So here’s the deal – I’m terrified of roller-coasters. I am pretty sure that I’m gonna fall out the minute the ride starts. I’m also certain that the ride actually lasts 32 minutes even though they tell you it is only about 4 minutes.

But, Riley wanted to do it so badly. And somehow mom agreed to do it. And before I knew it, I was strapped in. As we rounded the first corner, I yelled “Oh dear Jesus, please get me off this thing.” Dad wasn’t quite sure what to do with me screaming in his ears, but I did make it down. And lived. And laughed hysterically when Riley hopped off and yelled, “Let’s do it again!”.
