I weigh 455,784,006 insects. Maybe? I love the scale in the insect house, but bugs creep me out. Ever get that feeling that there are ants all over you? Boy, does that really burn my toast.

Fesitval of lights is always fun. Not really into the "Frozen" theme. The smores come in a pack, the marshmallows were stale :(

This is THE place to go if you want overpriced Skyline Chili. They've now replaced their only decent dining option with yet another Skyline.
