Be careful what you ask for !

Julie and Emma where just sorting out a desk and came across a special photo of Emma . It was from a day that she learned a very valuable lesson... "Be careful what you ask for, you just might get it ".. this is something that we could all remember from time to time.. there is so much that we think we would like or should have , yet if we ever got it, we would find that it was not all it was cracked up to be.
When Emma was around 4 , she was with us at Canada's Wonderland .. it was a beautiful day, and we spent a lot of time going around to the kiddy rides.. All emma wanted was to go on the roller coaster, but she was too small and too young. then we found the " Scooby Doo Goaster Coaster".. it had all the fun and thrills of the adult ride, but was geared more for a younger rider. Emma and her Aunt Kim came to us and said ." we have found a Roller Coaster that Emma is tall enough for.. can she Pleeeease go on it...
Now the neat thing is that these rides have a camera that takes your photo on the drop... I know its just a cash grab, but we really had to get this one as a reminder of this valuable lesson...

Hilarious...I feel that same way about the big drops on roller coasters! It is even worse if you wait in line for like an hour to ride it! haha.
