My birthday is on the 27th and since I will be in Wisconsin for Memorial weekend and my actual birthday is on a Tuesday I thought that Saturday May 31st would be an excellent day for a birthday.
So the plan is this:
ValleyFair
May 31st 10AM
Bring a dish to share and eat in Picnic Cove (ARRRRRR!!!) because I know that more than just me are cheap bastards.
Kids are welcome, mine will be there!
and if it's super nice out the WaterPark is open by then too!
Whooooooooooooooooooo Hooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!! I will be there!!!!!! I LOVE Valleyfair!!!!! Can't wait!!!! ;D
See you soon!
xoxo,
Muffin
DOH!
I'm shooting a wedding that day..... :P
Actual sniper work DB or otherwise? :D
I have a wedding to go to. :(
Valley Fair sounds like fun. Have a great time!
I already responded on Live Journal but I thought I would here to. I don't think my leg will be healed enough to make Valley Fair. I hope you all have fun.
I have a wedding to go to also. Annnnnnnnnnnnnd the boy has an audition for Vil that day as well, so either way, I am booked.
Happy Birthday in advance, Nes.
Mmmm!!! I'll have to make sure I'm not busy for this one! Maybe I'll be able to get there!
Keeping the calendar open...wide open :-)
I will be out at OWRF/Twig grounds that day plus the older I get the more the rides make me iller but I hope u have a blast!!
Darn! I really want to get out to Valley Fair sometime... but like so many others apparently I have a wedding to be at that day... in Winona! Blast! Perhaps next time
It's been ages since I've been out there...maybe 17 years.
Sounds like a total blast! If I can get it off, and carpool with Willum, thatd be great! Funnel cakes here we come!
It sounds pretty sweet. Checking my calender!

I have a bunch of those subway coupons for $10 off.
I work but I'm trying to get Jenn to go and have some fun on her own with you guys. She needs some "adult" time with being around kinds all the time. We are going June 23rd for her Bday so the kids can wait and go then.
I used to be able to get them through work too but not sure on the prices, won't be going anyways.
To bad, we could have used the gimp in a wheel chair factor to get everyone to the front of the line for the ride....lol....
We'll be dead tired but Lukasz and I should make it down still.
I'm dressing up pirate style friday night and chaparoning an all night grad party for my youngest brother... Lukasz works until 6am sat morn... then we head down!
FUNNEL CAKES.... HERE I COME!!!
I think Jenn is going to go so if anyone has an extra coupon that would be great. Casey is babysitting. Im sleeping. Have fun!!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!
Reminder, this Saturday!!! you know you wanna!!!
We are back and ready to go!!!! ;D

I totally passed out maybe 10 minutes after walking in the door last night. Tanner had to carry and put me to bed.
So worth it though.

OK i just checked on this i can get pretty much as many of these as I want. So for the low low price of 22.50 who wants em,
Lets get a list together so I can get these purchased. Also for those of you who are driving if you wan the reduce parking rate i'll need to know that as well.
So far I've got:
Myself & Synn
Harem_Pant (2)
Willum (2)
Muffin & Capt (2)
Capt. B and I have also accumulated a bunch of coupons for $10 off. Which brings it to 26.95.
::EDIT:: However Tanner and I will gladly take 2 tickets at the super duper cheap price. Can I write you a check that you would be so kind as to not cash until the following Friday? *grin* paycheck to paycheck sucks ballz
Lukasz and I were going to get some $10 dollar off coupons for when we got there. I have no clue what time we'll be down.
Do we have a set time we all want to meet there? Are we meeting at the gates or in the lot?
Don't know what you've gotta do with those tickets Toarmod but I could get 2 of them from you at some point?!

I wish that I could, but as I don't get paid till the following Friday and I'll have to "front" the cash for these I'd appreciated payment on Sat or poor Toar shall be broke'ed (paycheck to paycheck does suck :))

Yup I'll be pickin them up as soon as i get a final count! (hopefully tomorrow)
Willum does bring up a good point should we meet somewhere other than the VF (i.e. Grab some breakfast, hand out tickets/ parking passes.
Which segways to another point "parking passes". Please let me know if you need those as well!
You save a dollar on parking passes thorugh your work? 10 at the gate and 9 from you?

Yup.
I was just assuming you not have to worry about parking passes.... considering its not a HUGE money saver. $1 dollar...

True dat! It would be a lil' easier if i didn't have to "front" those. But as I already threw it out there I didn't want to not offer. :P Also, that would make it so we didnt have to meet outside of the parking lot.
So ya, everyone blame Willlum fer the extra buck you'll have to pay fer parking! ;D
I'll for-go the parking so you don't have to worry about that. But If you can get them, Lukasz and I will both take tickets from you. And we can pay you back right away before you give them to us! That'd be great. If something comes up and you're not able to get us the tickets we'll also be bringing some of the $10 off coupons we can use at the gate.
I would assume that Capt, Muffin, Tanner and myself will probably ride together. So there is that.
And *sigh* I can give you cash on Saturday. *wince wince cringe*
*mutters to self* I'm saving money I'm saving money I'm saving money...
What time are you all planning to get there? I have something wrenched into the middle of the day...so if you get there at opening and stay til closing...then having fun will be not a problem...except that 4 hour gap where I have practice...on a friggin saturday!
I will be there at opening and stay until I just can't stand it anymore and since Avalon will not be joining me (per her father's "request") I will probably be there pretty late.
I am sorry I will not be there. I know Steve and I talked about it, but some stuff has come up and I just can't swing it. Ride a fast and scary ride for me.
ok. I'm in. Will have to leave and then come back later on!

Booooooo!!!! :'(
Still... Can't wait!!! Are we there yet? ;D
Okies, got tickets! All set on this end. Should prolly work out some stuff on times and such. I'm thinkin we should meet fer breakfast at Perkins@ 8:30-9:00 (about 3 miles past VF off 101). Lemme know what ya think?
I'd be down with that.
Although you all will have to deal with me in all my plague ridden glory.
Yep...the dreaded yuck is going around again.
BOOO!
I don't think we'll do breakfast... eating before rollercoasters = bad idea!!! But we could meet everyone up by the front gates or anywhere else!
actually you are likely to be more nauseous if you don't eat anything as opposed to a light meal.
At least that is what they tell astronauts.
Woo! 10pm-6am overnights tonight, then Valleyfair!!! I dub it all of yours(proper grammar?) duty to make sure I stay awake!! Hah!
Ok I think since only one person was interested in breakfast that the meet up will occur at the gates at roughly 10 AM. I will be there a mite early because I'm just that way.
It might rain tomorrow so bring an umbrella or something similar to keep rain off you. HOWEVER the high is supposed to be somewhere around 80 and with the chance of storms brings humidity, I for one will be bringing my suit for the possibility of Waterpark goodness.
Bring a food item to share at the lunch in Picnic Cove. I will be bringing hot dogs and buns.
I am going to retire to my couch and will my cold to piss off.
See everyone tomorrow morning!!!!
okay... Meeting at 10.. Front Gate.. got it!!
We will have swim suits with as well! whoooo hooooo!!!
I'm bringing brats and buns, and some chips and some other goodies.. ;D
xoxo,
Muffin
Synn and I aren't interested in the water park but we'll figure out sumthin fer the picnic.
We'll see ya at the gates @ 10! ;D
*Green with Envy*
It's freaking GORGEOUS out! Awesome day for the park, and here I sit at the computer between the wedding and the reception. Man I wish I could be in two places at once!
I'm glad you all had such a beautiful day for your time outside playing.
*Edit Add* Doh, hope I didn't jinx it. I hear the thunder rolling in now. :o
Beautiful day. Bummed we had to leave it early but my puppy's bladder can only hold it so long. Anyways, never did see any storm clouds down there, however, on our way home saw the dark skies to the north.
Thanks to Muffin, Bacardi, Lily, Willum, Lukasz, Nessa and Tanner for a fun day!!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
Lots of exercise and fresh air (and cake!)...must go crash now.
Yep it was a great time other than my brief freakout when Tanner went missing for like an hour and a half.
It's my birthday and I'll cry if I want to dangnubbit.
The cake was phenomenal and the rides were fun although after having a baby for some reason I am like super sensitive to motion now. So I think this will be the last time I ride rides..until Avalon makes me.
Mommy Mommy!!! I want to ride the TILLAWURL!!
*blech*
Happy to be home, in bed, nap was great. All in all a great day.
Haha, sooo slept from like...9pm-7am! Thanks guys for the awesome time! Me and Willum just missed the rain when we left. Heard yall got rained on in the go-karts!
What a fun day!!!!!!! ;D
Yup Lil, me and Bacardi got rained on in the go carts.. and when I say rain, I mean it POURED!!!! but we got our money back so it was all good... (and hey we went around a few times and it was already 7:45 pm)
When Bacardi and I got home this is what we saw.. that white stuff isn't snow kids.. it's hail!!!

and it still looks this way this morning...
(http://i249.photobucket.com/albums/gg209/Muffinhny/IMG_2927.jpg)
YIKES...
That looks terrible Muffin! Hope you guys didn't get anything damaged by the hail!
I don't think we got any hail here in Lakeville.
Gin and I were on the road when this went down. We were driving up 169 from Kato and got caught by the leading edge of a big arse thunder boomer. It seriously went from light out to dark in and instant. It was kinda surreal watching it develop. We could tell quite a ways off that we were probably going to drive into it. We could see the clouds and all the rain off in the distance. Wish we had our camera with. Would have made for some good pics.
Anyway, We got tagged outside of Belle Plaine , then again between Jordan and Shakopee. There was plenty of lightning all around and when the skies opened up they opened up! Heavy rains! and not just heavy, but those large drops too. We could barely see the road in front of us. Luckily the rain didn't last long. It was the leading edge and we just got barely nipped by it as they bulk of the storm passed behind us. I would not have wanted to be on that road 15 minutes latter. I bet things really suxed then!
Wow got hail in Belle Plaine but nothing like Bacardi & Muffin.
We got all of this in about 30 seconds then it was gone in about 30 more when the rain started.
