Six Flags Great Adventure

 
Paul scored a good deal on tickets to Six Flags Great Adventure off of Craigslist, so we thought it would be a nice way to celebrate the survival of the first week of school.


 
This little guy was super good all day long.  He had a runny nose the last few days so the plan was to go and see how long we can last.  Surprisingly the day passed quickly.  We didn't leave until almost 7:30pm.

 
Waiting on Lana and Dad to ride the bumper cars.

 
Waiting on Dad and Tanner to ride a roller coaster.



 
Selfies with the big kids on the Merry Go Round


 
Paul enjoying a thrilling kiddy ride.

 
The kids playing air hockey at the arcade.

 
Hot Air Balloon ride.  I was slightly nauseous after riding this, the kids kept turning us around and around.  Ugh.

 
About to ride the his second roller coaster of the day!
 
So for the first ride I took Tanner on the Runaway Mine Train, which is a small size roller coaster.  I hate roller coasters, so I took Tanner so I wouldn't chicken out.  We were hollerin' the whole time, I think Tanner was borderline hysterical.  When we got of the ride, the first thing he said to me was, "Mom!  Why did you take me on that ride???  It was so scary!!!" Then he paused and said, "That was the most awesome ride ever!"  Totally made my day!

First Day of School 2013

 
A part of me can't believe it's already that time of year.  Another part of me is ecstatic for a few moments of peace and quiet.
 
 
First day of Kindergarten with Mrs. Rubin

 
First Day of Third Grade with Miss Wettengel

 
Tanner finally got to ride the bus after 3 long years of watching Lana ride without him.  He was really excited.

 
Someone was not very happy about being left behind.  He went down for an early nap.
