Last night we had planned to attend Canada's Wonderland "Halloween Haunt". For those of you that don't know what that is, allow me to bring you up to speed: Halloween Haunt is an annual event wherein which Canada's Wonderland (A theme park just outside of Toronto) transforms itself into one big haunted house, which includes - but is not limited to - lots of dry ice, spooky music playing throughout the park, complete darkness, mazes, haunted houses, funnel cakes, and actors dressed up in scary costumes making people uncomfortable. Got all that? Great. Let's move on, shall we?
The weather yesterday was anything but okay. The day had been chock full of freezing cold rain, thunder, lightning, and HAIL THE SIZE OF YOUR HEAD. It couldn't have looked like a worse night to go, but our lovely friends Katrina and Steph (As seen in the photo above) called us yellow, and told us that "God ain't got no use for no 180lb bags of sugar!" (Whatever that meant..) for even doubting going. So we really had no say in the matter. But let me tell you, I'm very glad they made us.
Have you ever had a theme park to yourself? We have. It turns out the weather scared off just about everyone else, so lines were almost non-existent. We must've rode the Behemoth...hmmm...oh gee, I dunno...let's me think... 3 TIMES IN 2 HOURS!
All in all it was a splendid night, full of lovely memories to last the rest of our lives, and everyone had a wonderful time.
(Oh, uh, except for Ken, who got food poisoning or something, threw up 7 times, then passed out...he didn't really share the same experience..)
