Nothing Important Happened Today

Does syrup have sugar in it? Then yes.

This is the second time I am typing this blog. I was almost finished and then I just lost all my work. It happens to me almost every time. You would think I would have learned my lesson and saved it half way through or something. No, I never learn.
Anyway, lets try this again. Yesterday I paid 15 bucks to go on the sky coaster at Lagoon. We bought our tickets. Jessica bought two tickets so she could go on it once with Spencer and Chaylene and again with me and Josh. They went first and we stood and watched. It made me nervous because I knew I would be going on it soon. About an hour later we were standing in the line waiting to go on the sky coaster. Spencer wanted to go on it again so Jessica decided to go with him instead of us since he needed another person. It was Josh and mine turn to get suited up. Josh was really nervous. I think he thought he might throw up since he was a little sick already. We got hooked up to the cords and was told to link elbows and hold onto our own wrists until the after the first swing. Then we ascended to the top. I do not know how high it was at the very top but it was freaking scary. As soon as we got up there I heard the lady at the bottom say, "...fly." I was like, "Already? We Just got up here." Josh pulled the cord and we started flying towards the ground. After about three seconds of falling gravity caught us. It was such an odd and glorious feeling. It was not scary anymore. After about the second swing we unhooked elbows and stretched our arms out and flew. My legs were shaking but it was so much fun. I could see Paige and Kishori at the bottom waving. When we came to a stop we unhooked and unsuited. We watched Jessica and Spencer go up. Paige said that she could hear Josh screaming but not me. I am so glad I did it.
In October Spencer, Chaylene, Jessica, and I are planning to go sky diving before Spencer goes on his mission. We will see if it even happens. But I am one step closer to sky diving.

    I know you hate falling. It was something else though. Why should I not go sky diving? Did you go on the sky coaster Mandy? I have bruises on my arm from it. As does Jessica who went.
