Six Flags day!

Yesterday Elektra and I walked to church. I am enjoying the beautiful weather. I might as well take advantage of it, so we are spending as much time as we can outdoors. After Church Leonard & Michelle took Elektra and I to Six Flags Discovery Kingdom. http://www.sixflags.com/discoveryKingdom/rides/index.aspx Its in Vallejo, CA. Its a 135 acre amusement park. Lots of stuff for little ones and a few good coasters. Elektra loves rides, and had no problem going on any of them. If she had been able to, she would of ridden every single ride there, including the big coasters! This one spins (like Disney TeaCups) and when Leonard slowed it down thinking that maybe she was getting dizzy, she said "spin faster daddy!!" and tried to do the spinning herself! This Tree Frog ride looked like a lot of fun. The Frogs hop up and down while they go around. Elektra had the biggest grin the entire ride! She even held her hands up just barely holding on to Leonards fingers. We could not figure out this poor pathetic looking camel. Its back legs and knees practically crossed themselves, while the front legs were spread horrifically apart. It couldn't even lift its head very high and his humps were deformed. I felt bad for him. Michelle and Elektra went on a balloon ride that went up high and spun. Michelle, Elektra and I went to see the butterflies while Leonard went to stand in yet another line for a refill on our drinks. Elektra liked looking at the pretty butterflies until one flew by and touched her. After that, this was her face any time a butterfly flew close. We weren't sure if Elektra would be afraid of the characters, like someones boys, who shall remain nameless to protect their identities..... But she wasn't afraid at all. She would smile, talk to them and wave to them. She was so busy talking to Bugs Bunny that she wouldn't look at the camera! We took Elektra into a gift shop and she immediately grabbed a bag as her Purse. Then she put this Tweety Bird Hat on. The first few times it fell right down to her shoulders. We all had Funnel Cake for dinner. MMMMMM. Funnel Cake with powered sugar, hot fudge, ice cream and whip cream. It was the perfect cap to a wonderful day! We all had a very happy day. Leonard apparently the happiest. Elektra and her new Tweety Bird. Very tired after their fun day! FLORIDA Kid Pictures Meet Santa Caleb. Ok, now who does this remind you of? Miniature Frank and Leonards? I am not going to say anything about the mess in the background. No I'm not. Not one word... The boys love Root Beer Floats. It is a staple for summer in Florida. For Zacharys 8th Birthday, Leonard and Michelle bought and sent Bend A Roos to the Florida house. Zachary was sooo excited about getting them. But the only pictures I got, is of CALEB enjoying them. Thank you Zachary for being a good big brother and sharing your toys! You Rock!
