• I went to Great America today and had a lot of fun. (will come back later to ellaborate).

  *Edit*
  It was pretty crowded, but then again the weather was perfect and it's august. We rode all the rides except for Viper and Iron Wolf. Margaret was going to force to me to ride iron wolf, but then she decided to try and convince me to ride the Dare Devil Dive. The Dare Devil Dive is somewhat like a bungee jump thing- you jump off with a cable and then freefall and swing like a pendulum. I did not want to do it. I was petrified. I was talking a million miles an hour about how freaky it was. But somehow Margaret convinced me to do it.

  So I did.

  It was amazing. I felt like I was flying (which is a big deal to me). It made my stomach lurch and my heart squeeze. In a way the rush was similiar to praying about the Book of Mormon after reading it. Only this was shorter and more temporal. But none the less it was amazing.

  Also waited forever to go on Superman. I decided that the Dare Devil Dive is better than Superman, which also gives a flying sensation if more structured. Still, I do love superman at night. What a ride.

  My parents yelled at me for spending the whole day there, which just frustrates me. I know that they need extra help cause of Jonathan, but a. I didn't take the car, b. My dad and two siblings spent the weekend in Hawaii while I stayed home to take care of the little ones and work, c. I'm leaving in 20 days. Oh well, what can I do. I'm not super brother.

  Well I'm going to go sleep and dream about flying like Peter Pan.
