A group of students were making plans to go to Alton Towers (the largest theme park in England) for a Saturday outing. Since we were welcome to join them, we decided to give it a go while we are still 'young enough'. Since we are quickly aging, we'll probably not be able to take advantage of these opportunities much longer.
Gotis Revival Country House on the property.
Beautiful grounds as we walked from ride to ride.
Staying together as a group the whole day and being with lots of young people, we of course went on the most daring and scary rides. 
While standing in those long lines, we often thought we must be crazy, as we would see the track we would soon be on. What in the world had we gotten ourselves into - but once we were locked in those seats, there was no turning back. 
However we did enjoy the fellowship with the group as we waited patiently for our turns. It was fun to put the mirror and aching joints aside for the day - forget our gray hair and act like teenagers again!! Looking back, we are glad we did it, after all we are not yet 60!!
Ending with one of the calmer rides.
We got home that evening just in time to attend the wedding shower for James Attwood and Grete Rosvik. Since they will be married in Norway in July, we were all happy to celebrate with them now while they are still here in England.
