Matthew, Sarah and the kids come for a visit!!

We were so excited to have Matthew, Sarah, Hannah, and Kaleb come for a visit this past week!! We had so much fun just hanging out and spending time with them...Matthew came to NC the end of February to help us move, but we haven't seen Sarah and the kids since July of last year, when we went to Texas to help them move! So we were very excited to have this week to spend with them!! As you know from my last posts...We were able to all get together and have a family picture made, I was so happy with how the picture turned out! It was even better than I hoped for!! On Thursday, Gerie came over and watched Kaleb for us, while we all went to Six Flags!! We had a great time and lots of fun as usual, but it was even more special for Tommy and I because this was the first time that we had gone to a major theme park of any kind with one of our grandkids, and how fitting it was to be with our oldest granddaughter Hannah! Hannah is 6 years old, the perfect age to start enjoying Six Flags and she really had a great time!! Tommy, Chase, Matthew, and Sarah were excited about the roller coasters, so I told them to go ahead and ride some things while Hannah and Mimi headed to Bugs Bunny World!! Hannah rode a couple of rides and then we went to the Looney Tunes show...Hannah kept seeing the sky buckets go across and wanted to ride them, so we took off to the other side of the park on the sky buckets, she didn't see anything that she wanted to do there, so we just rode the sky buckets back...We caught up with the rest of the family and headed to do some things all together...Matthew and Hannah rode the Batman swings, and they all rode the Shake, Rattle, and Roll...Mimi sat that one out!! Matthew, Sarah, and Hannah headed back to Bugs Bunny world to ride the Looney Tunes coaster...while Tommy, Chase, and I rode the Goliath!! I didn't get to ride it last time we were at Six Flags because I got a major cramp in my leg!! WOW!! What a ride!! It was awesome!! Goliath is now my new favorite roller coaster!! After that...Hannah, Chase and Sarah spent some time at Skull Island (the water park) while Tommy, Matthew, and I went to see a show at the Crystal Pistol...Then we met back up, Granddaddy and Mimi took Hannah to ride some more stuff, while Matthew, Sarah and Chase went to ride the Goliath!! Matthew got alittle scared!! But he survived!! What a fun day!! Thanks Gerie for watching Kaleb, so that we could spend the day with Matthew, Sarah, and Hannah at Six Flags!! I know Kaleb had a blast hanging out with Aunt Gerie and his cousin Billy!!
Here is a slide show of our day at Six Flags:
