The Inverter

Katie has been entertaining her friend Jenny this week before they both go off to Europe together. I'll be staying home to feed the dogs. As a last hurrah to Tacoma, we took Jenny to the Taste of Tacoma, a Farewell Girls Tradition.

Did you know that there are carnival rides at the Taste? Well I do because Katie tries to coerce me onto them every year. Me, I have a fear of heights. More accurately I have a fear of gravity and hard landings. But this year Katie had Jenny & Jenny wanted to go on the Inverter. Katie wasn't thrilled about the prospect, but being a good sport & a good friend, she went along.

Don't they look happy?



Now this is where Katie is starting to get a bit nervous (I would have been passed out at this point).



I think they are about to flip upside down again.



I am not sure if the hanging upside down, or the free fall was Katie's most favorite part.



Can you tell?

Oh, I wish I had known about the rides--what fun!! Great pics--ahh, almost makes me feel like I was on the ride too.

Best travels to Katie--she will have good thoughts coming her way from Seattle...
