Rollercoasters..NO MORE!







We had a nice time yesterday as we went to Martin's Fantasy Island despite the rainy forecast. Being that it rains almost every day here in Buffalo, we figured to suck it up and go anyway. It turned out to only rain for maybe 30 minutes but we shopped in the stores and had some ice cream while we waited for the clouds to move on out.
The kids had a blast and I even managed to get my big butt on a few coasters and rides as well. I am curious though as to why as I get older my ability to handle motion is limited?@! I was a huge fan of any type of roller coaster when I was younger and loved to push the limits. Ask me now and my stomach answers for you. I just don't understand what happened?
Anyway, Jenna loved the up and down one-Forgive me as I can't think of the name. I just remember it because I decided to go on it and must admit that I too had a ball on that! (Psst..It was a kiddie ride, shh!) It brings you up and then drops you a little bit at a time. Her next favorite was the Mousetrap, that was a roller coaster and she was too small last year to ride so that was a proud moment for her when they brought that pole to her head and said she was tall enough! Although I still think those sticks that they use to measure are way off. It was supposed to measure a 48" height and she barely made it. Now she just had her physical 3 months ago and measured 50", I made sure to tell the ride attendant that!
The Antique cars were always one of my favorites! I begged Jenna to drive it but she insisted on me driving. She couldn't understand that they were on a track and nothing would happen if she drove! Typical, paranoid Jenna! Even my 3 year old nephew, Dylan drove it! Although my mom said his 5 year old brother was covering his eyes because he didn't want Dylan to crash!
So overall it was a nice time and everyone was pooped when we finally got home. On top of being tired I had to go pick up Kane from Grandma Elaine's house-Luckily he went to sleep by 9:30.
