It's vacation season. One of the places that we look forward to visiting every year is Knobels. This is year the Flying Turns roller coaster is running. It was 7 years in the making. Here's a tip for this or any other amusement park.

Last year, I took the girls (Riley/Tara) and their friends. Tara had her one flip flop bust in the first hour there. I tried to fix it with string....Silly Daddy. So I came up with this idea next. Lets buy her new ones.

I thought the problem was solved until one of the new flip flops started bothering her.  I was lucky, the flip flop that was bugging her could be replaced with the old flip flop that wasn't busted.

I'm told that's the way kids like to wear them these days (along with mix matched socks.)  So she looked fashionable and I told everyone that I got them for her that way.

One little piece of advice: If you're going anywhere that requires a lot of walking, take extra footwear. I also learned to take an umbrella. I looked like I went on the Skloosh water ride several times.

That's something else I learned. It's called "Skloosh" not "Sploosh."
