...every time I think of THIS.
Last Friday my family was blessed by my mother-in-law's generosity. She works for a division of Hershey and can get free tickets to Hershey Park. If not for this fact we would not go. It's just too expensive.
We took the tour through Chocolate World first and the adults ate the packed "supper" we each had brought along. The kids wiggled and squirmed and were too wide-eye-excited to think of eating food. The absurdity when such fun was to be had!
We spent awhile in the kiddie sections. Then a group broke off to go to the water park area and my brother Joe and I set off to brave the likes of FAHRENHEIT. Our loved ones said their goodbyes and assured us the life insurance policies were paid up. (!!!)
We chatted leisurely as we waited in the hour-long queue. It wasn't until we were debating where to stash Joe's glasses that any signs of doubt or trepidation were expressed. He accused me of talking him into this. (Let the record state that neither of us had needed ANY encouragement.)
It wasn't until we were in this position that my heart started pounding.
OH. MY. GOODNESS.
What a thrill! What a rush! I could not stop LAUGHING the entire ride!
And since I had not been to the Park since 1995, I had to chase it with THE STORMRUNNER.
I <3 rollercoasters. The higher and faster the better!

I did not know this about you! Now, I unfortunately can barely stomach the kiddie rides at Storyland. There was a day when I might have joined you... I think that day is past. When did I get old?
Well, we can't be alike about EVERYTHING. I do like rollercoasters, but my stomach does not. I get motion sickness in the front seat of cars...
Rollercoasters take me at least 1/2 hour to recover from...not fun for my friends with me.
Looks like fun though!
I used to love them, but I was about 40 when I realized that I had gotten old and did not like the feeling of my brains banging around inside my head!
Dick still isn't old, hahahaha!
