Easter/Spring Break

I forgot to post back in April about my Easter and Spring Break experience.  Chris, Caitriona and Harry came over from London for Easter.  We had a great day down at Becky & Mike's house, the traditional location for Easter.  We counted and had over 100 people there that day.  The only thing we had more of was eggs.

The Wednesday after Easter, Caitriona, Harry and I set off for a fun filled day of adventure at Six Flags.  I was especially excited about fulfilling another item on my list (see previous Post of Setting Goals).  That's right, I rode the Dahlonaga Mine Train roller coaster.  It was the only coaster we could convince Harry to ride.  I nervously approached the machine, secretly praying I would fit and not have to be removed because the safety harness wouldn't snap in to place.  I thought humiliation was approaching because I got in and tried to close the bar but it just wouldn't catch.  The worker came by to check and told me to cross my legs at the ankle.  Once I did that it snapped right into place and off we went.  It was exhilarating.  I can't remember the last time I giggled so hard.  It was cold and windy that day, but the wind blowing through my hair warmed my soul.  I was happy.  I was riding a roller coaster.

We promised Harry a superhero cape if he rode with us.  He picked the Joker.  It was appropriate.
