Avery's Birthday Party and Six Flags

Yesterday we didn't waste a minute!  We started off the day at Avery's 4th Birthday Party!  It was at a painting place and all the kids followed the teacher's directions to paint their own canvas of a princess.  It was such a cute party and everyone had lots of fun.

These two girls have been friends since before they were one and now they are turning 4!!!!  It's just hard for me to believe they are getting so big!

Next it was a quick wardrobe chance for us and we were off to meet Robby at Six Flags for the Racetrac Family Fun Day!  When we arrived Robby was at his "station" greeting people to the large picnic pavilion dedicated for Racetrac employees and their families.  They had food, popsicles, carnival games, face painting, characters, and tons of fun!

We met up with Trey and Stefanie there and started making our way through the park.  It was SUCH a hot day yesterday, but we made the most of it and actually stayed a lot longer than I thought we would.

Handley loved cooling off in the misters around the park. 

Handley was so excited to ride all the rides.  She kept wanting to go on the BIG roller coasters, but unfortunately was a little to short for those.  However, she did get to ride the Mine Train and was all smiles when she got off and couldn't wait to ride more.

After Harper saw how much fun Handley was having she decided that she would like to try out some rides too.  Unfortunately, she fell asleep in the stroller about this point because it was way past her nap time.

When we made it to the kiddie section I woke her up so she could enjoy some of the rides too.  She was too short for some, but got to ride a few.  I thought for sure she would start crying when she got to the top of this bucked ride (especially because Handley kept making their bucket swing), but she got off and was all smiles and proud of herself for riding it.

After leaving Six Flags we made our way up to Gigi and Papa's house to drop off the girls for a sleep-over.  They had been talking about it all week and when we arrived we found their driveway lined with a kiddie pool, sprinkler, outdoor kitchen area and all sorts of other fun summer toys.  The girls were in heaven as they started playing and it didn't take Handley long to prompt Robby and I to make our departure.  Robby and I got to enjoy a nice dinner out last night and then spent the rest of the evening in search of the perfect birthday present for Handley.  After such a busy day I was very thankful to get to sleep in this morning. :-)
