Today, we got a refill on our rabbit's eye drops. Not that she's nearly out, but, her prescription expires in May. It ought to be easy to get her prescription refilled, once she has a routine checkup. But when is there going to be such a thing as a routine checkup? So this will buy us a couple of months at least, and then hope that they've figured out some way to handle routine checkups.
Back to happier things, which is to say, Kennywood.
One of the Thunderbolt rabbits gets onto the mulch and examines slightly higher flowers.
The rabbit takes a moment to sack out surrounded by flowers and maybe watching us in the queue for Thunderbolt.
One of the Thunderbolt rabbits takes the quick way down.
The Thunderbolt rabbits pondering the situation.
And one last, slightly closer, look at the Thunderbolt rabbits. We didn't see them after our ride was done.
Ooh, a cryptic but surely meaningful sign in the Thunderbolt station.
The inexplicably named Lucky Stand, selling ice cream, with the lift hill for Phantom's Revenge in the background.
Approaching the Turtle ride I found this moment, where a leg of Phantom's Revenge (in turquoise) and the back of the Turtle ride sign (gunmetal grey) are nicely not-quite-symmetric. Thunderbolt is in the background.
The Turtle ride, looking out in the distance over the river valley; there's steel mills way out there somewhere. And, of course, one steel and one wooden roller coaster.
Phantom's Revenge train going by, overhead, from the Turtle.
And another look at the lovely network of wires and switches for the Turtle ride sign.
The entrance to Lost Kennywood, Kennywood's area themed to the early-20th-century Luna Park, because it's really gorgeous in that way early-20th-century parks were. Note the circa 1904 spelling of 'Pittsburgh'.
