Boots, Steers, and Roller Coasters?

We hit up the Ft. Worth Stock Show and Rodeo this weekend with our friends the Brewers. Grant loved seeing all the animals but his favorite thing may just have been the kiddie roller coaster.

I am a HUGE fan of roller coasters but not so much the ones at these rinky-dink carnival-type things. I always think a few screws may have been left out/lost when putting it together and the whole thing will fall down at any minute. But Grant really wanted to ride it and he wasn't tall enough to go without an adult so I nervously got on and strapped us in.

First let me just say that for a kiddie roller coaster this one had some decent drops and was a pretty good ride. As we went along I was thinking Grant was not going to like it but he screamed and laughed his head off and insisted we ride again. (I made Jason ride it with him the second time. I had already taken my chances and wasn't going to tempt fate twice in one outing. Though not sure what it says about me that I let my son and husband get on it.)

 I'm excited to know that I'll have a roller coaster riding partner down the road and look forward to taking Grant on the big coasters (you know, the ones they don't take apart and put on the back of a tractor-trailer) when he gets bigger.

 Grin.
