Castles and Coasters

One thing we have discovered about Bella is that she loves roller coasters.

Loves them.

We have passes to LegoLand, since its just minutes from my parents house, and Bella is brave enough to try even the tallest roller coasters. We may have even fudged her height a bit last summer by letting her wear her wedge sandals that give her an extra inch or so. Those big brown eyes were just pleading for us to let her ride the "big kid" rides, and we couldn't say no. Lucky for her, now she is the perfect height and can conquer all the rides they have to offer.

So last weekend we came up with a spur-of-the-moment idea to take the kids to castles and coasters, which is just a fun amusement place with a few rides- but to Bella, it was heaven.

In fact, John went there when he was a kid, and the roller coaster with the loop scared him to death! And he was 14!

Bella handled it like a champ :-)

So we had lunch, rode all the rides and had a fun Sunday together. Even the boys got to go on a few rides that maaay have scared them. Just a little. Right boys?

Ty was able to go on a few rides all by himself, and he was a little nervous at first....

Then he started getting excited......

...and then he had a blast!
