How many flags?

SIX FLAGS!!!!

That's right my friends.  Six Flags St. Louis to be more exact.  That is where the Wilcoxon Wacky Weekend took us last weekend.  Us wacky Wilcoxons, sans Aaron because he lives too far away, (Whatever!  Living in South Korea is no excuse...;)) piled into a 15 passenger van and road tripped down to St. Louis. 



Breakfast on the go...Yum...Chocolate Donuts!



We always have such a fun time when we get together.  There is always the wildly inappropriate that probably shouldn't be discussed on a public forum, arguing, laughing, debating, food, heated discussion and more laughing!  Yes, those Wilcoxon boys can't say no to fighting.  However, there were no tears and just laughter after, which is always good.

  Thank goodness we had Lena in the back with the map to let Poppy know where he needed to go.  I am certain we would have been hopelessly lost without her navigation skills. 

Here the nice security guard took a picture of all 5..er..6 of us!  Lena got in too and doesn't she look so excited?! 

We tried to take more pictures this time.  We usually forget and then later I get bummed that I didn't think to take more.  However....we all went on LOTS of rides so there wasn't anyone to just stand around and snap good shots.

                 



Can you find our bus?!



It was a Super Six Flags Day...times 2.  All the kids rode on the rides and I was pleasantly surprised at how much they all like them.  Rhianna was bummed that she was too short to ride on The Batman and she also really wanted to go on American Thunder (formerly named Evel Kneivel).  Um...I am glad she was too short.  Those are 2 *I* won't go on!  And of course she also would have liked to be tall enough to go on the Superman.  You know the one that goes straight up in the air and then suddenly DROPS you to the ground?  By the way, that one had issues while we were there that left some riders up at the top for 15 minutes.  ScArY!!!  But we went on other ones that were just as jolting and fun.  Hence Zaia's neck injury 2 days later.  Yes friends, the only bad part of this trip was 2 days later when poor Zaia woke up screaming that her neck hurt.  After a visit to the doc, our thoughts were confirmed...she had a neck strain.  Our pediatrician described it as not as bad as whiplash, but along those lines.  I felt like a horrible mom, until he noticed my face and said "No it is fine!  She can go on them next time and may not have any problems.  No biggie."  (I love Dr. Knight.  He is just as good with me as he is with the kids.)  So after 2 days of heat, her neck is fine.  :)   Needless to say we had a blast and can't wait to go back.  We have season passes for this year and I know we will be making the trek back to St. Louis more than once.  We might also head up north to Chicagoland as our passes are good there as well.  Here's to not just a Six Flags day, but a Six Flags SUMMER!!!!
