Roller Coaster Magic Fun Time

I am not an amusement park lover. I think it all started that one time I snuck into the county fair with my friend Tanisha by hopping over a chain link fence. Tanisha popped on over and landed on her feet and then I went, except when I got to the top I basically just let my body go slack and I fell over the other side. I feel like my defense mechanism is just to accept my fate when it comes to falling down or off things. No flailing for me, just compliance, and then pain. Anyway, My pants weren't as much of a push over as me that day, and they hung onto the top of that fence for dear life though the left leg was feeling a little weak that day. And there went, in a spiral of ripped denim, an entire leg of my pants. 

I thought about this as I slowly burned to a crisp at the local theme park that the gang and I went to for aftwons and kkats birthdays. Those cute little beardy buddies. This time was  a lot better though. Kristopher rode a roller coaster (of which he has a very real fear of), the waves in the wave pool were fierce, I wore a dress and used the front entrance. It truly was a wonderful day.

This week I get to house sit for my aunt.

I am supra exited because she lives right downtown a couple of blocks from the lake, and my dream is to one day be a fish in a very polluted, deep glacial lake.

Today I got to spend the day with my mom and sister at Silverwood, the area theme park.

Usually the theme is lame but 

not this time, because I two of my three favorite women were by my side (the third being beyonce...jk hansie....no but really).

so it looks like ALL of my favorite things of this week are coming from just this one little thursday.

Numbah 1: Sending my little brother able in to the gas station to pick me up  a Lemon zest Luna Bar, only to have him return with a box of Powermint tic-tacs because he remembered "that one time I was talking about breath mints."

Numbwah: Little sister Ina on the carousel- "I can be three things at once. Scared, happy and ticklish. Right now I am two of those three things."

Number 3: Getting soaked on the riley rapids ride...less from the actual ride and more from our fellow passengers puddle stomping exit.

Number 4: Dippin Dots....the ice cream of the future

Numero 5: So many fancy photos my momsie took at the amusement park (all the photos on this post are by her...nice mom, many more photos to come!)

love-
