June 28th, 2008 - It was a nice and clear day to be out at the park, Trece's company that he works for (ACS, Inc.) with it's annual company picnic at Knott's Berry Farm.
I invited some of the family to join me and my family at Knott's for some fun at the amusement park.
Who attended: Trece, Sung, Sammy, Tyler, Virg, Eric, Austin, Marivic, Christian, Christine, Mel and Jacob.
The company provided free food and plenty of entertainment for the kids. During each event ACS gives out prize giveaways, raffled to the employees, grand prize was a laptop; but this year Christine nor I had no luck at all. Oh well!
After the picnic we headed off to the theme park. Kids were excited and I really wanted to go on that tower roller coaster, I think it's called "The Screamer". Most of the time we stayed at the Camp Snoopy area just for the kids. Marivic, Christine and I were able to ride one adult ride, "Montezuma's Revenge". It was an old ride but still worth it.
T-Virg, Eric, Autin, Christine, Mel and Jacob had to go for the day, I think it was around 3:30 or so. The rest of us decided to go on the Rapid water ride, I think it was a 1-1/2 hour wait but I did promise the kids that we'd go on it. So we waited and waited for almost 45 minutes, we get half way to the end of the line and what do you know, the ride breaks down. We gave it 10 to 15 minutes to see if the ride will reopen. No luck at all, this is the second time this happened to me on the same ride. So we get out of the line and Marivic and the kids went off to Camp Snoopy again while Sung and I went for refreshments.
I really wanted to ride that Screamer but by the looks of it, I don't think it was running anymore. It was running earlier during the day, but for some reason it stopped. I told Marivic that it's a sign and I shouldn't take that ride, it never works when I'm here. That ride is the death of me, you'll hear it in our newsletter that Trece died of a heart attack while riding the Screamer. Ahh, I'm not superstitious.
Well, it was almost 6:00 and we wanted to head over to Roy's and Nida's to watch the Pacquiao vs. Diaz fight. Like Diaz said after the fight, that mother f***** is fast, Sh**!! That was too funny.
Anyway, hope all who joined us had fun. Maybe someday we can do an adult theme park day only. Woo-hoo!!
