GKTW Day 1 Part 3

The kids were looking forward to playing the worlds largest candy land game!! The "board" went around Mathew's Boundless Playground. It was pretty large! BUT the rains would not stop! So unfortunately it was cancelled ( a theme that would be seen throughout our stay). Instead they had games inside we could play and the kids answered questions about candy to earn candy. Trev was not interested and so the boys went to check out the arcade and the girls went inside to play games. It was pretty crowded and the girls were overwhelmed... They did settle in eventually and played the games. Mommy had to help with all the answers as they are only 4. Trev came to join us after the arcade and he too played games and they all got way too much candy! (We were going to make sure to be somewhere else during Halloween night that week)


Mathew's Boundless Playground


Amberville Train Station/Arcade





This is the dino that scared Allie during putt putt golf!

It was still sprinkling so we hopped on the train and explored more of the village that way! We all then headed over to the arcade. Allie, Trevor and Scott went to play mini golf. Allie was terrified of the dino!! Kara, Grandpa and I rode the little train. Of course Kara wanted to sit in the undercover area... It was a tight squeeze but we made it in! The kids played games and rode in the stationary cars. It was finally time to head home we had a LOOOONG night with very little sleep! It started to rain harder on the way back to our villa. By the time we got to our villa it was pouring!! So much for this 30 minute down pour everyone had warned us about! As soon as we got inside we heard a loud BOOM! Thunder and Lightening galore!! It was the strongest thunderstorm I had ever witnessed! It let on for over an hour! The rain lasted all night and the sidewalk to our villa was flooded. (It stayed that way all week). It had rained a couple inches that night! The kids were SO tired they fell asleep by 9:15! That never happens at home I followed shortly and was asleep by 10... That never happens either! Tomorrow Sea World!!
