On Saturday we had the opportunity of going to Six Flags Fiesta Texas in San Antonio. Every year Daniel's company pays for a family day event and this year it was to Six Flags. It was very nice to be able to show up, get free parking, a free lunch, and free entrance into the park for the whole family! I had never been to Fiesta Texas before either (can you believe it!?) even though I've lived in Texas for almost 18 years now. We had a great time and the weather was great.
After lunch, we headed over to Kiddyville (ie-the kid section of the park:) and took the kids on a few rides. Katherine wanted to ride the Ferris Wheel (I think from when she's watched Dora's Carnival episode on TV). Then we went to the Carousel and the kids enjoyed making silly faces at the camera and riding the horses. Christopher had fun just hanging out with me and every so often I'd sprinkle water on his head and cool him off...he loved that!
Later that afternoon, I went on the log ride with Matt and Katherine. At first, I wasn't sure if they were going to like getting wet or the steep drop at the end. Plus Katherine had to sit by herself since there were only 2 people allowed to a seat. I couldn't believe how well they both did. Katherine was a little scared by the drop at the end, but probably because she had to sit alone. And Matt did great...didn't even cry! He ended up going back again later with Daniel, but Katherine I think had had enough.
When we arrived at Six Flags, we went to the Picnic Grove area and ate lunch and the kids enjoyed chasing around the soccer balls and tossing the football around. Katherine kept saying how she loves playing soccer because it gives her great exercise!:) I think we might sign her up for soccer next summer:) Matt had fun chasing the balls and playing with Katherine too.

We ended the day there by trying to win some toys for the kids. Katherine won a white stuffed teddy bear all by herself by throwing balls and having them land in a certain colored cup. Daniel tried to win Matt a big animal by climbing up a rope ladder and ringing the bell at the top, but he lost his balance and was only able to win a small blue/white Nemo fish. Oh well, it was fun to watch anyway! After a long but fun day at Six Flags, we headed to Chickfila for dinner and then headed home so Daniel could pack for his trip to D.C. He left this morning which means I'll be a single mom with 3 kids for 7 days! Yikes! Pray for me if you think about it:)
Have a good week!
