El Toro: 70-mph wooden roller coaster.

Comments

Kathryn looks like she's going to throw up. I LOVE wooden coasters with that rickety-oh-my-God-we're-going-to-crash feeling. You know, for some reason I thought you had a beard.

And then I soiled myself.

[Tammy from Twinstuff]

Wow, Kathryn! You go girl! I've been on that coaster a time or two. I remember that it's a pretty rough ride. I guess that was back in '93 when we stationed in Delaware. We have video from the safari park during bear mating season. I am glad your family had a great time.

Even if it had been a group photo, I still would have been able to pick you guys out. Something about Kathryn looking terrified while you look downright exhilirated, whether it's because of the ride or the terrified child NEXT to you on the ride. That's a keeper!

[Joy]

I take it the twins were tied to the sides, with a thin rope, and that's why we can't see them in the picture.

Cool shot. Poor girl ... I can so relate to that face of fear she has on. So, is she hooked, or traumatized?

I like the latest banner shot.

[Erika]

The banner shot is mine! I'm so excited. Well excitement just seems to be abounding today, first roller coasters then my pix. yea.

I went on a rollercoaster once.

Just once.

So glad to see a picture of the most creative member of your family - Kate, or Katy, or Kathryn, is it? No offense, but you do realize that by posting your own picture that you have shattered the fantasy of thousands (?) of women out there who had conjured up their own image of The Dad. You look just like you always have, although I thought by now you would have succumbed to a mid-life crisis and grown your hair out long. Or maybe shaved it off altogether.

[The Dad]

m24x7: "Shattered the fantasy of thousands"? I think you meant "confirmed the fantasy of millions," thank you very much. And I'm not falling for this "I knew you when" stuff anymore. Not without proof.

Sue: I did have a beard at the beginning of the ride. I think I lost it on the first drop.

Joy: They wouldn't let us tie the twins to the coaster, so we found a stranger to take them to the spinning teacups while we rode. I hope they are okay.

[Michelle]

That's a prize winner there... WOO!!!

[qwyneth]

Wait, The Mom is pushing forty? No way! She looks 25, tops!

[You can call me, 'Sir']

I'll bet you were yelling "THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU DON'T LISTEN TO DADDY!!!" at Kathryn throughout the ride.

[Leah]

Kathryn seems to be afraid of the freakishly long, disembodied arms positioned on either side of you guys.

[qwyneth]

Dude, I can't believe you didn't photoshop an alien or shark into today's banner.

[DebiD]

I must be choosing the wrong movies on Netflix because the first thing I thought when I saw this photo was, "OH NO! Kathryn's joined a gang!"

[mommy24x7]

I must not have enough to do because I keep coming back here waiting for a new post. What happened to The Dad? I haven't had a good laugh since August 6th and the "busyness" post. Has he run out of ideas? Or run off to Canada? Or have the kids run him into the ground? Come back, come back, wherever you are!

[Mia]

That's my kid, that's my kid! Lake Michigan, with a bucket -- does it get any better?

Well, it *could* get better ... if The Dad would post again ...
