Just Put Your Hood Up!

When our girls were little we really wanted them to try new things, not to be afraid and let fear stop them, knowing that if they would try things that scare them (like a fast ride) that they would like it and want to experience more. I have to admit we have often times pushed our kids to do things even when they have been reluctant. Well the girls will do just about anything, and Jake, well he has always followed along going with the flow of our family, I never really worry that he will be afraid. While in California we rode the Tower of Terror this ride drops you 13 stories, it is crazy and fun. As we were getting on this ride Jake was a little nervous, I told him that I have a trick that helps me whenever I get scared, I just put my hood up, or as Bill calls it put your lid on. It makes you feel warm safe and protected. I swear it works I know it is sounds crazy. We decided as a family to all put our hoods up, and the funny thing was that the family behind us decided to join us. When we looked at the picture we thought that was hilarious. So when life throws you a whirl don't run and hide, just put your hood up and carry on!
