Vacation week pt. 4

We also went to Six Flags Discovery Kingdom when Duane was off. We always try to color match when we go places. It makes it so much easier to keep an eye on our group and not lose little ones. Shyloh suggested that we do tie dyed shirts this time. The night before we went we had a tie dye party! Even the little ones had lots of fun putting on the rubber bands and pouring on the color. We only wish we would have realized sooner that the kit came with gloves inside it. Half of us had stained hands. It took several days to get hands clean. We had a blast making them and the kids have already asked to do it again. (Great idea Shyloh!)

We headed out the next morning, late as usual. If we need to leave at 8:00 then it is pretty much a guarantee that we will leave at 9:00. It's okay though because it's not when you get there, but rather all about the journey. Actually I think we say that just to make us feel better! Half the van slept through the journey.

We spent most of the time in the little kid area this time. The little girls love that part of the park, but I think that even most of the bigger kids (and Jeff) had lots of fun in Toon Town! Next time we will most likely hit all the shows.

Everywhere we walked we had comments on our shirts. Jeff had to be talked into wearing them by Shyloh as he isn't a tie dye fan at all. He reluctantly agreed and within a couple of hours at the park he realized how fun it was. We had more comments than we could count and it was so easy to spot "our people".

By the time we left the park we were all starving. We headed down the road to Taco Bell to eat and then grab a coffee for the ride home. Once again most of the van slept through the journey! We made it home about 10:00 and carried everyone in and they all slept in their tie dyed shirts!
(We had to many picture so I just put them in a slideshow. Just click the "X" in the corner to replay.)
