Late last Saturday afternoon Mrs. Chef, Toddler Chef, and I went to PKI. We met our friends Kim and Ken there. I introduced this couple to each other at PKI over 2 years ago. They started dating, got engaged at the park - and got married last year.

First all 5 of us visited Hanna-Barbera land and Nickeloden Central. Then we rode the Kings Island Miami Valley Railroad to the Pumpkin Patch. Toddler Chef (who is now 1.5 years - hence no longer Baby Chef) ran around in the hay and played with the pumpkins. I was so proud of him. Then we walked around some more and renewed our season passes together as a group.

Then Mrs. & Toddler Chef went home. Thereafter Kim, Ken, & I rode The Beast, Adventure Express, experienced the CornStalkers Maze, ate dinner at Skyline Chili, rode Elvira's SuperStition - and then went home.

It was a great time. I truly love PKI.

Have a great day!

Nice trip report Chef! Glad to hear you had another fun visit to the park with your son and wife!

You should have just come to Beast Bash.

was it very busy I wanted to take my kids but I had surgery last monday, I'm hoping to take them this weekend, and hoping not to face a real huge crowd

It really wasn't THAT bad, especially considering that FF debuted to the general public that day.

I thought the crowd looked big and the lines were large at times, but everything moved really fast for the crowd. I was impressed with the capacity of everything.

Did you bless any of the facilities with your holy water?

Good god. What's the kids name already?

Yes, I Reverend Charles did bless the park. And my son's name is Nino. Since my parents and I are ministers in the Universal Life Church, odds are my son will one day be a reverend, too.

Have a blessed weekend!
