Is there any better way to learn about the ever-cheerful and fun-loving Zach than to spend a day with him at an amusement park? Particularly if it involves trains?
Zach and I spent a special day at Knott's Berry Farm over his winter break, and he was thrilled to have a chance to ride the mine train and the steam engine again. But he had never ridden on the log ride before, and my suggestion to ride on it was kind of a lark. You do get a little wet, of course, but it was plenty warm not to be worried about it.
So we went down and...zing! Wheeee! It's hard to describe what a total revelation it was for him. He was completely electrified. I wanted to hold his hand just to get a little piece of his energy. He was jumping up and down, whooping and grinning, and begging to do it again. And again. And again. And again.
You probably don't think of me as much of a log ride person, but his enthusiasm was so contagious that even
I was having a great time. I wanted to take pictures or videos or something to document just how thrilled he was, but it was hard to get either of us to hold still enough to capture the moment. You'll just have to go by the crazed look on his wet face, and take my word for it.
That is one happy guy.
