Wednesday this week we took a little road trip out to Vallejo to the 6 Flags there! I LOVE that park! It's a little smaller than some of the other amusement parks, and it's very zoo-esque with all the animals, and it's right on a lake, and it was so fun! :) And let me tell ya, going in the middle of the week is definitely the way to go - hardly any lines! And the weather was perfect, not too hot, not too cold.
I love my little map-readers. As soon as we got there, they were mapping out their plan of attack. (On a side note, do you see how their shirts are very different from the ones they wore in the post above?!?!)
More map-reading and plan of attacking!!
The girls.....
Daryle asked me yesterday, "Um isn't she a little young for wanting to be so girly and wear all the pretty jewelry stuff?" I said, "No, she's the perfect age....." Ni'ke is in full-on girly phase and accessorizes if she's going to the PARK. She likes to do her own hair, and her outfit selections are only moderately more toned down. She's our little high-fashion avant-garde creative artist. I asked her the other day what she wanted to be someday when she grew up and she said without hesitation, "A musical prodigy." (Actually she said "prog-idy" :-)
Aren't my sunglasses cool??!! Well, they fell OUT of my pocket where I carefully placed them...
On THIS ride!!!! The new Superman ride was awesome - probably best ride I've been on and for sure the best ride there! It was ridiculous. Oh, I lost all the loose change in my pockets, too.
Ma-lak giving the dolphins a "hug"
More map-readin' - I think he was looking for Medusa.....
The butterfly house was beautiful! We didn't stay in there too long because it was very warm and Rea thought it smelled funny. (She was right.)
"Thrilla Gorilla!" We waited for the little ones awhile on this one - they had to ride it twice. So to entertain ourselves, my husband and I made each other giggle by saying "thrilla gorilla" over and over in the voice of the Copy Man on Saturday Night Live. Circa 1990 or something. hehe
Waiting in lines and exercising patience does not come easily for most of our children.... Or for us either for that matter. Hmmm......
Ice cream time!
I like these pictures of the park as the sun was setting! A fun day.... And yes, they were all asleep before we were even out of the parking lot!!
