Father Figures: Roller Coaster Ride

“This has to be one of my favorite photos with my kids. We were at an amusement park, and they were less than psyched when it came to getting on a roller coaster. I knew I had to at least convince one of them to take this step. I had to have someone in my family to ride coasters with, and I cannot afford any more kids, so this was the big push. I figured it would be best to ease into it. I proposed the kiddie area to get them started. This made sense in theory, but it was more difficult to put into action. They agreed, and I was soon folding myself in half to get on this orthopedic nightmare. They had a blast, as made apparent in this photo, and we later went on every coaster we could. #dadwin”
