Off to Camp and Six Flags!

Today was a busy day for the girls!  Sarah and Brittany left for Girls Camp this morning and were very excited.  They really love to go and have a blast with their friends.  We hope they didn’t forget anything!  Carmen went off for a day at Six Flags Great America and was also very excited to go.  She has never been to anything like this and said she wasn’t sure she’d like the coasters and such but she had a wonderful time.  More on that later…

Zach has been having a BALL with his new Disney digital camera.  The thing he likes the best about the camera, is that he can put disney and other characters in the pictures with those he is taking pictures of.  Here is an example of his artistic work with Eeyore and Carmen!  🙂  He takes pictures of everyone.  That is keeping him very busy.

After everyone was dropped off and it was just Angela, Kirstyn, and the boys, they went back home and for a little while, Kirstyn was on a cleaning kick…  She cleaned up the basement and tidied other things.  Too bad she didn’t get to her room!  🙂  Angela even took advantage of the moment and scheduled her an hour-long massage!  What a treat for her!  She left after I got home from work and we surprised her with a cleaned-up garage and house when she got home. 

Carmen got back home at about 11:45pm (a very long day).  She was very hungry because she didn’t get dinner.  She only took $20 with her for food but ended up buying a Fast Pass to get through the lines faster and that cost $15 (which all the kids did).  Without it, she would have had to wait for up to 2 hours in line for each ride.  The park was very crowded.  So she and I talked about Six Flags while she ate her dinner (brownies and a drink) at midnight!  🙂  She said she had a GREAT time and her favorite attractions were Raging Bull and American Eagle.  She also rode on many more which she enjoyed as well.  She got excited, ran upstairs and got her map of Six Flags, and she outlined everything she did.  It was very cute!  What was very funny was to watch her facial expressions as she described her experiences on the rides!  🙂 Here are some pictures…  The first picture (to the left) is of the giant drop (which you will never see me on 🙂 although Brittany and Angela love this), the second is of the American Eagle coaster, the third is of Raging Bull, and the fourth is of the Superman ride.
