More Six Flags Fun


Six Flags Fiesta Texas is a beautiful park. It's built inside a former quarry and the stone hills around it encircle it and give it a great feel. I told Aidan that Batman's cave is probably inside one of those rocky cliffs. He said, "Yeah Dad... it is," with big wide eyes.


Aidan and Norma riding one ride that I will NOT get on. I hate those chains... I just think they are going to snap at any second. With how much I weigh, it just might!


He's such a handful, in a good way.


What a beautiful day!


Aidan's first roller coaster. He got off and said, "Again! Again! That was AWESOME."

Six Flags Fun

Aidan and I had a great time on the Wiggles World rides.


He was very excited to press the button that raised the plane in the air.


What a ride!


Waving to Mom.


Hello ground dwellers.


Meeting Tweetie was not quite as 'super' as meeting Batman, but it was still nice.

Zoo Trip 2009






We had a great time at the zoo yesterday. We drove downtown and took the metro train to the zoo. It was a lot of walking for Aidan, but it was good for him. We got lots of exercise.

The zoo was packed with people and we got there just in time. On our way out there were huge lines. I am so glad we took the train in because traffic would have been a nightmare.

Spring Break - only a day away!

Wow, it is amazing how quickly this year has flown by. We are just one day away from Spring Break. It will be wonderful to have 9 consecutive days to recharge my batteries. Norma and I really need it.

This morning I conducted a 2 hour AVID tutor training at school. It was a lot of work, but it went off well. Tutors from around the district were there. Such wonderful kids. All of them have college credit and come in to tutor our AVID kids twice a week.

On Monday (first day of spring break), I'll actually be working. Me and two other teachers will be preparing our two day AVID Social Studies training. It is going to stink to have to work, but I will be so happy when everything is ready.

We have been trying hard to plan things to do for Spring Break. We might go out to San Antonio to see Uncle George and Aunt Marla. We are definitely going to the Houston Zoo, but we have to see what the weather is like. Aidan and I are definitely going to play a lot of video games! So whatever we do... we'll have fun.
