Little Daredevil

I openly admit I’m not the biggest roller coaster fan, so with having said that, I share what happened over the weekend last weekend.  We took Moriah to Dollywood for her first big outing since she’s been a toddler.  Now we have been showing her all the roller coasters she would be able to ride with YouTube videos and she was excited.  We had to watch them over and over….and over.  I was still wondering how it was going to be when she actually got on one and I thought I would be witness from the ground but NOOOO, she said daddy you sit right behind me.  Well I am wrapped around her finger so I did.  We got front seat, well Moriah and mommy got front seat I sat right behind and here we went.  It was a legit coaster too.  No loops but a legit steel coaster called the Firechaser Express.  Well we went around up down whipping around and I could here her mamma scream with delight, after all she LOVES roller coasters but I didn’t hear a peep out of Moriah.  No crying, that’s good I thought.  Well what seemed like forever since I was wondering about my baby girl and when we got off, her reaction said it all…SHE LOVED IT!!!  So much so we had to ride every one she could and I had to sit behind her and we even rode one coaster twice.  Daddy had to ride behind her on every single one.  I have to admit, even with my dislike of coasters, I was loving it and she almost turned me into a coaster fan last weekend.  Seeing how happy it made her, my motto with coasters right now is, suck it up buttercup, these days will be long waaaaay to quickly.
