Since my last visit i've had a nasty fall down stairs and have devloped an annoying fear of heights. I was petrified of going on the rollercoaster, now called Arkham Asylum because your feet dangle and it takes so long to be pulled up the top, my heart starts beating, my hands start shaking and them WHOOSH off you go down and around and you get to the end and go Man I need to do that again, and so you line up and experience the heart palpitations all over again at the end still to feel success and thank the gods you didnt die the second time :)TashNzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02146884245899602417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-63467155456893453862013-03-24T09:59:28.141+11:002013-03-24T09:59:28.141+11:00Tammy, I'm so impressed you went on a roller c...Tammy, I'm so impressed you went on a roller coaster with your teen!
