recent fun

so, friday morning bright and early, we all headed up to atlanta for a little family trip. when we got there, we went straight to the 6 flags water park, called white water, with out stopping to even check into our hotel. this ws around 10:30 - 11:00. we then did many rides together, and some seperate, including the big family ride twice in a row, the 90 foot drop almost straight down that lasts about 3 seconds from start to finish (trey and dad) and no joke, it really does. and its a water slide. ahhh!!!!! the bohamian bobsled, the tidal wave, the tornado, the river rapids, caribean plunge, and many others. the best things were, 1. everyone was big enough and brave enough to do most rides. 2. you wait to get your tube at the bottom of the ride from someone coming off, then the line at the top of the actual ride is about 5 minutes or less. at the bottom, you can see the 50 % of people wipe who wipe out do so while laughing, and hoping that you will not.

after about 5 hours, we headed to the car, and went bakc to the hotel and dinner. mom and dad had to be at dinner before there "broadway" at 5:30, so they left pretty early. trey and i babysat the triplets in the 2 hotel rooms we had, until mom and dad got back.... around 11, or midnight.

the next morning we went home. soon after arriving home, syd, dad and I went to see Koa, and found Granny was over too. (my great grandmother) after hanging out with Koa and talking to granny, we headed for home. mom and i premade the cookie dough for dessert on fathers day, as well as the Crepes for his breadfast in bed bright and early. then, we headed down to the pool, and dad helped me with both jumping headers and diving headers. he wanted to try it out, but it was pretlty much a failure. then, i headed back into the pool area, and helped all the kids with there strokes. i got syd doing real fly, corrected all her IM turns, and showed her a few tricks for back. i think all in all we tood off a good 5-7 seconds off ther time, maybe more if she can remember it all! very succesful day.
