After the bumper cars it was time to meet Scooby Doo and go to lunch.
When we went to lunch, which was provided by Mike's company there was a raffle set up in the shelter. Since, everything that we had done so far was free, including lunch, and provided to us by the company, we really felt almost obligated to by raffle tickets. But, with over 750 people in attendance and most of them buying the 5 for $20 ticket bundle, we didn't anticipate getting much from it. They were raffling off backpacks, cash prizes, hotel stays and...tickets to the 500. After so many numbers had been called, and many quite close to our numbers, 9258-9262, we finally just let B play with the tickets. Then when the 500 tickets were being raffled off, we heard it 9...2...6...0! "That's us!" I calmly said to Mike who jumped up.
"Where are the tickets?" he exclaimed.
"Over there underneath that picnic table." I said trying to point but couldn't because I was feeding the baby. (Anna had long ago lost interest in playing with them.) Once he located them he took them up to claim our prize! I'm able to get out of work and we're going to the 500this weekend. I've never even been!
After this excitement we walked around the park where Mike and I rode a couple of rides alone while the other watched the babies. Anna and I rode on the log ride that does a big drop and Anna really enjoyed it.
