At the end of last summer, The Boy got brave and went on his first roller coaster. (first willing roller coaster - since we sort of tricked him onto The Barnstormer in Disney 3 years ago...) Since then, (although he declined an opportunity to go on another roller coaster in Hershey in the fall) there has been much discussion about what rides he will try to go on. On our last visit to Fantasy Island a few of weeks ago, he made some strides going on a couple of rides he had never gone on before. With our upcoming Disney trip on the horizon, the discussion of rides has gotten more intense. What you need to know about The Boy is that he does not follow the crowd. If he doesn't want to do something, there is nothing that will make him do it. On the flip side, when he sets his mind to do something, there is no stopping him. So tonight at Fantasy Island, he matched his brother and sister ride for ride (except that crazy big boat....;-)). Tonight's new ride for The Boy was "the drop ride" (that's what the kids call it - you know the free fall thing...) He decided to give it a try and with all the determination he could muster, he got on line with everyone and got on the ride. He looked nervous. I was worried. But when he got off, he said "It was awesome!" We have another convert! :-)
