Roller Coaster

Julia rode this ride among others yesterday. She called me to tell me while she was waiting in line, and then after she rode it. She said it was scary, but she was hoping to ride it again. It boasts of being the tallest roller coaster in the world. She told that she and Shelby changed their minds when it came time to get on the ride and both girls started crying. I just downloaded the POV on high speed and watched it with Michael. Even watching it - my head was moving like I was on it, Michael pointed out.

Last night, David called me to tell me that they waited 45 minutes to get on and when it came time, and the girls started their histrionics, he told them to "get their asses on the ride." I knew Julia didn't appreciate that. She doesn't like cussing. I said nothing to David when he told me that because I was right there with him. They went to Cedar Point to ride that ride as a highlight of their trip, waited 45 minutes in line, and weren't going to miss it because of a last minute panic attack.

It is so cool that David invited her to go to that park. They have accommodations at the park's resort hotel and can go into the amusement park an hour before it opens to the public. David told me they are having the best weather anyone could ask for, and an awesome view of Lake Erie from their balcony. I am very happy for Julia to have the opportunity to share in David's sales winnings. This is the second expenses-paid vacation that David has won with his million dollars' sales at Aucoin Hart. Patrick flew into and they picked him up at the airport yesterday before heading back to Cedar Point. I know the cousins' are having a blast with Uncle Dave. I hope somebody has a camera and takes pictures.

Friday, when she was leaving, Michael asked for and got a hug from Julia. She turned her back to me and flipped me a wave and said, "bye, Mom." I wasn't put out by that. She has called me almost a dozen times since being gone. She is my reporter. She called to tell me this morning about Uncle David's use of the curse word. I told her before she got it out. I also told her to be appreciative, easy-going, and enjoy herself. I know she will. I want to see a picture of her on that ride.
