Happenings in May…

 

• went to Great America with several of my friends… I rode a roller coaster for the very first time and found out that I can handle the tamer ones (loops, upside down, etc.), but I’m not brave enough to face the crazy ones! (drop tower and ones where your feet dangle in the air) 😂😂
