Summer time has always been one of my favorite times of the year, but even more so since I was able to quit work. This is our first "real" summer together and I say this because this was Brooke's first year of school so before this year....summer was all year round! We have been enjoying this past month to the fullest! We joined the local recreation center and have been swimming almost everyday...and BOTH of my children are half fish so this has been a blast...plus it usually means early bedtime which is always a plus in my book :-) But the very most important thing that has happened this entire summer was my little baby....turned six years old....gasp!!! I can hardly believe I have been a mom for six years....so much has happened in my life in the past six years and I am pretty darn thankful for the spot I am in at this very moment!! So anyway this year for her birthday since she was finally old enough I presented her with a very important question.....I said "Brooke for your birthday this year would you rather have a birthday party with all of your friends.....or would you rather spend a day at six flags with me?".....now there was a point in time about six to eight months ago where this child made me measure her EVERYDAY to see if she was tall enough to ride rides so I pretty much already knew what the answer would be! She (without skipping a freaking beat) said A DAY AT SIX FLAGS...but could you at least buy me a cake! So it was set...now let me first tell you that six flags very well be my favorite place on the face of this very earth so I was pretty much...if not more...excited then she was!!! My amazingly awesome little sis...babysat Paige so me and Brooke could spend the day together....(can you believe she picked a day with me over her friends...love that little girl!!!)....here she is on our way there...sunglasses and all...(she is a pro!)
We got there and the very first roller coaster she wanted to ride was the one that spins the entire way on the track (she is a little dare devil!!) It was so much fun watching her ride the rides...she acted like she had been there a million times and she knew exactly what she was doing! We ate corn dogs and curly fries for lunch and she had her first funnel cake (she was in love!!) we rode a ton of rides (we were there for SIX hours!!!) She got some birthday money from her grandparents this year and when I asked her what she wanted to spend her birthday money on her only reply was "cotton candy" so check out this thing that she bought at six flags!!!!
By the time we left we were walking to our car and she stopped in the middle of the parking lot and said "I am NEVER going to make it to the car...AND I should have just choose a birthday party......
And before we even left the parking lot.....
I would say the trip was success!!! I can't believe she is growing up so fast. I feel like just yesterday I was finding out I was going to have my first baby and now she is six years old...You couldn't even imagine how proud I am to be her mom. She has the biggest heart in the world and she is the most outgoing and vivacious child you will ever meet. Words can't describe how deep my love is for this kid and I am thankful for this summer and every summer I get to spend with her and her little sister! I am glad that this year on her sixth birthday she choose to hang out with her mama (who she still thinks is pretty fun) and take me on a date to six flags...because six flags may be my favorite place on this very earth....but watching six flags through my "babies" eyes for the first time was well.....FREAKING PRICELESS!!!
