"All the ponies in this town are CRAZY!"
-Twilight Sparkle
The kids are running around town as the summer break goes into the final two weeks. One stop was at Six Flags. James is tall enough now to ride some of the larger roller coasters and he and Ashlyn decided to try the Judge Roy Scream. They were a little nervous at first but ended up enjoying it enough to go on it a few more times. Isla was content to ride some of the smaller rides and the carrousel.
The next adventure traded a hot day for a wet one. At Hurricane Harbor Isla discovered that she was tall enough to go down some of the bigger slides (or the employees weren’t as picky as Six Flags) and so all three kids got to on most things together.
In the more random trips category, we had a lot of change at the house and Mommy took the kids to the bank to give them a lesson on counting and wrapping coins. They got some coin rollers from a bank teller and found a quiet spot outside the lobby to roll coins. $31 later they also learned that counting coins ends with getting ice cream popsicles. Wait, what was the lesson here?
Later in the week the kids went bowling. Isla was very excited to get a spare, she even won the first game. It should be pointed out that all the events this week were three kids with Mommy while Daddy was at work. She’s a trooper.
This weekend James tested for his senior purple belt. He did great, he passed his form on the first try and did well enough with his sparring that he will officially receive his new belt next week. Ben and Sydney wanted to come watch and added to James’ support team.
And this is just Isla covering herself in My Little Pony gear. That’s about all I need to say on that.
