That Moon Bloggy! My goodness. So she goes to Six Flags and has a terrific time.


Well the boys, 2 of there friends, my friend and their two daughters went to Alabama Adventure and had a terrific time. Unfortunately...our experiences with the roller coasters went a little differently...My 9 year old has yet to reach the minimum height limit for adult rides. Not only roller coasters were off limits but hell, so were the bumper cars. I mean the bumper cars, Come on!!! He's like 2 inches too short and they said no. Dude those 2 inches are made up by scooting forward in the seat and driving with your toes.
Shasam not until I recently got my new car did I stop driving with my toes. Seriously!!! I had a Saab I had to drive with a pillow behind my back and could still only touch the pedals with my toes. Then I had a Gallant...Same story. I didn't have a one eyed, one toothed button pusher operator leer at me and yell "Your too short you'll have to go over to the kiddie cars".
So...my fourth grade 9 year old, head hung in embarrassment and a scowl that could melt Mars walked away. Well more like huffed away, but same difference.


Besides these few moments we still had a blast.


We played in the wave pool. Rode all the water slides, which some he was too short for but the young kids working for the summer, some short, obviously remembered what it was like and let him ride anyways. We had a blast. Yes, I said we as you don't think Mom is actually going to stand on the side lines do ya. I even had to assure one of the little ones "Come on it'll be fun! Let's GO!"

We even participated in the dance party at the park it was great.

Let's see...a few highlights and stand out moments from the trip:
1) I am completely afraid of the swings. I got on them, thinking no big deal and to my astonishment was terrified. I was screaming and clinching the chains with all my might. I was as still as a deer in headlights. As if that wasn't embarrassing enough the little 9 year olds are ahead of me laughing and pointing at me with their arms flung out in airplane position. Dang those 9 year olds.

2) My older son and his friend got 2 phone numbers from girls. Not that this is encouraged by any means but hey...he got tow numbers. Listening to him talk in front of the girls, so suave and bold... I couldn't help but feel a little proud at the fact he wasn't shy at all in front of them.
Oh know what am I saying, I have got my hands full!

3)My sons are great swimmers and definitely hold their own. I love their independence. I am just so proud of them.

Well, we just had an all around great time! So there Moon Bloggy, we had a great time too! Na-na-na-na! LOL!

  1. lol... I didn't realize we were in competition for who could have the better time with their children. Hey, actually, that would be a really funny sitcom. These two rival couples going out of their minds trying to have the most fun with their kids and by the end of the show, the kids are like, "Our parents are psychos." lol.... Wait - I think that's been done before. Anyway - your 9 yr old would've had more fun at Six flags... He's not 42 inches yet?? That's how tall The Toot is...
