Take a trip Tuesday: Hollywood Connection

 For Christmas this year, we got 7 Peaks Passes for the first time.  We sure got our use out of them!  One of our favorite places to go was Hollywood Connection in West Valley.  The roller coaster was just the right size, we loved the little kiddy rides, but our favorite was the bumper cars.  Keaton, especially, LOVED this attraction.  He would grin ear-to-ear while he was slamming into us.  As soon as it was over, he'd run back around and get in line again.  I loved just watching his delight in driving his own car.  But don't be fooled by his angelic grin; he'd slam harder than anyone.
One funny story from this ride was when all the kids were in cars, and there was a particular little boy, about 9 years old, that kept trapping Brighton against the wall.  No matter how hard he tried to free himself, the kid kept him pinned.  So Brighton yelled to Savannah when she came near to help him.  She bumped the kid out of the way, freeing Brighton, but then he trapped her.  So she called to Irelynd to help.  Irelynd came over and bumped him out of the way, freeing Savannah.  They were both too smart to get pinned again, and let the poor kid have it.  We joke that he learned quickly that if you pick on one Henry, you pick on all of us (and especially don't mess with the redheads).  One good point about being from a big family!

Love the teaming up! What great siblings! This sounds like a fun place. I don't think I've heard of it. Is it part of 7 peaks? It sounds like you got your money's worth!
