I might as well be honest about yesterday.\u00a0 A ride finally brought me to tears!\u00a0 For real!\u00a0 The Swinging Gondolas on the giant Mickey Ferris Wheel put me over the edge.\u00a0 Stephen\u00a0put us up to all going on it and I agreed.\u00a0 I\u00a0hate<\/em> ferris Wheels to begin with.\u00a0 We were walking down the ramp towards the stationary gondolas that don’t swing and I took one look at James’ face and knew he wanted to do the swinging one.\u00a0 You know the look.\u00a0 So, I turned us all around and we waited and waited and finally got on one.\u00a0 Yes – it is<\/em> as bad as it sounds. You swing on rails and tip forward and back so you can see the ground way <\/em>down below or worse yet, the water.\u00a0 I think I have\u00a0 created a whole new fear in my daughters.\u00a0 sigh<\/em><\/p>\n

Going up! This ride was off to a poor start. I was happy to see the ground!<\/p><\/div>\n

A happy note to end the day.<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n<\/div>\n

Now that I’ve been so honest about my least favourite endless eternity<\/span> moment of the day, my highlight was riding the tube ride in California park.\u00a0 James and I were on each side of\u00a0the doorway to the tube.\u00a0 We got soaked and then we got drenched as we were all chuckling about how wet we were.\u00a0 Too funny!\u00a0 I could tell the two young ladies who shared our tube didn’t know what to make of us at first, but by the end we were all howling!<\/p>\n

\u00a0Quick Edit to add:<\/p>\n

Garnet told me after a ride, “That one was fine Mom. I wasn’t scared.\u00a0 My body<\/em> was a little bit scared though!”<\/p>\n

Grace let me know that she was, “Almost<\/em> scared after Pirates.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
