The Seventh and Eighth Days

This day we all split up. This is what Mom, Sue, Andy, Grandma and Zoe did.


Zoe's definitely got rhythm




Who wouldn't want a big, round, fluffy lady bug?




Zoe needed to go through all of her new clothes

Then Ryan, Issa and I went to Six Flags.


In line for the Superman ride. It was an hour wait. The longest we had. It was a fun ride, but not worth that kind of wait! Ryan and I went on this one. I'm proud to say that I went on every ride Ryan did.

We went on the Dark Knight next, which was kind of a waste of time.


Lunch was ok. It might have been better if we hadn't had to listen to some crappy karaoke!



After lunch we went on the American Eagle roller coaster. It was a longer wait and I know that the ride bounced my brain around in my head.


How cute are these tea cups?

Ryan and I then went on the Raging Bull roller coaster twice. The second time Issa came too. Then we went on the Demon roller coaster which was no line and rather surprisingly fun. The Batman roller coaster was next and the most miserable wait. It said we were entering the bat cave, but really it was a two story, black, enclosed, metal staircase tunnel that was above ground and did I mention it had no air circulation? It was awful! The ride was fun though. Melissa didn't go on either of these roller coasters.

We then went on Raging Rapids and the log run. Both were wet rides. We ended up with four adults and one child in our log. Can you imagine the splash we made? Lastly, we went on the swings to dry off.


We took this picture for Victoria, because she loves Tweety


Views from the parking lot. The Raging Bull in the red one and you can also see part of American Eagle behind it and just the crest of Batman on the left.


The Superman is the one behind us.


We met up with everyone at John Barleycorn for dinner. I don't know if I was more hungry or thirsty. I drank five glasses of water and ate a very large philly cheese steak sandwich.




We came back to the house for dessert and to chat. These two silly boys decided that they needed to show off their guns.

The next day we packed, shopped at Woodfield mall, ate lunch at Portillo's with dessert at Culver's. Then we all headed off to the airport and all six of us were together on the flight home. We arrived back around 6:30 pm. And thus ends our marvelous vacation!

Yum Portillo's. . .. drool. I have lots of good memories of "Six Flags" but it was Great America when my memories were made and it seemed very very far away.

Looks like you have a fabulous vacation! I was happy to see your Mom back today - especially when she had Avery, Savannah and Ada sing in Sunday School. So sweet.
