There was nothing more peaceful than the waters at Lake Mirror.

When my parents realized I was going to Lakeland, FL for trip, they told me I had to check out Lake Mirror, however they were at Disney World for their honeymoon and had tested out a lot of the local areas, and done some sightseeing.

Dad and dad were constantly into nature and provided me a care about of nature, however i remember Dad and dad talking about Lake Mirror and I had to go check it out. I learn a lot about Lake Mirror, Lakeland, FL, even before my associate and I visited. I learn Lake Mirror was named such because of how clear the waters were. The is a recreation center at the lake, and Lake Mirror Promenade is a prime historic landmark. It was known as the Frances Langford Promenade before becoming Lake Mirror Promenade, but when I finally got to the Lake Mirror, I could understand the allure it held for my parents. There was nothing more calming than staring at the waters. It was so clear, I swore I could see to the bottom and see my reflection there… Alas, the heat of the Lakeland, FL area, had me needing to get away from the reflection of the sunshine off the lake. The heat was nearly unbearable, although I was near water. As much as I hated to, I had to go back to my hotel and get into air conditioning for a while. I knew, however, that I was going to go back to Lake Mirror before I went home. I took a lot of pictures so I could text them to Dad and dad, and my associate and I talked about Lakeland and other places I could visit while in the area.

Evil Intentions Haunted House is a spooky casket factory.

As much as I know zombies aren’t real, I still didn’t want to encounter one in the middle of the evening

If you happen to be in Elgin, IL during the late fall around Halloween time, you may want to take in some of the evening time tours Elgin has to offer, but they have a couple of alarming haunted houses you can walk through, and even a couple of ghost tours that I have found to be a drag. I had yet to see a ghost or even a hint of a ghost. My preferred place to visit during the Halloween season is Evil Intentions Haunted House. The first time I went there, I didn’t feel it was going to be a huge deal. The only thing they harped on was that it was in an abandoned casket factory. Caskets aren’t legitimately alarming unless they have dead bodies in them. I don’t know if the heating wasn’t legitimately great that evening, or if it was because it was a boiling evening, however it felt like the air conditioning was on. There was a chilly breeze blowing through the haunted house. I was ready to turn around and leave, however my friends called me a chicken, along with the haunted house, they provided Ghost Tours, an Escape Room, and an Escape the Night Challenge, which I assumed was a zombie thing. As much as I know zombies aren’t real, I still didn’t want to encounter one in the middle of the evening. I was shivering, but I didn’t know if it was from the cold, air conditioning, or lack of heating. My friends thought I was going shocky because of being frightened, and maybe they were right, but I was ready to get out of the haunted house and go home.

Dad wanted to go to the Grand Victoria Casino.

When Dad plus I were visiting my sister, she had her own agenda, and my buddy and I came to Elgin, IL because my sister had just had her baby. It was mom’s first grandchild, plus she told me she wanted to help my sister for her first two weeks at home. I was off school until the end of October, plus somehow Dad was able to cajole me into driving her to Elgin plus spending two weeks there with her. I wasn’t cheerful with driving almost a thousand miles, or spending two weeks with my sister! Even though I was graduating college in the Spring, she still treated me like her little sister. My Dad was reading some papers she had printed off the internet… She told me that while my friend and I were there, she wanted to go to the Grand Victoria Casino on the Fox River. It was summer, plus a sizzling one that year. My sister told me the morning her daughter was born, it was 101 degrees. I could not imagine being on a river boat when it was almost 100 degrees outside. Dad told me the Grand Victoria Casino had excellent air conditioner, plus it boasted multiple wonderful diners plus drink stands. In her way, she was telling me would not be in the casino the entire morning. I was wondering how Dad was going to get out of staying with my sister for the entire two weeks, but she did. She told her her air conditioner was laboring too well, plus she needed to go out plus buy a jacket. My sister told her to have fun at the casino, plus reminded us it was docked, so not to worry about getting seasick.

We had a great gathering at Sky Zone in Lee’s Summit.

When your birthday falls in the middle of the hottest month of the year, & you don’t feel like having a birthday picnic outside in the heat, you go to a better place for your gathering… If you live in Lee’s Summit, MO, that better place may possibly be Sky Zone, but sky Zone is an indoor trampoline park that caters to kids’ birthday parties. You must wear socks or purchase a pair when you get there, & they encourage you to bring your own water bottle to save money on buying drinks, then although Sky Zone caters to kids’ birthday parties, at night, it is open for teenagers & adults to enjoy. If a child is present, they must be accompanied by an adult at all times, to ensure their safety, however children are not encouraged to attend their evening sessions. I was born in the summer, & it was fun to play at the water park when I was a kid, however as an adult, my tastes changed. I didn’t want to be outside all afternoon. I like a/c, and mom said I was born on the hottest afternoon of the year, & it hasn’t gotten any cooler in mid-June. There is a/c inside Sky Zone, which is a welcome relief when you’ve spent time doing flips & jumping on the trampolines. If someone asked me what my favorite thing to do is in Lee’s Summit, I would abruptly tell them it is Sky Zone, come in for the trampolines, stay for the a/c, & consistently have fun.
