30 Days of Updates Day 11


One of Austin's friends had a birthday party at Frontier City this summer, which is the 'big' amusement park in Oklahoma. It is a bit scaled down from Six Flags, but it has some good rides. Aubrey decided she was going to hang with the big boys and ride all of the roller coasters (except for the one that does two loops frontwards and backwards, thankfully she was too little so she didn't feel too bad about not wanting to do that one. I am not so sure I would have let her).

Anyway, I was so proud of her. She has a tendency to skip out on doing things because of her fear, and when she eventually tries whatever it is, she loves it and wishes she hadn't waited so long. Usually I try to 'gently' push her into doing things, (and by gently I mean drag her and threaten), but this time I was secretly hoping she wouldn't want to do the coasters because I was a little nervous for her. You can tell by this 'before' picture that she was a little nervous too. I wish I would have gotten her 'after' picture, but she ran by me so fast to get back in line to do it again that I couldn't snap it. She had a blast! As did the boys, who rode all of the rides at least a dozen times. I, however, rode one ride too many and left the park nauseated with a headache. I think it was the double loop ride...

Like a wise person once told me, "once you buy the ticket, you have to ride." Deb, that wise person was your husband Brian. I've repeated those words many times over the years.
