Six Flags: 2011

**Warning: Picture overload (okay, who am I kidding...every post is a picture overload!)

The three boys earned free Six Flags tickets for reading at school this year...so, off we went!

Graysen got to spend the day with her Grandma sewing skirts! She was so excited about it and came home with two precious new skirts!


Bless my Sister and Chad for going with us! They are such good sports, and Lincoln and I know that they will always take good care of our children (and luckily for us, that means not only have fun with them, but train them in the way they should go as well!).



There were only two things that the boys were not tall enough to ride this year, and one of them was the Batman. Chad and Lincoln rode that first thing when we got there, and as the boys were watching them, Silas made a comment that went something like this:

"Roller Coasters are no big deal. If I slip out I'll just hang on there and do it like monkey bars at school."

I quickly informed him that he had no idea what he was up against and that he was going to pee. his. pants.

(Confession time: sometimes I get very frustrated with the twins and they're attempt to "make up" for their lack of knowledge about America and all of the crazy things that we have here. They tend to act like they know everything and like they are all "big and bad" when I know they are clueless. Really, I just wish they were secure enough with me to admit their insecurities rather than trying to make up for it in other ways. Boo.)

Anyway...back to Six Flags.

We didn't wait long...we headed right over to the Ninja!

Although they didn't actually pee their pants, I sure thought they were going to! They were terrified, but after the ride ended the adrenaline kicked in and they were hooked! Chad made the comment at one point during the day that Blake was an adrenaline junkie...totally accurate!

Such a good picture of Blake and his Daddy!

I'm soooo glad Chad was there! He was up for any ride (and sometimes the same ride several times!). Lincoln gets a bit nauseous after a few, and I get a splitting headache (as does Kara), so he was definitely our saving grace!

Family picture time!

The boys were not so much diggin' the Looney Toons part of the park (designed for younger kids). They rode a few rides just to keep riding!

My favorite picture from the day!

Lincoln's skunk eye...I think Kara gets this way too often from him!

This is probably my face every time I catch him giving it to her too!

Yeah, we still have fun........

Hunter and I both ended up with a massive headache, so we spent the last half hour of our day in a restaurant eating cheese fries and resting in the air.
