A Great Date

The Hubs and I don't get away for a date very often so when David's parents offered to take Ethan to Great Wolf Lodge for the night we took full advantage of being foot-loose and fancy free!

As soon as we dropped Ethan off with Nana and Poppy, we high tailed it to Six Flags Over Texas' Holiday in the Park (we went the day after Christmas so it wasn't busy at all).

I couldn't tell you exactly when I was at Six Flags last but I am pretty sure it was when I saw 98 Degrees and Pink in concert, long before I met my beloved.

This time was MUCH more fun since I got hang on to my hubby for dear life when the rides got to be a little more than I could handle. Oh, and for the record, I was very brave and rode Tony Hawk's new ride Big Spin.

Not only is the ride super intense but the cart that you sit in spins freely on top of the mechanism that is attached to the tracks...so sometimes you're in the front of the cart sometimes you're in the back. Sometimes you're just spinning out of control. At one point when we were riding it we had our backs to the rest of the track so we couldn't see the HUGE DROP coming up ahead of us. I nearly ripped David's arm off by holding on so tight!

It was AWESOME and worth every minute we waited in line!

The whole day was simply fantastic!

We ran around acting like kids again....we even ate funnel cake and drank a gallon of hot chocolate (it was in the lower 40s that day).

After running around the park for 6 hours we decided to head out for some dinner and then see The Blindside. Dinner was great but the movie was sold out so we went home and David let me beat him at Wii bowling!

I love my husband....I really hope we get to go do fun things like this more often!
