Keeping with doing all the things we say "One day we should....." We decided to check another thing off our list and go to Lakeside Amusement Park. Both Jared and I have been before but it's been several years for both of us. It costs us $2.50 each to get in and then we decided to buy ride tickets instead of an unlimited pass because it's not much fun going on rides by yourself.
Not quite the Matterhorn Jared wanted to ride but it didn't take driving thru five states to get to it. 
The churros we only $1.50!!!
Joseph enjoyed all the little kid rides and he got to ride most of them for free since no one really knew if he needed tickets or not since he was under two. Only one ride operator made us pay. Not too bad we paid 50 cents for 6 0r 7 rides. Not quite as good as the penny horse at King Soopers but still a great deal.
I love that Joseph has the gun pointing towards himself. I tried to fix it but Joseph told me "NO!!" and turned the gun back around.
Jared and I both rode the Wild Chipmunk then the three of us rode the train which goes all the way around the lake. The train was fun except if started sprinkling as we left the station and was pouring by the time we made it back to the station. We all ended up soaked. We tried to wait out the rain be gave up after 30 minutes or so. It finally stopped raining as we were leaving but we didn't feel like unloading and going back. The bonus is they gave us rain checks when we left so we can go back another day for more fun. Anyone want to join us?
Overall I'd say we enjoyed Lakeside and found it more enjoyable than Eliches and it's tons cheaper and has no crowds.
Trying to wait out the rain
After we got rained out we decided to find some authentic mexican. Our only criteria was it had to look ghetto. We hit a payday when we found Los Carboncitos and it got bonus points for sharing a parking lot with a mexican market.
I tried a chicken, steak, and pork taco and all three were excellent. For those daring enough you can have head, tripa, or tongue tacos. Jared had milanesa and said it was a great reminder of the mission. Best of all they had flan!!

I can't believe that place is still open. I drove by there the other day and it IS ghetto. Glad to here it is fun though. :)
Where is this place?? It looks like fun, though definitely no DLand. :)
