County Fair

A couple of weeks ago we took the boys out to the county fair to see a demolition derby.  They weren't too sure what was going on at first but both of them ended up really enjoying it!  After the first couple of rounds were over, we started to leave.  Big Brother decided that he really wanted to ride some rides.  He begged and pleaded to ride a roller coaster.  We walked over to it, asked him again if he was sure he wanted to ride, made sure he was tall enough then went to buy tickets.  He and one other little boy (probably at least 7 or 8 years old) got on the roller coaster for their ride.  The second the ride took off, Big Brother started crying.  :(  The coaster made two quick laps with a screaming 3 year-old before the attendant stopped the ride for him to get off.  Big Brother quickly recovered and decided to spend the rest of his tickets on much tamer rides.  

not sure what to expect

  2. Yep...same dragon. I think the take-off scared him. He was done from that moment on.
