My Very First Ferris Wheel Ride

As a child, I have a horrific, traumatizing event happen on a roller coaster. My dad took my siblings and I to an amusement park when I was about five. He convinced me to go on this train ride that looked easy and non-eventful. I didn't want to go on any roller coasters but agreed with my dad that the train ride looked innocent. Boy, were we wrong! It was a full-blown roller coaster. Since that day, I have been very skeptical of amusement park rides and quite often do not even come close to going on fast, descending rides. I prefer just watching. Living in Kemah, one of the big attractions is the Boardwalk, where they have lots of amusement rides. Joe LOVES roller coasters and really wants to go on the one here but we compromised this weekend and went on the Ferris wheel instead. I have never been on one that I remember. It was a great experience and I would definitely do it again sometime! Here are pictures of Kemah and the ocean from the Ferris wheel.

The roller coaster called the Bullet that I won't go on

Saturday, we went and saw Brave and it was very good. It is a classic Disney movie so it's predictable but still a cute one. After that, we went to Burlington Coat Factory down the road (never been there before) and I had a wonderful time looking at shoes. I found two pairs of shoes for 20 dollars (fancy name brand kind that I NEVER buy and normally cost 40 dollars each!). We will definitely be going back someday.

My new shoes!
