Adrenaline Rush


After getting their roller coaster legs on the D-land rides, the boys hit California Adventure ready to feel a new kind of rush. The California Screamin' roller coaster was just the ticket. The ride begins with a 65 mph start up a steep hill, so you definitely feel the effects of gravity before several steep drops and then the ultimate fun....being spun upside down. JT and Spencer were game to go from the moment they saw the ride. Cole took some persuading and Grandma wasn't sure. So Grandma held the bags for the first ride.

The moment they got off the coaster, the boys were ready to ride again. And Grandma wasn't going to be left out this time. So we set off again, with Kristin and me idly wondering how we would explain it to our dad if the ride gave our 63 year old mother a heart attack......Spencer, with a more practical concern, took care that Grandma took off her glasses before we launched.

We took our third and final spin in the evening, as the coaster was lit up by lights. The boys thought it was terrific and afterward, they kept shouting, "that was awesome." It was a terrific end to a great trip.
