SIX FLAGS

I'm part genius, part irresponsible mom.

I decided a couple of weeks ago that I would take Landry out of school yesterday (irresponsible mom part) and take her to Six Flags (genius part). Landry has been wanting to go to Six Flags for a while now, and since most of the DFW area schools are in session until the end of this week, I thought it would be a good time to go. And, it was! Our friends Beth and Luke went with us and we had a great time together. The park wasn't crowded at all--we pretty much walked onto every ride with no waiting in line.

The only bummer was that some of the rides that Landry wanted to ride were closed--like the ShockWave. But, she was eager to ride a big roller coaster and ended up riding the Flash Back, which went upside down six times! She had such a blast! Of course, I didn't get any pictures of her on the big coasters because 1) I was securing my belongings like they nicely asked us to do and 2) I was hanging on to my safety bars for dear life--I was way more scared than Landry.

However, I did get some pics from our day.....

The four of us




First ride!




10 and 2, Landry!!!

You're the best mom ever! I would have died and gone to Heaven, had my mom done that for us.

I'm sure she had a blast! What great planning, going before the summer heat and crowds. How fun.

Ugg..I dread those days, lol. I used to love them, but I seem to have gotten out of the roller coaster phase of my life. I know one day Lila is going to force me to go to Six Flags...and I'm already dreading it.

You are a genius! Not irresponsible at all, we call that creative around these parts!! And I recognize that restaurant in the last picture!

What a blast! My parents took my boys to Six Flags a few weeks ago, and they loved it. Love that you skipped school! How naughty!
