Six Flags Marine World!!!!

Towards the end of the summer, Aaron and I went home to California for a big family river rafting trip! So, of course, we had to make a quick trip to Six Flags! This was Aaron's first time ever meeting SHOUKA, the killer whale!


We started off our amazing day riding all the roller coasters! V2 was our favorite! After a few hours of riding crazy and exhilarating rides, we decided to explore the rest of Marine World. We found the Shark Aquarium, which of course, caught Aaron's attention. We ended up staying with the sharks for a while! (Aaron would have been so happy if we brought our tent and camped out with the sharks all night!)



After watching the tiger show, riding on the swinging boat, and eating an over priced hamburger, we FINALLY made it to the Shouka show!! Shouka was amazing!!!


(I LOVE HIM!!)

Being at Six Flags was so amazing! We loved spending time together and exploring new things! Oh, and here is something that will make you laugh :))



(We will post pictures for the river rafting trip soon :))

The Wild Wild West!!

Yesterday we went on an exciting adventure! Titus and Kiyona begged Uncle Aaron to take them horseback riding. After a few phone calls and a few hours of waiting, they both were finally up on a horse for their first time!

Titus rode by himself. He loved it!!



Kiyona decided to ride with me. She loved to trot on the horse!



AND then, the wild adventure started. Up to this point, both the horses were perfect.  Winchester (the horse that Grandpa and Titus were on) decided he didn't want any riders on his back anymore. He dumped them both onto the side of the road. Titus comfortably landed on top of Grandpa. Everyone was ok!



And then our horse started acting up. She decided that she didn't want Kiyona and I on her back anymore either. Sandy started kicking and bucking, but we were lucky enough to hang out and endure the crazy ride.

Overall, the adventure was a TON of fun! My favorite part was when Aaron and I went off and raced our horses. (of course, Aaron was on the faster horse!) We were all true cowboys and cowgirls yesterday!!
