likes to have fun!

What a beautiful day it has been! It had all the aura of a summer day, but it's still early in May. And, I still can't get over what perfect weather we often have here in Colorado! There was also a full moon -- or what appeared to be one.

We went to an amusement park tonight. It was "school night" or something like that, which meant there were families all over the place enjoying the magic of the evening. I was in the mood to have fun, so I didn't say 'no' to any of the ride requests (except for the ones which would have definitely made me puke.) Ben likes different rides than Laura likes, so it was kind of even in the end. That little girl doesn't get fazed by going round and round, very fast. She just can't handle heights. Ben is the opposite. I'm more like Ben, but braver! Gary came along and enjoyed watching us, but he no longer enjoys the motion of it all. He's more of a cotton candy guy.

I was very brave tonight and (all by myself) took the risk to ride the tower that climbs about 60 feet up and then suddenly drops you. I was all psyched up, but then involuntarily let out a scream that didn't sound like I was having fun! It's hard to describe the sensation. Maybe you've done it!

Anyway, the real crux of this post is to say that at one point in the evening, I'm standing in line at "The Whip" when my 13 year old son puts his arms around me and just hangs on for the entire line...which also spawned my daughter's affection. Hmm. Just sweet moments for a mother's heart...you know?
