One more post from Six Flags...

I know you are all probably wondering how many posts I am going to post from Six Flags this year. However, I couldn't resist posting these pictures from our last visit for a few reasons...

Aidan met his beloved Scooby-Doo...

Got a Scooby-Doo to take home...

Brinn is big enough to go on the rides (which she LOVED!)...

Just can't get enough of these two!

"Mommy WOW, I'm a BIG KID now!"

Both my kids moved up to bigger car seats this past weekend... and as you can tell they both couldn't be happier!

Our Sweet Reunion!






Uncle Nic from the eyes of Aidan and Jackson!

Our Little Pumpkins!

Going to the pumpkin patch in 85 degree weather just doesn't seem right.... so I put Brinn in a fall outfit anyway. Poor girl! Not to mention that they don't actually grow pumpkins at the pumpkins patch, instead they are imported from New Mexico. I guess we were spoiled in Washington. Despite it all, I think Aidan and Brinn still had a fun time and after all, that is what it's all about!

Aidan and Dad going through the hay maze. The perfect size for the little man!


Our Little Pumpkins!

Aidan and Dad made this scarecrow.

This is Brinn's "I'm smiling but I am not quite sure about this big orange thing you are making me hang on to" face!


The petting zoo as advertised turned out to be 4 baby chicks, not quite what I was expecting! But they were cute!

He doesn't like to admit it but she has him wrapped around her finger!

The hay ride through the apple orchard.

So fun to have grandma come along!


Aidan picks his pumpkin... Success!
