We decided to celebrate the New Year by going to Magic Mountains New Year party. We didn't get there till about 5:00 p.m as we knew it would be a long evening. When we first got there the weather was so warm, we had to carry our jackets, but as the evening went on, it got colder and colder. It was so cold, that it was tempting to go home, but we were determined to make it to the new year.

The older kids went off on their own to ride the big roller coasters. Mike and I used to enjoy this too, but now we were content to stay with Colin and watch him on the little rides, and join him on the moderate ones. One we can all enjoy is the Scrambler, we took turns accompanying Colin, and even got a date ride, when Colin wanted to ride on his own.

The biggest roller- coaster that Colin was allowed on was the Gold Rush. He was hesitant to try it , but soon got to like it. He wanted to sit in the same spot each time, which was easy because it was a walk on or even stay on ride. We rode this ride about 10 times!

Colin's favorite ride was the Pirate Ship. You were allowed to ride as many times as you wanted so long as you weren't in the back row. We did get a few turns at the very back, but were content to sit on the next row and have multiple turns.

The video is short and dark,but it's the best I have!
