Six Flags Fun

By Amity -
Mac really wanted to visit the Jelly Belly factory, so on our way to Six Flags yesterday we stopped for a tour.  All the kids loved seeing how "jelly beans" were made and of course thought all the "free" jelly beans were awesome.  After the tour we were off to Six Flags.

The kids loved Six Flags, the boys rode a whole bunch of rides together.  Brian isn't as much of a thrill seeker as Mac, so I got to ride several big roller coasters with him.  I realized I'm getting old and my love of coasters isn't what it use to be but hearing the laughter and excitement from Mac makes it all so worth it!  We had to stand in line for some of the coasters about 30 minutes, aftwards Mac would so "that was so worth it, it was awesome"!  One of the coasters took our picture, Mac is laughing with his hands up...he just loves the thrills. He rode a water ride with Jan and got soaked, thought that was hilarous too!

Emily loved the variety of rides but she was a little sad she wasn't big enough to ride some of the ones the boys were doing.  The boys didn't like the "carousel" they had to ride for Emily (see the lack of excitement in their faces) but they were good at all working together.  Emily had her picture taken with a character, then freaked out at Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck.  Overall it was an awesome day with some tired kids who all passed out on the way home!

Friday night Christina came out from LA to hang with us. John headed out early Saturday morning to spend a week fishing in Mexico with Jimmy for his 40th birthday!  Saturday Christina and the kids played almost all day long.  From shooting targets with Mac to being a princess, then playing Zombies with the kids and lots of Uno....all before lunch!  We hung out at the pool for a little in the afternoon, then met Mike and Sarah for some dinner and arcade games.  What an awesome way to end our last night with Grandma Cheryl, Mike and Christina.  I think everyone had a blast and I think Christina slept pretty well Saturday night!!!!!!

The forecast for today was a high of 100 degrees with humidity so what else is there too do on a hot day but hit the movies. I surprised the kids with lunch then we went and saw Toy Story 3 in 3D, the kids loved it. Emily did much better than I expected and only got bored the last 20 minutes or so. Mac of course couldn't take his eyes off the movie.
