What an Adventure

The Care Rides -Very low level thrill. Most Snoozed. My car watched National Treasure there and back so that upped the Thrill to a 3 at times.

The Water Park Rides -all 3-5 Especially the Funnel of Fear and the Mine Shaft! Yikes. And the Grand Rapids and the big UP, DOWN and Drenched by the 40 ft. wave one -all 5s. Gotta love those velcro safety belts. They really do save lives.

The Sassy Swans -Thrill Level 2 0r 3 -but quickly escalated to a 5 when heading toward the fountains in the center of the pond...

Thunder Hawk -Thrill Level 5...Mad Mouse -Thrill Level -6 (a Mrs. Cindy rating...)

The Footsie Wootsie

An unrated Thrill...Amanda said it was NOT just jiggling her feet...but it felt kinda good.
So, we'll give it a 3.

The Food

We pretty much brought our own. From left over pizza to PB and J. Unrated thrill level. The sharing level was quite high, though.

The Coasters... Corkscrew -Thrill Level 5 The Shivering Timbers and Wild Cat -8?

Unlike the Nashville Adventure -this Michigan Adventure was a breeze. Didn't get lost, didn't receive a ticket, didn't scorch in 110* temps. (Though Adam may look scorched due to his first sun debut of summer 08.) The weather was absolutely perfect -thanks Syd for choosing the date, the rides were a thrill from 1-5, though we disagreed on many of the ratings.

Anyway we left with 12 and arrived back at HOPE with the same 12. Only one hurled to our knowledge and even that was for the better.

So thanks to all of the great teens and Adam who came to the meet up times and behaved respectfully. It was a great day. These are just a few of shots I took -(Mrs. Cindy) or you took with my camera.

Oh yeah, and say a prayer today for Mr. Steve who has a 2 hour commute, an 8+ hr. work day at MET LIFE and only about 5 hours of sleep.

Welcome new Jr Highers -Amanda and Trevor who came along. It was great to start getting to know you. We look forward to getting to to know the rest of you better real soon.
