    Baby Loves Disco for 2 little girls would be so fun. Something that makes me laugh is watching them dance around the room and put on “plays” at home :-)

  • Ruth Wilson says:

    We would love 4 tickets (2 adults, 2 kids) for the Super Saturday KidZone! Sounds super-fantastic!

    • Ruth Wilson says:

      2) Lately, it’s been really horrible knock-knock jokes that I laugh at. My five-year-old daughter is trying to develop her sense of humor and she doesn’t quite have it down yet.

  • Denise Downs says:

    I like female comedians. Rosie, Lucy, Joan Rivers are a few I enjoy.

    I would love to win tickets for baby loves disco. What makes me laugh is my 3 year old acting like her 12 year old sister and dancing and singing to her sisters fav. music on her ipod.

  • thomas says:

    Baby loves to disco! What makes me laugh is watching my girls laugh.

  • Maryann says:

    Super Saturday Kids Zone. The mention of San Francisco Airport makes me laugh. My husband accidentally dropped real dishes into a waist can at 6:30 AM. The place was empty and the noise could be heard far & wide. My daughter & I were so embarrassed that we just walked away and couldn’t stop laughing. We still laugh when ever we hear “San Francisco”.

  • Heather says:

    Super Saturday Kids Zone sounds like a blast! I have 3 things that make me laugh the most. And that would be my 3 girls. No matter how bad of a day I am having, I can count on them to put a smile on my face. Gotta love kids!

  • Megan Potts says:

    Would love 4 tickets to Baby Loves Disco! I laugh when my 18 month old makes his animal sounds! So precious. Meganrowden@gmail.com

  • Stephanie Pearson says:

    1. Oooh…this is such a toss-up!! We SO wanted to join in on Baby Loves Disco with my littlest gal last year, so I think I’m going to have to pick that one. Yet the Super Saturday Kids Zone would make more sense for my whole family, so it’d be a close 2nd. Either way, it’d be a win! We <3 LaughFest!!
    2. My 5 year old talking about boys…THAT makes me laugh. One, because it's so cute how embarrassed she gets…and 2 out of fear of the years to come…yikes! :/

  • Michelle says:

    Super Saturday Kids Zone. We did Baby Loves Disco last year and had fun but the younger ones weren’t that into it. I think they’d love all the activities at the zone. Lots of things make me laugh. My kids, books, Big Bang Theory, The Middle (very real life). Just try to laugh my way through life – it’s more fun!

  • Gina says:

    I would love to take my kids to Baby Loves Disco, but I think they would choose the Super Saturday, so i’ll have to go with that one!

  • Jen A says:

    my 2 yo makes me laugh (all of us actually) we would love to go to the baby loves disco, my bigger kids (10, 11,14) would probably prefer a big kid activity. Which ever you choose would be amazing I am sure! Thanks!

  • doug Karel says:

    The super saturday kids zone would be the best. Just listening to our daughter and her friends singing, laughing and having fun makes me laugh!

    There are SO MANY things that make me laugh but one thing that especially makes me laugh all the time is an awesome sheep impersonation my 36 year old brother does…..I can even laugh just thinking about him doing it. :-)
