Still shots bungee jumping

Lauren is really enjoying herself.
Olivia was trying to jump before the cords were completely pulled up.

Bungee Jumping!!

I am soooo... sorry that you have to tilt your head 90 degrees to the right to see the video. The girls were jumping vertically, so I turned the camera over while taking pictures and forgot to switch back when I went to video mode. If Dale knows how to change it to a vertical view for everyone, I'll have him fix it, but it was too great to leave out.

I guess I should tell you a little about this. My mom called me up yesterday morning to see if we would join her at the Alameda County Fair. We had nothing going on, so went along and had a blast. The girls were a little irritated that the county fair wasn't ALL rides and they couldn't go on the ones they did have. I was going to say yes to the carosel until I saw that it was $4 to ride it. What a rip-off! Instead I spent $4 over and over again on many useful sweets (aka strawberry supreme funnel cake, 1 dozen mini donuts (made with a really cute mini donut factory), strawberry lemonade, ice cream (Grandma's $), etc.). If any of you know Olivia, that's not good enough; she wanted to ride a ride---and it better be a good one! Well, the pony ride was tempting, but I thought too boring for $6/child. The spiderman "thing" was too scary (think falling through about 5 big "webs" from 2 stories high)...no way! And then there it was, a mechanical bull. Oh, it looked so fun. I wanted to ride it and see how long I could last...oops I mean they (the girls). They weren't having any of that...next. Ooh! I'm the one that spotted it, then Olivia, then Lauren's eyes lit up (suprisingly to me, I might add). It was this ultimate bungee jumping. Watch the video to see how much fun. Olivia ended up going so high because the worker was pulling on the cord and she LOVED it! Neither of them wanted it to end, but it did. Too bad! At least they got their ride and Lauren didn't throw up either.
