You Silly Fool

I've heard Tyler say, "you silly fool," multiple times in the past week.  I'm not sure which movie it came from.

We had such a good time at Hershey Park on Tyler's birthday.  I was very impressed with how many good rides there were (including water slides) and how daring the kids were.  Early in the day we tested the water with a small roller coaster and a log ride.  In both cases they were scared but wanted to go again.  By the end of the day, nothing was too much for them.  Even when Tyler was obviously scared, holding tight and sitting back with a concerned face, he still always asked to go again as soon as the ride was slowing down.  We ended the day with a tall water ride where your feet dangle as you hang from a slow moving roller coaster about 50 or 60 feet up while people launch water geysers at you from the ground.  Then we went on the big white wooden roller coaster just before the park closed.

Larisa insisted on riding the scariest roller coaster she could find.  I didn't want to look sissy, so I rode right after her (on the very front).  The roller coaster we rode was called Fahrenheit.
