Our family went to Lagoon yesterday for frightmares(although we did not do any frightmare activities so we may need to go back). All season we have been teasing Ashley that she needs to go on the Wicked. Just so you know this her first year doing anything but the merry-go-round and sky ride. Each time someone promises her something if she will just give it a try. James even offered her a new puppy!! But she refused. So we were all in line to go and she ran away. James went after her and after only about 2 minutes came back and said she was willing to try. (This time he had promised her nothing but she did get a churro and an icee) She was very nervous. We kept telling her to breath and go to her "happy place"(for my kids that is Grandma Townsend's house.) Finally I told her that I say a little prayer before every scarey ride. So she did right there sitting in the seat. Then we took off and while the rest of us screamed and laughed, Ashley kept saying "never again, never again" over and over. When it was all over we all hugged her. Jason was so proud he kept saying "wow Ashley you did it" and giving her hugs the rest of the day. If you ask her she will say she hated every minute of it, but she did it!! Ashley--your family is so proud of you.
