Disneyland: Cole the Scaredy Cat

 Cole was a hoot to take on rides at Disneyland. This kid wanted nothing to do with any kind of roller coaster, anything that spinned, flipped, or twirled!! So basically any ride in the whole entire parks was off limits to this guy. Well not really. I did get him to go on Big Thunder Mountain once. He cried so hard, and the girls in front of us kept turning around and laughing at him. Is it bad that I got a good laugh out of it too? He was so happy to get to solid ground afterwards. He HATED the farris wheel as you can tell from the video below. Benson on the other had LOVED it. And the tea cups were ok to ride as long as we didn't spin them to much. On the last day Cris finally talked him into going on Splash Mountain. He said he did good until the final assent and he told Cris that he wanted to get out before they had to go down. Poor kid cried on that one too.
The sheer terror on his face in this picture is priceless!!
Here's a closer view, holding on for dear life!
He found a ride that he could handle! Dumbo, or course as long as dad didn't steer it up and down too much.
This kid was the happiest, at the happiest place on earth, as long as he was on solid ground!! Maybe next time we go he will like the rides more.

Poor Cole! We took our kids on space mtn as the first ride of the day one time & it ruined them for the rest of the day. They came off it crying & I could only laugh on the inside. :)
