My niece is so excited because she is finally 48 inches tall. This means that this year she is tall enough to get on a few roller coasters and rides that she was unable to do last year with our family vacationed in Orlando. Last night, her father noticed that she seemed a bit taller than usual, so he measured her and found out that she was exactly 48 inches. So this morning, she had her grandmother call my house so I can look up every ride that she can ride on at the park. Luckily for her, that means that she can also get on the newest attraction which is getting a lot of buzz. I completely understand how she is feeling. When I was younger, my mom and her sisters would always take the family to six flags. Their was a coaster called the Ninja that they would be able to ride but I couldn't because I was too short. Then one year I was finally tall enough to ride and it was a blast! Have you ever experienced reaching a point (being tall enough or enough) that you were finally able to do something that you could not do before? What was that moment? Can you relate?
