Our 3day Dallas Vacation

Monday we started off with taking Zoe to our great friends house for a day of fun with her friends and celebrating birthdays(Zoe is too small for anything at 6 flags so we arranged for a fun day for her while we were gone). We said our goodbyes actually we dropped her off and couldn't ind her to say goodbye. She was so excited and she can't wait for another day with her friends.

We made our way to six flags and had a blast. We did water rides to keep us cool and stayed in the shade or A/C restaurants as much as possible. Sam thought we were going the wrong way when we got to the parking lot. On of the rides is by itself and is across the parking lot entrance you actually go under the road to get to it when in the park. She saw it and her eyes got real big and then she was disappointed because we drove right past it. KC got to ride the Tony Hawk ride and loved it. We all enjoyed the day and were so excited to get back in the car and return home to get Zoe.

Tuesday was a relaxing day. We walked through the Dallas World Aquarium. This was fun by all. the kids all commented on different things. Zoe wanted to see an elephant fish(or something of the sort) but we had no luck. I was able to help her find a fish that looked like it was dancing and she loved it. We now have a fish dance. Every time I counted heads I could never find JoshlynnWhen I did find her She was curled up reading the info book that we got at the beginning of our tour. She would view and then read view and read. She wanted to gain as much knowledge as she could. We then enjoyed wonderful burgers at Red Robin. Let me just say that If you have not tried Mango Mayo you are missing out on a fabulous thing. Scott had everything on his burger and it look disgusting but he was very satisfied. We ended our evening with the movie Space Chimps and a walk around Firewheel town center. The movie is funny and clean.

Wednesday was a hot but wet day for us. We had a great visit from our friends due to the sprinkes that fell out of the sky. they were wondering about playgroup and I am the info person on that. It was a great visit and much laughter as Scott through them in the pool. We sent them on there way in wet clothes and smiles to last a long hot day. We got our swim suits on and headed for the water park. I set our stuff down and went to check on the kids sunblock application(they all said they put it on when we were in the car) but everyone was gone and on the slides and in the water. I went down one of the slides with KC. It was a race and KC says"winner gets to pick next slide" I laugh and reply with "oh honey I think I will win but if I don't I'm not going on any other rides only this one" Lucky for me I won and went down with him again. I diddo the half pike with him later that day and it was a last. We also enjoyed Scott and Dan going on the half pike. We planned on staying until closing(7:00pm) but the park got closed down an hour early due to Health department closing them down to treat the water for Cryptosporidiosis.
We got 5 tickets for a future date and made it home to relax adn to do research on cryptosporidiosis. We had a great 3 day vacation and had a great time sharing it with Scotts Dad.

He rewarded the kids a little for reading this summer. I think we wore him out but we loved having him tag along with us and encouraging the kids do work hard.
