Elitches was nice enough to give us 4 passes to the park to see Choo Choo Soul on Saturday. Even though the kids had been before, it was my first time there. DH grew up in Lakewood, CO and had spent many a summer at their old location, but he’d never been to the current location either. We packed up the kids and the sunscreen and headed out the door!

When we got to the park we found out they had also given us 4 ride passes! These are great! You get to go up the exit and be the next in line for the ride. We used them for Disaster Canyon about 5 or 6 times. That was Tbone’s favorite ride. We also hit the Twister II, a super old, super squeaky roller coaster! T and I had a blast on that one. Next was Cartman’s choice. He’s still a little nervous of the roller coasters so he pretty much stuck to the kiddie area. We did get him on the Tilt-a-whirl, which he loved last year with his Uncles, but this time i seriously thought he was going to hurl all over me. After that he went with tamer rides like the teacups and airplanes. We even got Chewy on the teacups and semi truck ride before he hurled everywhere (more on that in a bit).

Cartman had Daddy ride the trucks with him too. I’m sure he was thrilled about trying to fit in there!

I tried to convince T to ride the Half Pipe, Boomerang or Mind Eraser with me, but he said “No Way!” I’m sure if his friends were there and wanted to ride those he would have braved them, but he didn’t have to pretend not to be scared around just his Mom.

By now Chewy was getting hungry so I stopped and got him some fries. No big deal, it’s one of the only things he can eat with his multiple food allergies. Only, I didn’t read the JUMBO sign right in front of my face that read “Warning: Fries are cooked in Peanut Oil”. (You can tell where this is going can’t you?!) So he’s chewing away on them and starts to gag, but that’s not uncommon for him with food. We take the fries away from him thinking they are too thick and go on to the concert! The older boys didn’t want to go to the show (even though they know ALL the words to ALL the songs AND I’m pretty sure T has a crush on Genevieve) so they took Dad to go find some slushies and play arcade style games. Chewy and I went in and he was all excited for all the kids dancing and the loud music! I was excited for DC, the super cute DJ guy! *wink wink*

The show started and all the kids were loving it! Everyone was excited to learn that they are coming back to Disney and recording new music! DC was breakdancing and even joined the crowd to dance with the kids. Later on, he pulled some kids (and an unsuspecting dad) onto the stage to show of their moves! The crowd was loving it! Unfortunately, that’s when Chewy decided to throw up all over himself, the stroller and the ground. I thought he was choking on another piece of french fry and took him to the bathroom to get cleaned up. We missed the last couple songs of the concert and I was bummed. After I got Chewy cleaned up, we met back up with the older boys and DH and headed for a couple last rides. Chewy, Cartman and I were headed to take on the Ferris Wheel, while DH and Tbone rode Disaster Canyon a few hundred more times. While in line for the Ferris Wheel Chewy started gagging and throwing up again! I called DH to have him meet me by the exit and see what was going on. That’s when it hit us both. The Peanut Oil! D’uh! He wasn’t previously noted as being allergic to peanuts, but this pretty much made us realize that he is!

We hit the gift shops on the way out (’cause ya’ll know I can’t pass up a good gift shop!!) and carried our kids, giant stuffed turtles, dogs and dino’s to the car. Man were we tired! All in all, besides the vomit comet known as Chewy, we all had a blast! The weather was perfect, the crowds were too insane (as long as we had those ride passes!) and the concert was super fun! The kids are already asking when they can go back!
