2nd Week of June

This will be a long post to catch up on the happenings of my vacation while I have been on the road.

MONDAY-

Chris and I left at 6 a.m. and drove to Charlotte, NC to be able to see Brooke graduate the 5th grade. It was a long drive and I must say the GPS thingy came in very handy and was GREAT! I appreciated it very much that trip, however I think I donlt pay as much attention to the landmarks and things while I am being told where to go. I can see it woukld be easy to rely on the GPS and then if without it be totally lost... kinda like I was this triop when the screen to my cell phone went out. I did not know anyone's number and could not see the screen to make a call. We picked up Brooke and her things then followed her Mom and family to eat Pizza. We had a nice visit with Brooke's other Grandparents as well. I will say I was exhausted that night...Brooke was able to go with us to the hotel to spend the night. She watched TV with Chris in his room then slept with me.

TUESDAY

Tuesday we got up early to have Brooke at school. We met her teacher and friends. It was a nice Graduation and class party afterwards.

We took a different route and drove back to Georgia for Tuesday Night. We went to Brandon's to see where he lived and visit with him and his family. Dustin met us there. It has been probably 3 years since Chris and Brandon have been able to visit. We enjoyed the kids very much, they are just precious is all I can say. Very plesant and happy kids. They are very friendly kids. They knew we were there to be intertained and they did a good job. Emma showed us her room and all the special lil area's in it. She had to show us how she can make the rocky horse rock and climb in the rocking chair to plunder in her dresser drawer. Just too cute....

WEDNESDAY

On Wednesday we got up later than the other days, we were only about 45 minutes from Six Flags. We all met up at 10:00 a.m. as planned. We had a total of 21 of us there. It was a perfect day. The crowd was not bad and the weather was plesant. We all made a plan to meet at 2 p.m. and set out to have some fun. Many of us trailed along with Brandon and Christy to watch the kids for the 1st time.

Where do we start?

We even rode some rides with Brandon's group.

Pat and I tried as best we could to fill in for Grandmother and Pop's (Glenda and Randy) We all missed them being there. I am thinking we will try this trip again.
The different groups went searching for fun.

We all enjoyed the free refills on the big drinks. The lines were longer as the day went by.

Getting the afternoon plan together while breaking for lunch.We did stand in lines but they really were not bad.

We saved the water rides until last and those are my favorite.

The different groups come trailing in at the day end.
Kyle and Josh finally appear at the end of the day.

Kyle picking on me after a long day and not a dry hair or a dry thread.

The time has come for all to gather together for the trip home.

I think all had a great time. No one lost their cell phone and no one got lost and everyone was prompt on meeting times. A VERY VERY PLEASANT TRIP.
