Reading our way to .... (Part 2)

Sophie also participated in the Six Flags Reading program last year during school and received a free ticket. I decided to wait until the hottest day of the summer...so, today was her day. I thought we would head out there for an hour or two and then she would get bored because she is usually not very adventurous. Anyway, we made it home eight hours later and totally exhausted.

Here are the few pics that I got on my cell phone as I realized after we got in the park that I left the memory card for the camera at home.

This one is my favorite because my girl who doesn't want to learn how to swim nor really like to get her face wet (1.) rode the Aquaman water slide and then (2.) opted to stand on the bridge and get totally drenched by the splash of the next boat of riders. (Mommy got wet enough on the ride. I chose to stand in the dry zone and watch!!)

Thanks J&J for this special time to spend alone with my big girl.

Reading our way to ....

The Circus!!!

Our public library summer reading program was giving away tickets the to circus this year. Once Sophie realized this it was her mission to make sure that all three kids got a ticket. She did all her reading and a large portion of the reading to Jason and Allison. We decided in the end not to take Allison (...late night + little sleep + terrible 2's = not much fun for mommy and daddy), maybe next year. So, here are a few pics:

Tour De France

Yesterday, Paula turned on the 1st stage of this year's Tour De France with more than some anticipation and glee. As soon as Sophie recognized what was on, she exclaimed "Oh No!". I asked her what was wrong and she stated "This is the terriblest season of the year. No attention to me."
