naomikritzerMolly put out another edition of her newspaper today. Well, she started it yesterday, so for "today" read "on Saturday, September 12th."

Ed Bikes 100 Miles!
Today Ed Burke biked 100 whole miles. He cannot bend over now. Hopefully he will be able to bend over soon. Congradulations for accomplishing this, Ed!
Then for "Fun and Games" she had a daily comic that appears to be a little picture of Harry Potter, and a word search where you find Dad, Biker, Ed, Nice, Bedtimer, and Works, but good luck with that as she had a lot of trouble getting the letters to line up the way she wanted. She actually produces this newspaper on a manual typewriter, which does not lend itself to word searches, alas.
Then for additional filler she put in a recipe, but she cribbed that out of a cookbook so I'm not going to bother to transcribe it.

malachitefer drove the girls and me down for Defeat of Jesse James Days; we watched the re-enactment of the failed bank robbery and the girls went on rides. Kiera wanted to go on the Scrambler and needed a responsible companion, so I gritted my teeth and got on with her.
Today was Kiera's birthday party; instead of a party, we took her and two friends to the Como Town amusement park; it's a small, kid-oriented amusement park next to the St. Paul zoo. We bought unlimited ride bracelets for the kids, plus me, so that I could escort them on stuff as needed. All of the kids were 42" or taller and so most of the rides, they could go on without an escort, which is good as my tolerance for spinny rides is low. I took them on the "Tornado" and on the roller coaster; the roller coaster was particularly exciting as I could escort only one girl at a time, so I rode the damn thing three times in a row.
Interestingly, Molly decided today that she DID like thrill rides after all; for years, she's been uninterested on going on anything wilder than the merry-go-round. Today she initially passed on the rollercoaster, then decided she wanted to try it, and rode it three times in a row. She also went on the Drop Zone four times and finished out the day with a trip on the Tornado with me, Kiera, and one of Kiera's friends.

Date: 2009-09-14 02:46 pm (UTC)I'm lucky in that my brother, roller coaster aficionado, escorted Meg on her first coaster rides. I like coasters but find that my body no longer puts up with the rattling and shaking like it used to...
