The Happiness Project: Important Firsts

Baby's First Roller Coaster.
(At Busch Gardens' Sesame Street Safari of Fun.)

Okay, so at 3-years-old she isn't really a baby anymore,
but this was her first ride on a roller coaster. 
We linked arms as we rode and when I asked her if she liked it, she told me,
"No."

Then she rode a second time with her daddy.

Got some happy?

Link up at Leigh vs. Laundry!

BTW, Busch Gardens' Safari of Fun area is awesome for kids, AWESOME!  I love how many rides they have that the kids can go on all on their own!  And now, you can even get pictures with Big Bird and Elmo!  Unfortunately, you cannot take your own pics in their rooms -- in order to have photographic evidence of your child hugging and mugging with the two famous residents of The Street, you have to purchase a picture. 

Busch Gardens, I love you, but even Disney World lets you take your own pics of Mickey, Minnie, the princesses, the fairies, and whatever character you may bump into.  Come on, now.

Alas, no one in my family will ride the coasters w/me. It's sad...very VERY sad. But I'm happy for you. OK, maybe jealous, but it's a happy kind of jealous.
