Six Flags

Our time with Kado was coming

to an end.  We wanted to spend the

weekend having some fun in 

Dallas before we had to take

him back.

Ry tried his skills at the rope

ladder.  He did pretty good!

I love this picture!

Cody and Kade were on 

the pirate ship.  I guess

Cody really liked it.

The weather was really HOT!

It was weird though,

we went on 4th of July

weekend, but there was

hardly NO lines.

Of all the times I have

been there during the summer, 

this was a first.

It was the perfect time to go!

Rylee also found a new

favorite ride - The Log Ride

 

And I am sad to say, but my

very last baby boy was tall

enough for the big rides!

We hardly spent any time in

Looney Toon Land.   :(

The Shock Wave was his very

first big roller coaster.

He LOVED the double loops!

Of course before we left Dallas

we had to stop by the Rainforest Cafe!

We love eating there.  We surprised the

boys with a Volcano this time.

It was so yummy!

and big enough for 7 of us

to share!

We also took some time to do

 a little school clothes shopping.

On our way out Cody and Ry

spotted these giant bubbles.

You get in them and walk

around in this big pool

of water that is about a foot

deep.  Not as easy as it sounds!

But it was so funny to watch them.

We also marked a couple

things off of our 

Cherne Family Bucket List!

#9 - Go to Six Flags

On the way home we

stopped by a roadside fruit stand

and marked of #55.

Landree

Tab and Landree came 

down for a little visit.

The boys were dying to

swim with Landree!

He loved "jumping" off

of the platform.

After we tired the boys out

from swimming we settled in

for some Legos and Buzz Lightyear.

We also marked off

#29 Visit the Zoo

while they were in town!

Summer Bucket List

We have managed to mark
off a few more things
from our Bucket List!

#10 - Finish the summer Reading Club

# 12 - Play at the Park

#16 - Swim at the WT Pool

#30 - Have a Family Game Night

#57 - Have a Harry Potter Marathon

We are working hard and having

so much fun trying to get

everything marked off the list!

The 4th

Happy 4th of July!

The 4th of July is my most

favorite holiday!

I love everything about it!

{Cooking out with the family,

Fireworks, Summer Time}

I didn't decide to decorate for the 

4th until about a week before.

Oh well.  KC and I worked on

this American flag, and I love

the way it came out! 

We were super excited to buy

fireworks this year.  Last year

was sooo dry here, that they

didn't even allow people

to pop them or sell them.

That was the only time I can

ever remember not having

fireworks on the 4th of July.

We had some more water balloons,

and thought this would be a great

day to fill them up.

Once again it was

kids VS adults

 Kade nailed me really good

with one right in the ribs

when I wasn't looking.

Ouch!

So I held him down and

busted one right on his 

head.  Luckily Nana

caught it on camera.

We didn't go crazy on fireworks.

Our normal is Sparklers, Snakes,

Smoke Bombs, and Poppers.

Then KC always sneaks in 

Black Cats and loud stuff

that scares everyone.

 Go figure.

The boys really got into lighting them

and blowing things up this year.

Just Great!

The Chicken is my favorite!

This is where they were

trying out Smoke Bombs 

in water.  Why?

Who knows!

Apparently because

that's what little boys 

are supposed to do.

A big church right by our

house ended up having a big

firework show that night.

Perfect!

We got to enjoy the show right from

our roof top.  No fighting traffic to

get home afterwords either.  :)

We also marked Pop Fireworks
off our Bucket List!
