LOL – These were the words the my dd uttered after her very first roller coaster ride. We took the kids to the fair Friday, it was early release day, and had fun. The entire time were heading to the fair and walking in the gates, dd is talking about how she wants to ride a ’scary’ ride. She first rode a very tame canoe ride, that she said was (and I quote) LAME. So, we take her by some of the other rides in the kiddie area and she pronounces them all, even the two roller coasters, not scary enough. She has decided that she wants to go on the Crazy Mouse roller coaster, this ride not only goes up and down hills but it also spins without warning in some places. My dh decides, if this is what she wants we will try it. So after making sure she understands that they will not be able to stop the ride for her to get off we head to the line. Wouldn’t you know it, she is 2 inches too short to ride and promptly burst into tears. After much cajoling, taking ds to see the snakes and riding the Skyway, she decides to ride on the Sleigh Ride (which some might know better as the Himalaya – goes round and round really fast, loud music, and on some the cars rock up and down). She rides that, declares it fun but not scary enough and cons my dh into taking her on the Zizzler (or something like that – it’s a metal roller coaster that she is just tall enough for). So they go on that, I’m watching as she goes up the first hill. By the time the cars made it to the bottom of the first hill she is covering her eyes and practically melded into my dh. When they get off the ride, I find out that she never screamed but kept saying ‘oh no, not another one’ every time they came to a hill. I asked her if it was fun and she said – ‘yeah it was real fun, but I think that next time I will try one of the small ones’. ROFLMAO
It’s so hard to think of them growing up so fast. I mean, it was just a few months ago this same girl didn’t want to go down the frog water slide in the kiddie pool. Where did the time go!?!?!?
