an afternoon at 6 flags

in awe at the roller coaster's speed and height

excited anyway!

after the raft ride

 so excited for the dolphin show. it was over so fast.

 so we snooped around till we got another view of them

it was hard work

then we rode. the oldest b and little a were nervous. s & b were casual. so what! we're cool!

they waved to f & baby L when they passed him

and then he got to ride the airplanes. i was excited to take him...but i was too tall.

he might have enjoyed it more without me.
other memories not photographically preserved: giant pizza slices and hot dogs for dinner. first time for L and f on a carousel and i got to ride too. spookily (for mom) close to the lions. l's first elephant sightings. the serious disappointment at discovering the little car rides were $10 each. the litigator saying to me, 'i think we should focus on the animals, don't you?' (i really love him). forcing the kids to change into pjs inside the car. mcdonald's ice cream sundays on the way home.
