We’ve recovered from Day 3 of our vacation. We spent 9 hours at Silver Dollar City. The first 6 hours or so was in the rain, but it turned out well because it kept most of the crowd away. This allowed us to stay on a ride and ride as many times as we wanted without any lines. On the first ride, Thunderation, we ran into a little stag — Alex was an 1/8 of an inch too short. While Alex waited, we devised a plan. We stuffed his shoes with anything we could find. We rode a few more rides — Flooded Mine, the Train, Wild Fire, Fire in the Hole, American Plunge and the Lost River and then we took him back to Thunderation to try again. This time when they measured him he passed!! Alex LOVED the roller coaster, so we decided to try a bigger coaster — Powder Keg. This one was a little too much for him, and he didn’t like it near as much. In all, I think the final score was: Fire in the Hole 6 times, Flooded Mine 6 times, American Plunge 2 times, Wild Fire 5 times, Lost River of the Ozarks 3 times and the train twice. I was water logged. We grabbed some Mazzio’s for dinner and go to bed early. We’re not sure what is in store for today.

Audrey captured the video below on our third round of the Lost River of the Ozarks. As always, obnoxious Dave is screaming, “We’re going into the Belly of the Beast” as we head into the tunnel. Oh my.
