Midnight Hollow, The Ballan Family
Adam's Quest
After enjoying the cake it is time to ride the coaster. Birthday boy Drew goes first with Marshall.
"This is going to be so much fun Dad!" Drew remarks as they turn the first corner.

"Dad, that is a long way down! Are we going to fly out. There is no seat belt to keep us inside!"

"AaEeIi AAEEii AaEeIi" Drew yells as they plunge through the plums of water that are covering whatever lies below them. Marshall tries to reassure him but Drew is shouting too loud to hear him.

Kailena and her Dad are next. Adam takes his hands off the bars and raises them in the air. "Dad! Are you out of your mind! You better hold on tight!" Adam just grins as they take they plummet down the waterfall.

"Daaaaaaaad," shouts Kailena!

"We didn't die! Are all roller coasters like this?"
"They are all a little different in how they are designed."

Dylan and his Dad are next. They both hold the bars and Victor watches Dylan's face as it turns green. "I think I ate too much cake!"
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50752675041_7c1d7d429b_o.jpg
"oh, that's better now."
"I'm soaking wet. How about you?
"Yep, me too Dad!"
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50752675021_efe91a3b51_o.jpg
Drew gets his nerve up and takes his hands off the bar for the loop.

Kailena decides if her Dad can take his hands off so can she.
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50751941153_22713745ae_o.jpg
Victor takes his hands off the bar but Dylan holds on so tight his hands turn white, but his face is green again.

The tunnel of fire is next and Drew laughs at the giant spiders on the walls. "They are not real," he tells his Dad. He notices one is moving closer and closer to their cart. "Are they real Dad," he nervously questions Marshall?
"I sure hope not! Those spiders are humongous!"
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50752782157_1d3d265b7c_o.jpg
"Dad those flames are real. It is very hot in here. Wolves are very flammable! It's a good thing we got soaked from the water part."
"It sure is! Adam grins at Kailena who is still looking worried.
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50752782027_ef32586a57_o.jpg
Dylan is very worried going into the flames. "Dad, I'm a witch so the flames won't kill me, but you are a vampire. You better keep your hands and big shoulders in the cart."
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50751940953_49780823ba_o.jpg
Drew's ride is over. "Dad can we please go again. That was so much fun!"
"It's your birthday so of course. Do you want me to text your Mom and see if she wants to ride with you?"
"Oh yes, Mom will love it!"
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50751941273_b3da9ce470_o.jpg
Kailena claps when her ride is over. "That was so much fun Dad. Can we go again too."
"Sure, but let's see if Jillian, Josef, Lexie and Lucas want a turn first."
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50762088753_99f6756d54_o.jpg
Dylan gets off and promptly throws up. "Dad, I don't have to ride again do I? I think I ate too much cake."
Victor cleans up the mess. "No, I think we should go get some dry clothes and find your Mom. She can help you with your tummy ache. Jillian and Josef can ride with Lucas and Lexie and you and I will go play basketball."
Dylan hugs his Dad. "Thanks for going with me. Maybe next time I won't eat before riding a roller coaster."

Victor picks out some clothing for Dylan and himself and they go to the changing room to check the fit.
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50752781747_a34cb5d4ed_o.jpg
"My clothes fit Dad."
"Apparently the shop only sells shorts. That does not seem very proper." Victor peers at his image in the mirror not really liking what he sees.
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50752674861_7af149a3e8_o.jpg
He puts on the only black shirt the store has. He looks down at the little green alien on the front of the tank style shirt and sighs heavily. Dylan looks over at him and whispers, "Dad, do you think I'm going to have big muscles like yours when I'm grown up?"
"When you are a little older we can start a training program for muscles, but you are too young right now."
"Everything has to wait til I'm older Dad! I get tired of hearing that!"
Victor chuckles at his disgruntled son. "Let's go find your Mom and see if she can settle your stomach and perhaps turn this outfit into something proper, or dry my wet clothing with her magic."
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50751940788_b35e2f6bf1_o.jpg
Gardenia uses her magic to ease her son's nausea. She cannot take her eyes of her hunky husband in his shorts and tank though.
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50752781602_99789da533_o.jpg
"I'm sorry Victor, my magic will not change the clothes nor dry your wet things. Besides, you look very hot in the shorts and tank and I think we should keep this outfit." She bats her eyes flirting with him.
Victor loves her flirting despite how uncomfortable he feels in the shorts. "Hold that thought honey. I promised Dylan I would play basketball with him."
