Six Flags

Sooooooooooooooooooooo excited.   The kids are beside themselves with anticipation as we wake up this morning.  Today we head to San Antonio.  San Antonio is cool and all, but why are they sooooooooooooooooooo excited?  Two words:  Six Flags.  Or two other words:  Fiesta Texas.  It reminds me of Kings Island in Ohio.  The anticipation, in retrospect, was probably the best part.  I couldn't sleep the night before as I thought about the roller coasters, the spinning cups, the cotton candy, the corn dogs on a stick ... oh yeah.  And seeing that excitement in my kids' eyes and smiles and goofy dances and singing makes me even more excited to head to Six Flags Fiesta Texas today.  We went last year this time, but they were too small to ride the "big" rides.  This year will be different for them entirely.  Can't wait.  I just can't wait.

Our Haunted Castle

Tonight our family created a Haunted Castle.  I had to post a pic with the original picture.  Of course ours looks much better!  The kids had a blast.  I think they had more fun licking the icing and eating the candy.  Believe it or not, a lot made it onto the castle.  We really got in the mood with scary music and then enjoyed watching the kids dance and act like crazy monkeys as the sugar kicked into high gear!
