Loony Tunes

I don't know what it is--animals just seem to flock to me (pun totally intended). All three of the characters above are Loony Tunes. If you've been following my journal, you know that's the truth!

Wade and I went to Six Flags this evening for a wild and wacky adventure. Not only did we meet Bugs and Foghorn Leghorn, but we also rode the Batman coaster three times back-to-back and took in a concert (you might have noticed the small mention about that in my previous posts).

We were both struck by the fact that we're really getting older. After a few rides, we completely lost interest in the roller coasters. Either a) we were total exhausted by a long, hot day or b) the thrill and excitement of amusement park rides has diminished in our old age. I think answer "b" is the correct. When our evening came to a close, we practically flew home to be with Liliana. For us, family is where we find our greatest delight.

In a Flash

Anyone in need of a superhero in spandex? Flash Gordon must have mistaken me for Dale Arden in his quest to fight Ming the Merciless and save the world. (Don't get excited, sci-fi fanclub. I'm no Flash fanatic--I found the details on the web.)

Every day holds the possibility of a miracle.

34 going on 14

Yes, I'm practically a stalker now. At least I didn't chase her after the show (like I chased Troy Aikman in 1992--but that's a whole other story) and confess that I voted for her 50 times after each AI episode. I was totally composed. I screamed and cried like Miss America, but I didn't chase her. I'm 34 going on 14 sometimes.

It seems like I now have almost as many photos of Katharine McPhee as I do of my own daughter. Only kidding. My own personal challenge was to capture high quality photos, rather than the dark, blurry concert pics you typically see. So, I took a lot! I'm happy with how they turned out, but I might have to photo-shop myelf into one of them. What I wouldn't give to sing like that. I'd be on the stage in a heartbeat.

Sweet Smile

Today Liliana experienced Six Flags and Hurricane Harbor for the very first time. She really enjoyed the rides in the Bugs Bunny & Friends area. Here she is peeking out of a train ride.

That sweet smile just melts my heart. Wade and I are so blessed that she is a part of our family. I don't know what we would do without her!

Are We Having Fun Yet?

Houston, we have a problem! Despite what it looks like, Liliana is not trying to abort mission. This is her very annoyed "Cheeeeeeese," which occurs regularly when she believes we've taken enough pictures.

For the life of me, I can't understand why she thinks we take a lot of photos. She has only been in the crosshairs of the camera a few thousand times since she was born!

In Flight

Liliana waves to her adoring fans as she single-handedly pilots the Bugs Bunny plane. The temperature was so high this morning that she practically had the kiddie rides to herself. The rest of the guests were cooling off in Hurricane Harbor.

After six or seven rides in the scorching heat, we came to our senses and joined the masses in the water park.
