6 Flags on the Fun O Meter

We took the boys to Six Flags yesterday. Nugget had never been there before. Pickle has but being only 5 at the time, didn't remember it at all. So they were both pretty excited to go. We had a blast. The weather was in the 70's and the park wasn't all that busy. The longest they had to wait for anything was 20-30 min. It was a great day. They thought they were to cool to get pictures taken with most of the characters but I did manage to convince them into a few.



They even found a little time to fight crime...

Don't worry, we had our fun too...


Where else can you walk around all day with your clothes soaked and hair a mess all day and really not care? It was a nice little relaxing get away.

Rainy 4th of July

Wow...really been neglecting the blog lately. It's hard to find time to blog these days. I guess I'll start with the most recent festivities...the 4th of July. Unfortunately, I don't have a ton of pics or any exciting stories. The day pretty much consisted of a house full of people rotating positions from the porch to the inside. It rained from the time I woke up until shortly before fireworks started. Thankfully we still got to see the show. Here are a few pics from the day...

I did get off the porch for a short while for the parade...

That's me under the big green umbrella trying to spot the boys in the parade.

Pickle's the one in the black hoodie handing out treats.


Then there's Nugget who decided to take it easy and ride the float. Oh, and whip candy at people. I got clocked with a few handfuls.


After that it was a whole lot of hanging out...



Eating...

Napping...

Singing...

and just plain silliness...


Wish I would have captured everyone but like I said...it was mostly sitting around. Couldn't think of a better group to be stranded with though. Thanks again for spending the day with us guys!
