Space Mountain

We used to go to Disneyland atleast 3 to 4 times a year while stationed at Camp Pendleton and MCRD San Diego.  We were in So Cal for YEARS!!!!  We did 3 duties on camp Pendleton before moving 35 miles south for 3 1/2 years at MCRD San Diego, so i honestly could not count how many times we have been to The Happiest Place on Earth!  Space Mountain is my favorite ride there.  I love how it is pitch dark inside and you can't see the tracks, so you never know when you are going down or around, or anything!  I have not been able to ride it in decades because i was either pregnant or we had children not tall enough to ride.  There was NOOOOO way i would have let Ed take care of the kids for a few hours while waited in line for my favorite ride, that would just be mean and i actually like the guy.  Sooo, this time i talked everyone into riding it with me!  It was a 90 minute wait but the photo was worth every last second of creeping along!  We even got the very first space car!

The photo literally tells how each member of our family feels about rollercoasters!  Poor Ty, he was regretting getting on this ride before we even pulled out down the tracks!

Vicki, not easily scared, just sitting back and wondering when the ride is gonna get good

Ryan, always looking around to see how everything operates

Ed, a good sport for me

Me, loving the thrill of the ride and hanging on for dear life

Ty, ducking down afraid to see what is ahead!

I found this photo from Vix's first time riding the Log Ride at Knotts Berry Farm, again, just looking out wondering when is it gonna get good!  Miss those Erekson kids!

This might be when Ty became traumatized of roller coasters....Vicki said she didn't like all the yelling.....
