More Old but Fun Stuff...Rescue on a Roller Coaster

There is supposed to be a video of a very scary roller coaster here but Blogger wouldn't upload the video. Dont know why. Anyway, the story is below.

This is Krakken at Sea World. J is on this roller coaster too. She rode this one over and over and when I was finally too queasy to ride any more she decided to go by herself. While I was waiting for her they closed the ride because of technical difficulties. I walked up the ramp as the people waiting in line were coming down...no J! Walked back down to the entrance figuring I just missed her...no J! A few minutes later she comes walking out. When I asked where she had been she said, "I was on the roller coaster when it stopped!" Then some lady came up behind her and said to her waiting husband, "That's the girl who saved me!" Apparently, the woman started flipping out when the coaster stopped and J helped her to get down. When I asked J how she knew what to do she said, "I don't know. When she started to hyper ventilate I just thought someone should help her." That's my girl!

Some old but fun stuff!

J is somewhere on this roller coaster...lying face down!!!! I could only ride it a couple times but she rode it over and over again! That's my girl! This is the Manta at SeaWorld! We were there in February.

Spring

I haven't been able to work in the garden this spring because of my shoulder but somehow the flowers decided to bloom anyway. Mother Nature is pretty good about that kind of thing. The shoulder appears to be on the mend. Yahoo! Maybe I'll get out there soon!

Lacrosse

This is a picture of Jeanne and her friend on the ground. You might think there is no wrestling in lacrosse and you would be correct. These two defenders went after the girl on the other team hard, screaming and yelling, "That's my ball! Give me that ball! I want that ball!" They ended up in a heap on the ground. The ref came over saying, "Ladies! Ladies!" To which the dad and I responded, "Is she talking to our duaghters?" In the end, J got the ball because the girl on offense had hip checked her and that's why they ended up on the ground. Hardly seems fair.

Spring Concert 2010

The spring concert was a hit. J sang with the chorus and played the drum with the advanced band. The I-LES band and chorus are remarkable!

Dancing Through Life!

The dance recital is next weekend. All those years of toe, toe, toe, heel, heel, heel, step touch, step touch, step touch leads to this. J is in six dances and really shines on stage! I almost cried at the dress rehearsal when they danced to True Colors. I guess I should take tissues to the actual recital.
