Wild Weekend!

This past weekend was our first opportunity to really spend time together just as a family since we've been back in TX. It was great! Chris, my lovely spontaneous husband, calls me on Fri and says, "Let's go to Six Flags tomorrow." OK! He gets great deals on stuff through his job, so this isn't the huge hit on the wallet that it could be! So we get up Saturday morning and decide to get some yummy breakfast before we leave town. Herschel's in Palestine has fabulous breakfast, so we were ready to scarf some down! Joshua, however, had another plan. He whined the whole time, got syrup and eggs on my clothes, and poked me in the eye with a syrupy fork! Great way to start the day!

Then we're off to Arlington. Caleb is soooo excited! He went to Six Flags with MeMaw and Papa during the summer, so he's pumped. Finally, we make it! We didn't think it would be very crowded since it's not peak season, and Fright Fest hadn't started yet. So not true! Not only was it season pass member appreciation weekend, but there was some HUGE muslim family celebration thing going on! TONS of people there. Caleb didn't have to face long lines last time, so that took some getting used to. Joshua will not go back until he's bigger! He thinks he's a big kid and should get to ride everything that Caleb did, so we had some breakdowns there. It really was a super fun day! Caleb is big enough to ride some "big boy" rides, and he was so excited. He even got to ride the Judge Roy Scream! Chris said he was scared at first, but was cackling after the first hill! My boy is fearless!

Then we stopped by the Parks mall for a second so I could go to Lifeway. Next door was Halloween USA, so we went in and got costumes! Caleb is going to be Bumblebee (transformers), and Joshua is Batman. So darn cute! They had to try on the costumes as soon as we got home!

Sunday we spent the day with my family. Dad's birthday was Friday, so we had a big dinner Sun evening. Love my mommy's cooking! It's always nice to hang out with cousins and grannies (and I guess my brother) too! It was a great weekend!
