I've been meaning to get to this blog post for some time, but haven't. A couple Fridays ago we met our friends The Schmidts and The Chandlers at the Mall of America for dinner and rides. Jackson being the youngest of the three children and never before exposed to the rides at the Mall of America, probably shouldn't have started out on the kiddie roller-coaster. Oops. Dad joined him, as I am not allowed to ride (pooh). Jackson had a look of terror every time they passed the moms who looking on, but no tears were shed. When we got in line for the next ride, I asked if he wanted to ride and he just kept repeating "no thank-you mommy". We decided not to push the issue, but thought that our $17.95-all-the-rides-you-can-ride-bracelet was a huge waste! However we got in line for the hot air balloons and though hestitant, Dad persuaded him and by the second time around he was smiling and waving at his Mommy taking pictures! Success! After the balloons, he went on the train ride, the carousel and the ferris wheel.It is so nice to be able to meet up with friends who have kids of the same age. While it's a lot of action, and a bit hectic, it's so much fun for all. Thanks guys.

Take it from someone who knows...you might not want to let Jackson ride Space Mountain at Disney until he is about eight and in total control of his bladder.
I am afraid of rides also
Too funny! Oh my gosh, Malak is such a thrill seeker and I can't go on spinny rides so I have to find someone to go with so he has someone go on those rides with him. Jackson may change now that he knows what it is like.
