Six Flags!

Well Hi!

Here are some pictures from when we went to Six Flags last week!

I managed to get quite a few, but they're from just a few rides. See,

on most rides they wouldn't let you hold stuff :/ But on the choice

few that they would let you I got some fun pics!

The swings...

We're flying...

Some of our crew waiting on the ground.

(Josh, Aunt Amy, Emily, and Matt)

I carried the camera for most of the day because nobody else

wanted too. So unfortunately any pictures of me are from

pretty close up.

I kind of like this one though!

*Big crazy grin*, The V2!
I like this ride...

The Batman. (yeah, on roller coasters for some odd reason they

won't let you use cameras! So my pictures of them are from on

the ground) They must think we'll drop them and knock out

the people behind us or something...

:D Another one of the Batman.

Josh and Cameron on "The East River Crawler"

(a.k.a. "the Octopus")

Emily and Matt.

:D This ride was pretty fun!

On our way to "The Fiddler's Fling" (a glorified tilt-a-whirl).

Not for the weak of stomach!!

No prob! We can handle this!!

Aww! Sweet stuff!

:D Nice Matt! No hands!

The best thing about this ride is that you just can't help but smile!

Cameron being so sweet and trying to hold on to "his"

side of the car so that he wouldn't crush Grandma...

Wheeee!

Ahh, so much spinning!! Are we almost done??!

We're okay... I think :/

Cam and I.

Front row baby! On the Iron Wolf!

Second row...

Btw, the guy who ran the ride was pretty neat!

Although "technically" you weren't supposed to have camera's

out while on the ride he let it slide and so I got a video of our

whole ride!! :D I'll post it later!

Ha ha ha.

The fun Starburst signs they had hanging up while you waited to

go on the Raging Bull.

We met up with Stevie M. and his friend Daniel and got

to hang out for most of the day! Quite fun! :D

Mwa hahaha! The Raging Bull! :D (a.k.a. AWESOME!)

The Giant Drop! (Sadly, we couldn't use camera's on this ride...)

Waiting to get on...

You can't see it to well, but there was a Cold Stone Creamery...

Far too expensive though so I didn't buy any. :/

Mom Rocks! She can't go on many rides, but wanted to be with

us so she came along and went on the few rides that she could

and then pretty much just sat and held our stuff while waiting

for us to go on all our rides... Poor thing was a little bored though

while we waited to get on the Giant Drop (it was a really long wait)

so she kindly went to the van and made us lunch!
Thanks Mom!

Lunch.

The Superman! *close your eyes and can almost pretend you

are flying, or better yet skydiving!*

That was the end of our day... 9 a.m.-7 p.m.!

All the people in our *group* split up so we had to wait around

for a while for everyone to get back from whatever part of the park

they had been in before we all left.

Here's Aunt Amy and Jared.

Sisters! (hey, isn't there a song about that??)

:D The *younger* ones of us!

:) We kinda like each other...

We like Cameron too :)

I pretty much just started snapping pictures and shoving

people together to get them :)

Upsidedown??

Rachel's eyes, Cameron, Criky, Me, Daniel, and Stevie.

:) We always take a family picture in front of the carousel.

"The" Carousel.

Time to go...

The Six Flags.

Headed to the car.

We had a great time!

There it is!

Ahh, wonderful place to spend a day!

Hope you enjoyed! :D

Maybe on another post you'll get to see some of the

crazy pictures we took on our car ride :)

A little before-school "excursion"...

So, a few weeks ago, before Cameron started school we

went on a little "excursion". I had been wanting to do something

special with just him while he was still on summer break and realized

that I was quickly running out of time... So I enlisted the help

of a few friends and we got to go horseback riding!

At the beginning of summer Cam had mentioned that "someday"
he'd like to ride a horse but had never gotten to yet...
So when I asked him what he'd like to do for a fun day (and in
all seriousness he said "I've always kinda wanted to go to Hawaii...")
I made the executive decision to come up with something on my
own ;)
Here's a close up of Matrix, the horse I got to ride.
And here is Daisy, the horse my friend rode.
My friends were so sweet! We got to the barn and they had all
the horses groomed/saddled so we could just get right on with our ride,
and when we got back and they did all the work then too! Get that helmet on! Safety first ;)

Cameron leading Bo, the horse he got to ride.

And he's up! Btw, truck beds make amazing mounting ramps...

My picture of Me and Matrix...

Here we go!

The trail we went on.

Walkin' walkin' walkin'...

:D He's so cute!!! :D

Some of the beautiful scenery.

We even got to run for a while! :D And then Cam

couldn't wipe the smile off his face!

Headed back.

Wraya on Scout. :D I like these two as a riding pair...

My horse decided he was going to leave the group...

So I got a cool picture of them behind me :)

And back at the barn.

We got to ride for over an hour!

And they would have taken us much farther but since
Cam had never been on a horse, and I didn't want him sore for

football, and I was supposed to be back in Dixon...

:D Some horse-y companions welcomed us back.

Thanks so much Samantha, Wraya, and Shayna for a

really fun morning!
You girls are the best!
