ALTON TOWERS

Yesterday (Friday) we took on Alton Towers AND survived. Alton Towers is UK's largest theme park and the adrenalin junkie (Sofie) was out in full swing dragging Mummy dearest along with her on all of the rides. We had an absolute ball laughing and screaming all the way. The only condition was that Sofie was not allowed to bale on me at the last minute and leave me to go it alone. We pinky promised on this one. Oh, and I wasn't going on any rides where I would get wet and end up freezing for the day. It was touch and go with the "Oblivion" as to whether we'd actually ride with 1) the rain, and 2) the fear, but we did it and it ROCKED! See video here.















Jayden had a go on his very first roller coaster, only with Dave not telling him what it actually was. But as you can see he loved it.















"Nemesis" was our favourite ride. According to Sofie it was pretty awesome. See video here.















Lastly, no-one listened to me when I said, "if you get wet, you'll be freezing." The video shows it all. Click here.
