Six Flags Great America

I have sooo much to catch up on from the past few weeks. These are all from mine and Brett's camera phones.

Miss Maddi had to get a tooth pulled. This is when she was waiting for the numbing shot to set in. She had been trying since March to get his tooth out. It would start bleeding from inside the tooth. The tooth was hollow inside but the roots were fully attached. She was never able to get it out herself so it was time to get it pulled. She was very brave and it went very smooth.

We went to Great America with our neighbors, the Balls, before they moved. It worked out great because Brett and Brendan were able to ride bigger rides with Maddi, Cade, Grace and Jack while the rest of us waited for them to ride. Emma and Ellie enjoyed hanging out together and were troopers. This is Brett and Emma on a slide in the Wiggles World. Emma actually rode the monkey tree ride and she was not much of a fan. She didn't actually cry until the very end, but when I asked her if she wanted to ride again she quickly responded "no, no".

The kids LOVED the boat ride and rode it over and over again. It got pretty chilly later in the day and most sane people didn't want to get wet. The kids were able to ride it mulitiple times without having to get off the ride each time.

After they were wet from the water rides, they got in the family dryer. Brett said it was the best $5.00 he ever spent in his life. He was pretty cold after getting wet.

Maddi saw the karaoke stage and was all over it. She sang "Teenage Dream" by Katy Perry all by herself. She did a nice job singing but needs to work on her performance. Ha ha. I give her credit for even getting on stage to sing by herself. She wasn't even the least bit nervous.

After Maddi sang, then Jack and Andrew went up to sing Dynomite. Maddi, Emma and Grace were the back up singers and dancers.

Toward the end of the night someone was getting tired and a little grumpy, even on Daddy's shoulders. She really was good the whole day. It was a very fun day and a great way to spend time with our friends before they moved.

This was Emma and Ellie at a going away party at another neighbors. The rest of us were at a swim meet, but Brett and Emma went to the party for a bit after Brett brought Emma home from the meet to go to bed.
