Endgame Viable

Today isn’t really over yet but I suspect that everyone will be too tired to do much else when they get back.

Today featured a surprise guest-appearance from Cynthia’s brother Jeff. Cynthia, Jeff, and the kids went to King’s Dominion about 11AM and I joined them around 2PM (after a series of debacles in getting to the parking lot). Jeff and Dennis (and even Jordan once) rode the big scary rides. I rode the Avalanche, which looked a lot slower than it turned out to be but which was actually pretty fun, and I rode a Big Spinning Swing Thingy, which looked fairly safe but was actually pretty vertigo-inducing. We spent a great deal of time walking and waiting in lines. (I was there about 5 hours, and I spent a grand total of less than 15 minutes actually riding rides. Probably closer to 5 minutes, truthfully.) Anyway, I came back about 7PM with a splitting headache, but Cynthia is staying until the kids wear out.

Tomorrow is the Cousin Camp grand finale, featuring a birthday party for Jordan and a whole bunch of visitors.
