This past weekend, we met Brian's family in Atlanta to celebrate Brandon's (Brian's cousin) 40th birthday. It had been a while since we were able to meet up with Brian's family, so it was really good to see everyone. I could not get over how big Justin and Bailey had gotten! It seems like just yesterday Bailey was the flower girl in our wedding. She's so tall now!
On Saturday morning we all went to Six Flags. Olivia's Granny Mel volunteered to watch her while Brian and I rode the rollercoasters. Olivia and her Granny had a great time. They played all day long. Everyone else also had a good time at the park. Brian and I were happy because we were able to ride five coasters- including the new mega-coaster, Goliath. Five coasters isn't too bad for a Saturday in July!
Olivia was too small to ride most rides, but we did put her on the carousel. She rode it twice and seemed to like it. The only other ride at the park that she could ride was The Monster Plantation. This was a boat ride through a house with animated monsters in it. I had ridden this ride a few years ago and remembered that it was fairly tame. Since she had liked the carousel so much, I thought she might like this also. She did great for the first part of the ride. She would watch the "monsters" play ball and sing. Everything was going fine. Then came the part of the ride called the "Haunted Forest". Olivia did not like the Haunted Forest- it was too dark and scary. I felt bad for taking her on that ride afterwards. She seemed to forget about it pretty quickly, though.
I think that everyone had a good time in Atlanta. Hopefully, we'll all be able to do this again soon.
