Love ferris wheels and roller coasters in general. the bigger and faster the better. The navy pier one looks too small. it needs to be gigantic like a big ass wisconsin wheel of cheese.
come on!!!
now D, why would it be like a wisconsin wheel of cheese when it’s in illinois?
now im not saying that the navy pier one specifically has to be the big one, i was saying in general that i want to ride a huge ferris wheel that would be the equivilant to the size of a wisconsin wheel of cheese, which to my understanding is frickin huge!
sweet shots! I am terrified of heights…
ok D. i’m assuming rb said something about a huge wisconsin wheel of cheese.
oh, the things rb says. you should ask to see her “book of dumb” sometime.
no. he’s on his own with that one.
Rachelle get back to color pics, i think it´s better for this pics with a lot of colors, don´t you?
