All Paper Arts

The girls and I went to Six Flags yesterday. Ahhh! Yep that is the reason for no post yesterday. My husband’s sister and niece and nephew are down from Washington. Since the kids are all getting older my sister in law was excited that we could take them some place other then indoor or outdoor playgrounds. So we went to Six Flags. I have learned that the little dare devil in me is gone. Not that I don’t want to still ride the big rides but because I couldn’t stand up to them. After going on one of my favorite rides, Batman, I became very dizzy. Needless to say my all time favorite loop de loop that I have been riding since I was seven was passed on to the younger generations to ride. We still had a great time. All together there were 15 of us. We found out we have some future thrill seekers when my seven year old and her seven old cousin decided they wanted to ride the big rides. I was scared for my daughter at first and wanted so bad to run over and yank her off when she decided she wanted to go on the ride that has two loops and you go forward on the ride only to end up doing the whole thing over backwards before getting off. She loved it and wanted to do it again. Both girls were extremely upset when they learned they weren’t tall enough for the Batman ride. After some coaxing my nine year old agreed to ride Batman and then was upset afterwards. Of course by the end of the night she was asking to ride it again. Even my 5 year old wanted to ride the big rides. After riding one of the older wooden rollercoaster’s she told me she didn’t want to ride anything with bigger hills. So when all of her sisters and cousins rode the loop de loop she kept looking at me with an evil eye because she was tall enough to ride. I had to keep explaining the drop was bigger before she decided she probably wouldn’t have been happy if she rode it. After closing the park down (we were there until 11 p.m.) we all went to IHOP (International House of Pancakes) to eat and finally got home at almost 2 in the morning.
As you can imagine today will be a very lazy day. As a matter of fact my 5 year old is the only besides me and the dogs awake. Once everyone wakes up I think we are going to just hang around and make some crafts. We are going to start with making some bead rings. Jummy has a great tutorial on her website we are going to follow.
