I don't know if I have ever seen my dad cheese so big! It is usually like pulling teeth to even get a small grin in photos, so seeing him absolutely light up made me smile.

He is so good at this one game that is deceivingly hard (you have to bounce a whiffle ball off of a slanted backboard and into a bucket below) and has won large prizes for years. Most of them have been gifted to kiddos in our family or just random families as we leave the park. This big boy, however, will be forever mine and a reminder of this wholesome moment and beautiful day!

He has been playing and winning the same game for years and I convinced him to try his luck at the jumbo version that he has never quite managed to conquer. Well, we walked out with a 6ft+ 20ish pound stuffed husky and two capybara friends.

He offered a few tips to someone else on how he does it and they ended up winning as well! It is the one where you have to bounce a whiffle ball off the slanted backboard and into a bucket below without knocking sticks off at either end (see behind the proud winner for photo reference).

Anywho, he is who started my love of coasters and years of going even inspired a tattoo mashup of my girl Millenium Force and a local amusement park. It was so cool to bring him back and watch his inner child have so much fun!
