Thrill or Chill at Your Local Theme Park

Life with children is like a roller coaster

highs
lows
curves
swerves

a new twist and turn
at every corner

hands lifted
stomachs dropping

speeds that require disclaimers upon entry

So, of course it makes sense that
when we have free time with our kids

we hit the local amusement park

for a roller coaster adventure
that pretty much sums up our real lives

as we prepare to...

secure loose items
buckle up
hold on

and

SCREAM

until it's time to
hop off and do it all again!
