Last Monday The Boy turned six. That is the age of an old kid, if you ask me. We took him on a surprise birthday adventure trip to Six Flags on Sunday and he loved it. He rode every coaster he was tall enough to ride, including the mind bender. Twice. He has no fear when it comes to heights or coasters or physical danger.
...while I ordered The Boy a funnel cake. It was his first, and he approved.
He loved Superman's Tower of Power.
After his 12 hour epic adventure, this child slept until 8:15 for possibly the first time in his life. When I went to check on him, he was getting dressed and singing Happy Birthday to himself. We gave him a bag of lawn clippings flavored jelly beans- his favorite.
He still loves his brother best of all. He wants to be with him every moment of the day, and wants to wake him up if BeYoYo sleeps late. He loves being outside, and he knows a lot about animals and nature. He has an engineer's mind, always building and working to understand how things work. I'm legitimately impressed with some of his Lego creations. He's recently developed a love for drawing, and he's really matured this year. He can now sit through an entire worship service quietly or even silently. Don't keep secrets from him by spelling out loud in his presence, because he may figure it out and he will definitely try to.
You may remember that every year we do a birthday interview. You'll find that here:
How old are you?
This is The Boy and The Husband on Battle for Metropolis. This is a new 4D ride that wasn't working too well, so we got stuck in the dark bowels of Metropolis with the ride disfunctioning for 10 or 15 minutes. The Boy thought it was a great adventure. The Husband gets sick with any spinning rides, and this was spinning in real life and virtual spinning on the screen. When we finally got back to the start, they apologized for the inconvenience and asked if we wanted to ride again without waiting in line. The Husband immediately said no while The Boy said yes. He and I went again while the Husband waited it out.
The guys got drenched on Thunder River
I wish you could really see the grin on his face here.
We stayed for nearly 12 hours, and he would've stayed longer if we'd let him.
