Went to Coney Island with the girls and a friend of theirs

[conuly]

Found out said friend doesn't really like roller coasters, and Eva really, really wants to ride the new Thunderbolt, so we're making another trip in August so they can both get what they want (more credits for games instead of an unlimited pass for the friend, more credits for "extreme thrill" coasters instead of the unlimited pass that doesn't cover the big moneymakers for Eva).

I found out this evening that while I was sitting on a bench reading and nursing my poor hip, Eva was going on the ride which flips you upside down and lets you hang out there for a few seconds. Had I known, I would possibly not have allowed this.
