The Bunch Head to Six Flags Over Texas

Kids loved the gun show and we got to take pics afterwards!

Being a homeschool family, we take full advantage of all the perks that the public schools give their students. Most companies, Six Flags included, allow homeschoolers to participate in their reading programs and earn free tickets. We made Monday our Six Flags day, though contrary to popular belief it was still NOT a free day. By the time we bought tickets for the other 2, paid for parking, and food we still spent about $250. However, it is worth it. If you go on a Monday or Tuesday, there is not very many people there. I think the longest line was about 30 minutes (which is really good since sometimes on weekends ride lines are about 1.5 hours!). We learned our lesson last time and started the kids in Looney Toons Land and worked our way up to the bigger rides. The Titan and the Oil Derrick were the only things closed all day when we were there. We arrived around 10:30 am when they opened and rode all the rides we wanted to by 5:30pm. We were hot and tired when we left and I am not sure the kids could have lasted walking around much farther. If you plan to go in the Texas heat, make sure to drink lots of water. There are also lots of cool zones through out the park to help keep you from over heating. We had a great time!
Kids mini superman ride.

Kids liked this teacup ride, but the bigger one in Spain made them sick!

You can make the plane go up and down by controlling the stick.

These were too tame, I made them do the bigger ones later.

Heading out on the mine train, a favorite.

We had the boys in one and the girls in the other.

The Bunch Are Off To A Wonderful 2025 And Are Considering A Change 🤔

It's official, she has a college diploma!! Besides totally enjoying a drama free year, we have been consciously spending time doing things as a family and spending time with each child doing things they enjoy. D has been playing ball and watching movies with his larger "mini me" while A and I have been spending a lot of time in Dallas going to the theatre. A absolutely loves going to see off Broadway productions! I won't be surprised in the slightest if she ends up getting season tickets. Dallas Broadway does a lottery to each show where if they draw your name you have 3 hours to buy tickets for $39 each including all fees! That is an absolute steal! She actually won the lottery on Tuesday so we went that night to see the production of "& Juliet". The seats she won were FANTASTIC! They don't give you cheap seats in the back for the lottery. You win good seats. The seats we ended up with worked out to be only about a quarter of the regular price! We h...

The Bunch Celebrate Christmas

  It's become tradition for T to wear a Santa hat on Christmas. Our Christmas was pretty low key. D was able to go in late so he was able to have Christmas with us before he went to work which was really nice. The kids and I packed up and moved Christmas brunch to C&H's house since he needs to stay close to home and we worried about the lack of emergency care both on the way to our house and while here. I made up a potato casserole ahead of time, brought stuff for garden scrambled eggs, and banana bread while H made a really good cranberry punch and some pigs in a blanket. I have to say for only 5 people we had a ton of food! In fact, T ate so much for brunch I don't think he really ate anything for the rest of the day. He also finished his very last hour of driving on his way back home! Driver's license here we come....next week! After the mess Axl made last time we left him in his crate, we reenforced the doors with zip ties. We also made sure to take him on a wal...

The Bunch Visit Family

  We had fun playing some board games...and it wasn't even a fun jar idea! We just did it because it sounded like fun! The fun jar has been a little slow being implemented this year. T made sure to let me know! We're making up for it next week by drawing several things.  We have had a wonderfully busy week visiting family and getting things done around the house. We went over to my parents house to celebrate Father's Day and while the boys played games with Grandpa, the girls went with Grandma to show her what all the fuss about Trader Joe's is about. She enjoyed looking at all the different things and even found a few gems of her own. It was a nice day and fun to get out together for a little bit. We had a great day!🥰 We picked up Whataburger for my Dad as a treat and my mom made some tots and a side salad up to go with it.💗 We also had a nice long visit with our Aunt P. She's been under the weather and we hadn't had a visit in a couple weeks so it was nice t...
