{Five on Friday // Five other things that happened in April}

Happy finally Friday!! It's been a long, crazy week. Mason was off school on Monday and Nathan stayed home because he was not feeling well. And because of this, our days were so thrown off all week! Wednesday was bring your kid to work day at Nate's company, my brother had to have surgery yesterday and then Nate and Mason are on a field trip today. I've been working and cleaning the house in between while the boys are gone and just remembered I never finished this post. So, here's a little Five on Friday...Five other things that happened in April. (still playing catch-up)



{This Past Weekend...}

Another amazing {but flew by way too fast} weekend in the books! It was another super busy one for us, but I wouldn't have it any other way. We have been making so many incredible memories lately and cultivating special relationships. You just can't beat that! I'm starting our weekend on Thursday because really that's when the fun began. Here is a look at this past weekend...

{10 on Tuesday // Six Flags}

In my Oh Hey Friday post I mentioned we were going to Six Flags on Friday...well, we went and we had a complete blast. Since the park is only open for one specific ISD and their families there is no lines. You literally walk up to a ride and you're the next group to get on. The longest that we waited for anything was 15 minutes and that was on the Justice League ride and only because they had technical difficulties. This is our favorite {and honestly the only} way to do Six Flags.

Mason is just like me as a child. The boy has NO fear and wants to ride everything. Now I know how my mom must have felt, And since Nate doesn't ride rides it's up to me, Nana and Michelle to ride everything with Mason. There was only one ride {pandemonium} that frightened him a bit. And really, I think it's only because I screamed on the first drop. Oops. I told him I screamed because it was fun and then he was okay with it. Brave boy!

We had so much fun and rode every single ride that we wanted to. We played a game and Mason won a Robin superhero cape and a Superman cap. He has quite the collection of superhero capes from Six Flags. It's his favorite 'souvenir' to get.

And now, joining in with Karli for 10 on Tuesday by sharing 10 photos from our night at Six Flags. Actually, I kind of cheated because one of the pictures is a collage of four pictures. ha. And I didn't take my big camera (wahhh) because of all the rain we've had lately. I didn't want to chance it. Last year it poured on us.

{O N E} // Walking in, the cave ride, the tea cups, and the view from the top of the bobsled ride.


{T W O} // Took this picture from Michelle's snapchat. This is on the bobsled ride. Mason was finally tall enough to ride. He loved it! He might have been a little scared on the way up, though. He told us "If you have anything you need to tell me before we die you better tell me now!" Not sure where that came from. ha.



{T H R E E} // Cottoncandy almost as huge as him. We all shared and still came home with half a bag.



{F O U R} // The obligatory giant chair picture. My parents have pictures of me on this chair from when I was just a small child.


{F I V E} // I missed the best part of the sunset behind Six Flags, but was able to get a bit of it.


{S I X} // Mase wasn't tall enough for the Batman ride, but he was okay with just taking a picture with the Batmobile.



{S E V E N}//  Even though my big boy was tall enough for most of the big rides he still wanted to visit the kid area. He's in the pink balloon in this picture.



{E I G H T} // Waiting to ride Justice League. This was probably one of our favorite rides of the night. It was so much like some of the rides at Disney World. Now we are all even more ready to get back to Disney.



{N I N E} // This is only a picture of the gift shop, but Mason asked me to take a picture of it. Many of his favorite superheroes in this picture!



{T E N} // And my favorite picture of the night...my sweet little boy all tuckered out. If you know Mason then you know that he doesn't just fall asleep anywhere, especially not in the car. This is how you know he is tired and wore out.


{Mason's first trip to Six Flags}

This past Friday we took Mason to Six Flags Over Texas for the first time ever. The park shut down for a private even for Arlington ISD employees and family so we jumped on that opportunity. Nate's Mom works for one of the Arlington schools so she was able to get us tickets. It was awesome!! For each ride we wanted to ride we walked right up with little to no line. Now, that's the way to do Six Flags.

Mason had a blast. He wanted to ride all of the big rides and was disappointed when he wasn't tall enough. He rode everything that he could and loved every second of it. We all enjoyed watching him get so tickled!!

The park was open from 6-11 and we stayed until the last minute. So much fun!

Oh and by the way...Mason wore those silly glasses almost the whole time we were there. And about halfway into our night he won a Batman cape and added that to his outfit.
