So I've always loved roller coasters and there was a time in my life where riding on the back of a bike was a great thrill. I'm usually not one to back down from a dare. And it seems my girls are following in my footsteps.
A few years ago we went to Cedar Point and there it was, the Top Thrill Dragster. The tallest and fastest coaster in the universe. And oh we wanted to go. Me and Alli. And we waited in line. And waited. And waited. And as we watched it go again and again, I waited for Alli to bail. We were next in line and I gave her one more chance to skip on through. She didn't. We went. And it was AWESOME!!
Through the years my girls have watched me do one sort of thing or another where they weren't allowed. They did a fair amount of boo-hooing that it wasn't fair and I would just let them know that when they were bigger and ready, they could do these things too.
Things like this little adventure we undertook for Alli's birthday. I finally deemed her tall enough, old enough and crazy enough! Bear with my little video, it was taken from our tiny camera and I'm not some YouTube wiz, but it's freakin' AWESOME!!

Way to go Alli. Amy, you are really nuts...Janet
Wow, that WAS some extreme parenting. What fun!! I'm so glad she got to do that with you. Looked awesome, and I'm glad we got to "ride" along.
Oh my word!!! lol Extreme!
ahh Cedar Point. Living in Ohio, that place isn't so cool... because we would go for EVERY occasion...ALL of the time...AT every opportunity. sigh. lol
I miss Cedar Point (how much more do we have in common)?
That's awesome that you let your daughter go! Looks like fun! I always wanted to do it, but never wanted to spend the money!
What did the other girls say?
The roller coaster you speak of at Cedar Point. I rode it. I wanted to back out. I was terrfied. Husband made me ride it. Shivers...
The thing you just did?? I would NEVER do. Why? Because I am a chicken.
Haha! I love the commentary! What a little daredevil you have. Looks like she had a blast! Awesome!
What a ride...love you two...granny
Wow. Not at all shocked-Isabelle did claim you to be the coolest mom ever. Especially when she asked if I would go on that with her for her birthday and I said 'NO WAY, JOSE!' Little does she know, I won't let her go for her birthday either. haha.
You FREAKIN' LUNATICS!!!! Holy cajolies!!!!
Amy, you are like mom of the year.
Wait, whose idea was this anyway? Alli's or Amy's???
KEEP BELIEVING
you gals are crazy! Although I did go skydiving and as soon as I landed I booked my next dive!
Your husband's running commentary was too funny. "NASA certified" haahaahaa.
Thats AWESOME!!
I think I threw up a little in my mouth just watching it! You can totally have my fast passes at Disney. I don't like "rides." Wow. I'm impressed. Loved Hubby's input.
Wow. My belly flipped just WATCHING that clip. I can't wait till my girls are old enough to do stuff like THAT with me!
My wife would never--NEVER do that. Incredible.
Happy Birthday, Alli!
I love this - I mean - I CRAZY love this - I SO want to have the nerve SOMEDAY - hey, Julia is only FOUR - I have YEARS to build courage! You are so FUN Amy! :)
Fun! I love that on our recent trip to Cedar Point, my nine year old daughter could sit in the front seat next to me on the new Maverick ride! It was so fun we rode it twice! Next year...The Raptor!
I think I'll stick to tattoos...how cool of you!!!
