We do get to have dates often enough but just haven't had the time or $$ for just us two to get away.

We've been thinking about taking a long weekend and driving to the Beaux Rivage Casino in Biloxi for some shows, gambling and

Good Morning Diary!!!

We had a blast yesterday at Astroworld/Waterworld!!! Cory brought 2 friends. First we went to Waterworld. They all went swimming while I laid out by the pool soaking up some rays. Thank goodness I put on enough sunscreen, it was so hot, I didn???t burn though, just got a little color, which is what I wanted. I did feel nauseated at one point and had to go get out of the sun for a while.

Next we packed up and headed into Astroworld. John made Tyler ride the Viper with them while I waited and watched. I don???t think Tyler really liked it but we are proud of him for being brave. Tyler wanted to play some of those carnival games to try and win a prize. Cory won a little frog by tossing a ball into a blue cup. John won some beads by throwing a ball and breaking a plate. Tyler thought that was cool.

We were all starving by now so we went to eat. Time was running short so we opted to go straight for the Texas Cyclone. On the way we stopped in a store and then decided to ride the Wagon Wheel, Tyler really liked that one! It???s always been one of my favorites, too. We got Tyler to ride the Texas Cyclone twice! You should have seen his face on that first drop! We were laughing our butts off! We all wanted to ride it again so we coaxed Tyler by the promise of dippin dots as a reward. Two more times for John and the boys while Tyler and I waited??? man my feet hurt.

On the way out they had one of those hit the thing with a big hammer to try and ring a bell??? they all tried it and won some of those blow-up hammers. Then they chased each other around, attacking each other with them??? I love hearing them all laugh at having such a good time!!! My favorite thing was when Cory said on the way home, ???This was a great day, thanks Mom!???

Later???

Tyler just wanted to SEE Batman but the cave was closed He's too short to ride it.

I like the Bamboo Shoot, too, and Sky Screamer but didn't ride either this time.

The kids all want to go again soon.

 

[Stacey]

Butterfly!! IT Sounds like you guys had a TON OF FUN!!! That was sooooo sweet of Cory to tell you that it was a great day! What a sweetiepie! I adore you guys sooo much!! Wow Tyler was brave huh!! I am even scared of the Texas Cyclone!
Glad ya'll had a great time! Take care of your feet.. go get a pedicure..ohhh that would feel great on your aching feet!

Soo is waterworld pretty cool??? I wanna go now that you are talking about it!!

 

[lina]

Sounds like you all had a blast! Guess Cory is home then... enjoy!! Hard to believe you are a mom of a 17 year old... you look like a teenager yourself!! BTW, saw your Hot dang sexy legs in your other post... looking good Butterfly!! and hmmm...gotta find myself some of those shoes too!!

 

[butterfly]

Lina ~ Thanks! and I think Fredricks of Hollywood sells those shoes if you don't have a store near you.

Shoes

Cory is 14 1/2 I don't even want to think about him being 17 yet

Princess ~ I've never been to Splashtown to I can't compare it to Waterworld but I think Waterworld is a blast and the kids all seem to like it. Try it and then you can tell me which one is better.

Think I'll have to wait until this blister goes away before I can get that pedicure... but oh what a wonderful idea!!!

NT ~ pressuring me too, I see

Do you guys take a vacation for yourselves and then one with your daughter? We couldn't afford two vacations right now and I'd feel too guilty going some place expensive without them

 

[naturaltan]

It's been about 2 (us trips) to 1 (family) but that is spread out over 2 years. Since our daughter is an only child, she's spoiled -

We have also started to do more skiing in the winter which both my wife and daughter love. So our getaways for us are well deserved.

I hear that ... vacations are expensive or at least this Jamaica trip was. Cancun was a third of the price and they actually have a nude resort, so that may be in our future plans at some point. OTOH, you have a beautiful house! We don't have that - yet.

 

[butterfly]

I suppose it's all in how you want to spend the money you got

 

[naturaltan]

very very true! It's about what is important to a person/couple. Your values may differ from ours and that's not to say that either is right and the other is wrong, just different.

If there was someway that i didn't have to be cash strapped in home ownership, I'd consider it.

 

[lina]

Thanks for the shoe link Butterfly!!! Nice site!! Oops I don't want to age your Cory too quickly.... OK, he's almost 15.... LOL, I guess if he was 17 he won't need his mom and dad around going to these amusement parks... does he mind hanging around you two? I hear stories of teenagers disowning their parents when their friends are around...

NT, Disneyland eh? LOL, very family friendly trip I see.... Check your pms...

Butterfly!!
Well I know Splashtown is awesome!! (my sis works there- 3rd summer in a row ) But I will definatly try and go to Waterworld and compare!! You should take your kids to splashtown-- its off of I-45... in Spring! Probably 20min. from waterworld (without houston traffic of course)

 

[butterfly]

Lina ~ Cory doesn't act all weird when his friends are around, thank goodness. He thinks we are pretty cool actually. Esp. John cause he jokes around with them all and wrestles with them. They like trying to take him and John likes proving they can't. We also like a lot of the same things they like... we have all the cool music, go to parties & concerts, and like the same type of movies.

We took Cory to his 1st concert a few months ago... Rob Zombie! Cory thought that was sooo cool... he got to see his first real boobies and smell pot! (of course we had to talk about how he shouldn't do drugs to conteract that exposure)

I told you he was a great kid!!!

John's son Tyler lives up that way and they pass it everytime. I've thought about going but I know his step-dad takes him there so we want to take him somewhere they don't go.

Cory is going to Schlitterbaun on 8/17 with his Boy Scout troop and I was thinking about talking John into us taking Tyler and going too. Don't know how that'll play out though, we'll see.

 

[Stacey]

Hey girl..oh I know what ya mean now.. I wouldn't want to go there either..if he his stepdad takes him! He probably loves going to new places then!!
I LOVE SCHLITTERBAUN!! Its soooo cool! That would be cool if you guys got to go also!

Hey which kid wouldn't want to hang with cool parents like you two!!! Boobies and pot huh? Nothing better than to have your parents there to teach you right from wrong! Much better than closing one eye and one ear and pretending it's not there...because it is!
