This weekend Best Fella and I took the kids to Six Flags and Hurricane Harbor. Despite the fact that it was over one hundred degrees everyday, we had a really good time. I had fairly low expectations for this trip, considering the way our precious darlings tend to whine about...hmm...everything. But, I was pleasantly surprised. Wiley, Princess, and Superman played together and got along pretty well for the entire trip.
I was very impressed with Superman's bravery this weekend. Despite the name, he tends to be more cautious(chicken!) than hero when it comes to new! And exciting! Experiences. He rode roller coasters and water rides and gigantor slides. I have never been one to go to amusement parks, much less ride rides, so this was a fairly new experience for me as well. I found that the best approach was to tout his bravery and strength at every opportunity, especially immediately before and after the rides. Watching him on the rides that I could keep my eyes open on was the funniest thing. While Princess and I laughed and screamed our heads off, Superman sat silently, eyes huge and lips sealed tight. I thought that was quite hilarious.
Perhaps the best thing that came out of the weekend was the name for our next dog. Best Fella's uncle, who was our gracious host for the weekend has a lovely (and looney) dog named Ginger that incessantly stalked he kids while they were in the pool. Superman inexplicably re-named the dog George Lopez. Pronounced George Lo-PAZ. I have no idea why, But hearing "c'mon, George Lopaz. Jump in!"...and "heeeere, George Lopaz..." was endlessly entertaining to me. And so we have agreed to name our next dog after that wonderful Mexican with the potty mouth. The End.
