Six Flags, More Fun

Is that the saying? I think so... I am way behind on my blogging, so I will try and make up some time. Right now I'm taking a study break from the hours of listening to music, and reading about music. I'm not sure how much I like it anymore. Anyway, so last weekend-not mothers day (blog to come)- but the weekend before that we had a little road trip to Dallas to shop, hang with my cousins and their kids, and go to SIX FLAGS. This is the first little escape Joe and I had since the honeymoon, and I was excited about making it feel as 'road-tripish' as possible. Our first stop was in the Czech town West, Texas right outside of Waco. Two of my music professors went on and on about how great Czech beer was, so I thought we could stop and experience a bit of Czech culture. I was wrong. Oh, so very wrong. Joe did get a Czech beer, that they have at our HEB and we ate in a building with no air-conditioning in the back (where the restrooms were) and a thirty year old refrigerator that was filled with pre cut veggies. Ugg, I was a little grossed out, and just plan disappointed. The stop wasn't a total bust, we did get some great kolaches. From there we headed to the Allen Outlets. MMmmm it was awesome. We both got some very cute things, for very good prices. After that we went to my cousin Peter's pad. We had a fun filled evening with him, his wife Melissa, and their two boys Gabe and Josh. One of the highlights of the evening was running in circles around the couch, pretending to be skate boarding (or something) with baskets on our heads for helmets. It was our workout for the day. Saturday my Aunts family came up, as well as my mom and we went to six flags. It was so fun. The first half of the day was spent in the kiddy corner, and the second was spent on roller coasters. I love me some roller coasters. Finally, on Sunday we went to their church and heard my old youth minister-John Durham- preach. It was awesome. One of the most convicting sermons I have heard in a long time. That afternoon we celebrated Oksana's 15th birthday and Joshua's 4th. It was great, and we were a little sad to leave.
