Holla!

Here is a picture of Alex with my cousin daughter Katelyn at the Nickelodeon park which is the new amusement park at the Mall of America in Bloomington, Minnesota.



Alex is a little thrill seeker. I'm really not into rides....something about being suspended in the air and having my insides shaken up that just doesn't do it for me. Alex, however, was all about it. I did force myself to go on the roller coaster with him and at one point, I looked over at him and his little butt wasn't even touching the seat! He was laughing and giggling through the whole ride though - mom was green by the end of the ride. I'm not sure if it was the ride or seeing my only child suspended in the air with only a bar across his chest to save him from plummeting to the ground.

I LOVE roller coasters but don't enjoy the rides that are spinning in one direction while the whole ride in spinning in another direction. Makes me sick even thinking about that. ugh!

I'd rather go round and round on a Merry-Go-Round than go up and down on a roller coaster. Now what does that say about me and the kind of life I'd rather lead?

I used to be a thrill seeker but now I get quezy just thinking about it. I will stick to the water rides. At least if I fall out, there is something somewhat soft to land in.

I super duper love roller coasters. Love them!!!

Ask Tracy about the time we went to Valley Fair and went on the Power Tower....or whatever it's called. We free fell for a few seconds and she almost started crying. I laughed my head off at her. :) We're good friends like that. :)

You are more brave than me, I don't think I could have done a roller coaster ride. What is it about boys and their thrill seeking??!!
