Chapter 5: A Day at Kennywood Park
The next day, I met Sarah, James, and Henri, as well as some of my other best friends, Alex Russo, Justin Evans, and Max Greenwald at Kennywood Park. "Hi, guys!" I greeted my friends. "Hi, Angel!" Sarah greeted back. "You're just in time to ride some roller coasters with us," Alex told us. "Can we start with my favorite roller coaster first?" Justin asked. "No, let's start with Alex's," Max stated. "My favorite roller coaster doesn't work this year." First, I rode the Thunderbolt with Alex and the Phantom's Revenge with Justin. "We're going to Jim's Famous Sauce after Kennywood, so we will not get much food this year," Alex told us. I got a chocolate chip cookie, Alex got a Dippin' Dots sundae, Justin got Potato Patch fries, and Max got a corn dog. Then, I decided to ride the Pittsburg Plunge with Max. Soon, Sarah, James, and Henri joined us after they ate lunch at the Parkside Cafe. I rode more rides with everyone, including the Whip with Henri, the Jack Rabbit with James, and the Racer with Sarah. "Why are you going to Jim's Famous Sauce tonight, Alex?" Sarah asked. "Well, Sarah," Alex replied, "it's not too far away from here, and their food is really good." "Because I was hoping that we would go somewhere in Station Square for dinner, especially since the food at the Parkside Cafe reminded me of Angel's birthday dinner," Sarah explained. "What was it again?" Alex asked. "I forget." "It was chicken parmesan, Caesar salad, and a birthday sundae," I reminded Alex. "Do you like coming to Kennywood, Justin?" James asked. "Of course I do, James," Justin replied. "I especially liked coming here for a 1-year reunion before Angel started college at Edinboro University." "We went to college near each other in Erie," I pointed out. "Max, I am so sad that the Log Jammer is no more," Henri admitted in a sad tone of voice. "I know how you feel, Henri," Max sympathized. "I miss riding on the Sky Rocket this year." After we rode other rides, including the Wave Swinger, the Swing Shot, the Music Express, and the Aero 360, we all went to Jim's Famous Sauce for dinner. Sarah and Alex both got chicken fingers, James and Justin both got cheeseburgers, and Henri, Max, and I all got hot dogs. After dinner was over, Sarah, James, and Henri drove me back to my mom's apartment in Highland Park. "Thanks for a great day, everyone!" I thanked my friends. "You're welcome, Angel," Sarah replied. "Bye, guys!" "Bye!"
