Our leader took us down some rough country roads, a little off the beaten path. The scenery was nice though. Then he ask for directions and we were back on the road again.

Okay here we are. Cedar wanted to ride the "ZIPPER" We had him stand and watch it, making sure he knew it flipped upside down while turning, he still wanted to ride. Grandad said he wasn't riding that ride. Little did he know that I have always rode those rides. So as a last ditch effort to keep Cedar from riding I ask the guy if he was big enough. Yep he was. The rest is History. Cedars the MAN

Here we are on the ride. Bottom right. We got to the top and started flipping upside down.[ if you have rode this ride you know it is really jerky] Cedar said he wanted them to stop the ride & I said they can't stop it for us Hon, hold on tight and brace yourself it will be over in a minute and it was. He didn't scream, he didn't get sick, I'm betting he will ride this kind of ride again.
