Fun at Six Flags in Chicago...

We promised the kids a trip to Six Flags in Chicago this summer. Last time we went, it was in Texas and Corey was 12 months old and I was 7 months pregnant with Bethany. So this was long overdue. It was really hot, but we all had a great time. Ethen and Corey went off with their friends, Harry took Bethany and Clare, and sometimes Seth on the roller coasters and bigger rides. Joslynn and Aidan and sometimes Seth, hung out with me, and we did the kiddie rides. My favorite was the Logger Run, we got really wet (especially Aidan). I am pretty chicken when it comes to heights, so forget the roller coasters.


Bethany was the only one I could get a picture of on the Carousel, it was a double decker one, and everyone else was towards the inside.

Hi mom, I rode the horsey!!!

Pondering...

Looking at the map...

This was Joslynn's favorite ride, she rode them a few times, this is a picture of Clare and Seth on it though.

Clarissa, Bethany and Seth loved the swings, they terrify me to even look at them.

Taking a little boat ride...

Meet the Hendersons....

Seth loved this little roller coaster, it was the Jetsons. He rode it many times. He looks happy doesn't he!!!

I love this picture, she was waiting for the older kids to get off a roller coaster she was too young or short to ride.

She was up really late the night before, so she conked out for a three hour nap in her stroller in the Chaos of Six Flags...

Clare and Bethany took some of the younger kids on the rides so I could take a few pictures. But I had more than my share of little kid rides.

Joslynn and Aidan on the Teacups... they went around too fast, the look on Joslynn's face was so cute, she was laughing so hard.

Corey and Ethen went off by their selves, well, with Eric (James' best friend) and Tyler one of Corey and Ethen's best friends. They rode many of the super scary roller coasters. They had a lot of fun!!!!

Joslynn's 3rd Birthday...my little girl is growing up!!!!

This year Joslynn turned 3 years old. She was very excited for her birthday. We went swimming that morning, and then went to get her birthday presents. She picked out a Dora the Explorer bike, with training wheels and helmet. She also wanted a Tinkerbell dress with wings and a Disney Princess Cash Register. She had a very fun day playing with all her stuff and riding her bike. I can't believe she is three already, where did the time go????

Catching up...Ethen and Seth's Birthdays

Blowing out the candles...9 years old!!!

The magic of Birthdays, I love them...

A big thumbs up from Seth, he's ready to go...

I feel so bad, I can't find Ethen's birthday pics on the computer, I am not sure what happened to them. He turned the big 17 this year. We love you Ethen, hope you had a good birthday, even though I can't find evidence of your birthday this year. We know it happened, Right!!!!!

I don't know if this will work or not, but I thought I would try. Ethen made a video for Seth's friend birthday party. It was a spy party. He wasn't able to save the whole video, but I thought I would add one of the clips that he made. On my computer it won't work, in fact I can't access anyone's videos on blogger, but maybe someone else can. Good luck!
