This weekend I had one of the most memorible trips a mother could ever possibly have!!!! We took the youth of our church to Six Flags in St. Louis for Pastor Dwayne's 50th B-day ~ & Drew went!!!!! He had a blast!!!! Here is how it went.....
Drew wakes up @ 5:15 to get dressed & then we are out the door to take Ryleigh to Janie's house for a super LONG shopping spree.... I'll blog more on that later. On the way to drop Drew off though he starts in on what we are actually doing that day because he is yet to figure out what we are talking about. So here we are in the car, it's dark because it's not yet time for NORMAL people to be awake & Drew is looking out the window & asks, "Mom when we get to Six Flags park can I feed the ducks?" OK so all these talks were in vain & we are back to square 1 on what Six Flags really is.
5:35 ~ we are in the parking lot of the church unloading all our stuff: bag, stroller, car seat, toy bag. And Drew tells Ashley (one of my dearest friends) that the moon & stars are out but it really is morning ~ he HAD determined that he was NOT going back to sleep even if the sun was being slow about coming up!
6:15 ~ We leave the church parking lot & are on our way to St. Louis ~ well Drew is still trying to understand this day full of fun that I have tried to prepare him for so on the ride down there ~ since he wouldn't sleep ~ I decided to pick his brain to see if he actually understood what Six Flags was. So we are in the bus & I ask ~ "Drew, where are we going?" He responds, "Six Flags". Ok, so then I get braver and ask, "So what are we going to do when we get there?" ~ without missing a beat he chims back, "Hold them!" Ok so he knows there are going to be FLAGS and thinks we are going to just parade around with them all day???? I don't know ~ anyway he's STILL not getting it ~ but how could he really ~ he's 3 & NEVER done anything like this before.
8:30 ~ Drew is fighting the urge to fall asleep ~ he's looking out the window & telling me EVERYTHING he sees. Then he sees a barn & says ~ "Mom, see that farm? They have cows looks!!!!" I acknowledge that I see the barn/farm & the cows & then he exclaims, "See those brown cows ~ they got chocolate milke!" I of course about fell out of my seat at the fact that he had in his own mind determined that we get chocolate milk from brown cows!!!!!
9:30 ~ Drew FINALLY gives up the NO SLEEP campaign & doses off!
10:00 ~ we pull into the Six Flags parking lot & Pastor Dwayne barely slows down & his little eyes pop open & he shouts, "I see the Six Flags" then he proceeds to count them to make sure we are in fact at our right destination ~ well ~ we are he then decideds!!!!!
10:05 ~ we are out of the bus & on our way to the gate ~ then it happens ~ Drew sees Bugs Bunny, Scooby Do, Daffy Duck, Sylvestor the Cat, Batman & Robin & GOES CRAZY!!!! Pulling me toward the gate ~ he is so excited he can not stand it.
We enter the park & after catching Scooby Do to get a quick picture
We head to the kiddy park area ~ away from the Batman :( ~ the 1st ride we come to is the swings ~ so Drew runs to that
After the swings we were off to the cars....
Next was the little carousel...
Then it happened ~ Drew saw the "train" & wanted to ride it ~ I explained it was not a "train" it was a roller coaster & he wanted to ride it anyway ~ so here is the picture of his 1st roller coaster ride & guess where he runs to sit????? IN THE 1st CAR ~ on his FIRST coaster ride ~ what will the outcome be???....

Yea Drew!!! What a big boy you have, Tammy!! That is sooo awesome!!!
Chris and I took Michael, Paul, and Brenda to Six Flags in Atlanta this summer, and this was the first time any of them had ever been. They had a WONDERFUL time!! Michael of course was big enough to ride every ride in the park... Paul and Brenda could ride everything but 4 rides, and so that wasn't too bad. So.. we all had a BLAST!!!
Glad to see that Choo-Choo had such a great 50th birthday celebration, and that you all survived Six Flags.
love ya, Misty
