2 year old daredevil

So, Avery has no fear of rides or rollercoasters. She was more scared of seeing the characters up close than of any thrill ride. Since she is in the 95th percentile for height she was able to go on almost any ride. She was exactly 40" tall with shoes on, which is the minimum height requirement for most rides.
For me, the absolute best part of our trip to Disneyland was riding Thunder Mountain Railroad with Avery. Jenni, Avery and I were able to sit three wide in the car, and Avery sat in the middle. When the ride started I was worried she would get scared. Right off the bat, the ride goes into a dark tunnel with bat eyes and everyone started screaming. That made Avery put a Kung Fu grip on the bar in front of her, but she didn't get scared. Jenni and I spent the whole ride just watching her expression as she laughed, smiled, and giggled. By the end of the ride, when she heard people screaming and hollering, she chimed in and gave a scream or two. Jenni and I were cracking up so hard, we kept looking at each other and laughing. For me that was the highlight of the trip. No pictures of Thunder Mountain Railroad, but here she is on the Teacups...she thought that was pretty fun. She obviously doesn't have the same trouble with motion sickness as her Grandpa.
