It was a bright Wednesday afternoon when our friends arrived.
We decided that a trip to World of Fun would be the perfect way to enjoy and exchange stories.
So without hesitation, we went to the amusement center.
As we entered, the sounds of cheerful music and laughter echoed.
We then headed to the basketball arcade game.
The bright light of the machine beckoned us, teasing a friendly rivalry.
We each took turns stepping up the hoop, determined to outscore one another.
The first round was full of laughs and playful trash talk as we tried to get the ball into the hoop as many times as possible within the time limit.
I managed to sink a few shots, but my friend was quick with some impressive shots of their own, earning a high score that nearly matched the machine's record.
As a reward for our effort and sportsmanship, we've got some tickets. 🤭
Not to be outdone, I challenged them to a rematch, with one condition, the winner gets a small prize of their choice.
The crowd around us cheered as we juggled between shots trying to beat each other's scores.
The game was close.
In the end, it was a tie!
Despite the friendly competition, we agreed that winning or losing was secondary to shared fun.
We then approached the ticket booth nearby, and the cheerful attendant greeted us with a smile.
He asked how many tickets we had earned.
We proudly counted our tickets — thanks to our scores, we had accumulated a decent handful!
With eager anticipation, we browsed the variety of prizes — colorful stuffed animals, novelty toys, and even fun accessories.
We decided to pool our tickets together for a special prize, some small but memorable mementos of our day.
While selecting our prizes, our eyes landed on the candy section.
We couldn't resist the appeal of sweet treats. 🥰
We carefully selected our favorite candies, and with big smiles, we walked away with our sugary prizes.
It was a perfect ending to an already fantastic day at World of Fun!
Until our next arcade match... Buh-bye. 👋😍
