Spoiled?

Since Friday was the last full day of school (half day today) I gave Chloe the option to go to the beach or Six Flags for our last Chloe and mommy day.  Don't feel bad for the other two, they both had field trips and they were happy to hear that Chloe got to go somewhere too.  Anyway, Chloe is my number one beach bum so I was surprised when she chose Six Flags, but off we went.

We waited 30 minutes to park and then the line to get in was so massive that there were no longer actual lines, but just a massive herd of people backed up to the parking lot.  I just picked someone and stayed behind them until we finally made it to the front, one hour later.  Ugh!

But once we were in the magic began.   We rode some of Chloe's favorite rides, including...

The Condor, but she did not like the idea of me taking a pic of her alone in it because she was afraid it would take off before I got in.

The Sky Trek Tower, or as Chloe calls it, The Eiffel Tower..still holding tight to my arm though.

The train

And of course the merry go round

We once again tried the extreme close up self portrait...

Still not too great...

So we jumped in a photo booth instead.  For as much as I hate to have my picture taken, for some reason I love photo booths. There was no countdown so pic one snapped before we were ready.  Good to see that my natural expression looks something like a flesh eating zombie.  Pic two Chloe said to be ugly...I nailed it.  Pic three she told me to be happy...easy peasy!  Pic three she told me to be sad.  Funny girl!

And when you are the only child to buy for, when you ask for a slurpee as big as you are, you just might get it.

Right as I snapped her picture the train whistle sounded and I was lucky enough to capture her surprised face.

And when you ask for a face painting...sure, why not?

Me and Chloe had such a great last day together and now we have to run and pick up the monkeys for the last time this year so they can join the fun.  WOO HOO!!!

Oh, and I find it amusing that the Raising Chloe post is sandwiched between this and the American Girl post.  And we wonder why Chloe is a diva?

What a beautiful painted face !And can I just say that I always thought Alyssa looked so much like you but that last picture in the photo booth of you doing the same face WOW! She is another mini you! What a fun momma and me day.

BTW I was going through some of Grandma Loveridge's history and found a picture of you and Seth probably when you were first married or dating. Didn't have time to scan it in...Julie has them now I bet she will! You look so much the same just aged with perfection.

Fun day! Great idea to do that. You will be amazed at how suddenly they don't want to do things like that with you anymore. Enjoy it every minute of every day!

What a fun date with your baby! I need to do that with Grayson. Love the Slurpee's and face painting.

Awww, what a fun time you and Chloe must have had. Love the photo booth pics. Isn't funny how the youngest gets the most attention without us intending it that way. I think I spend more one-on-one time with Violet than I did with the other two just because it was always Annie and Mimi together without the opportunity to get one-on-one with them. Violet is going to be spoiled!
