seen. Apparently they are weekend (or earlier in the night) shows. I did get to see a monkey but declined to pay the $1 fee to shake its hand. I’ve learned from Roby to not touch the animals.
On the way out as they were closing everything up, KC and Chad haggled with all the food vendors to get closeout deals. We ended up with 4 huge churros and 8 big bags of cotton candy for little money. Overall, a wonderfully trashy night out.
Overheard snark as we got off one spinning ride: “And that’s the story of baby Jesus.”
Ah, Christmas.
