Hi!
Blare
Gardens
is
awesome!
This
is
best
vacation
we've
ever
gone
on!
I
love
the
rides
here.
I
mean,
I've
been
on
the roller coasters
before,
but
nothing
is
like
the
one
they've
the
got
here!
And
food
is
great
too.
I
usually
don't
eat
the hot dogs,
but
hot dogs
here
are
great.
So
is
pizza.
Do
you
like
the amusement parks?
If
so,
you've
got
to
get
your
family
to
come.
The
only
problem
is
crowds
here.
People have to wait to get into everything - even the restrooms! See you soon.
