Yes, we went again...

As you can see, we went to Six Flags again this week. We tried to go to the Zoo on Wednesday and Thursday, only to get to the turn lane and to be directed across the street to park. Yes, the Ft. Worth zoo hit their all-time attentance records for visitors on Wed. and Thurs. so we turned the car around and did something else!! The thought of being at the zoo with 17, 000 other people (yes, that is how many went on Wednesday) was just too much for us. We have passes and can go anytime, why fight the crowds? We took Grace to Academy sports on Wednesday and got her a bat and a pair of cleats for softball. She started practices this week and is really enjoying herself. Aaron has been going with her and helping coach and he really likes it and loves being with Grace and playing a sport. That is Aaron and the girls in the picture, although I didn't know that there was that huge shadow there until I just looked...I think you can click on the photo and see them better in a big picture....

Thursday, Aaron started building me a Harding swing. Yes, my very own swing and it is almost done, we just have to put a few touches on it and it will be ready to swing in this afternoon. We keep getting distracted by the good weather and Six Flags!! We worked on the swing yesterday morning (Friday) and then decided to go to Six Flags around 2....it was great because most of the people with kids our age were getting tired of being there by that point and we were just getting started!! Both girls actually wanted to see Porky Pig this visit, so that was cute. They have "Looney Tunes Land" for the little ones and that is where we spend most of our time, right now, anyway. Of course, our girls don't watch Looney Tunes, so they have NO idea who any of these characters really are, Grace kept asking their names and what they all do on the cartoons....they just know Porky because Aunt Jess bought them a DVD of Porky cartoons a few years ago. I guess we need to find some good Bugs cartoons so they will go and see some of the other characters when we go next time!

Grace begged us to play a game, so we told her she could spend her own money to play and she did just that!! She picked the dart throwing game and she won this little Nemo look-a-like stuffed animal. Of course, Sus had to play too, so we had to shell out 2 bucks for her because she didn't bring her little purse to the Flags....

This is what happens when you let Grace have the camera. Sus had just gotten in trouble for locking the back door (while we were out there working on the swing and she had gone inside) and started crying. Grace wanted to document the fact that Susie actually does get in trouble sometimes and it's not always Grace's fault all the time....it was pretty funny so I had to add it to the group.
