Travels of Mark and Pat: Thursday

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BLAIR

Our Sweet Princess / Sweet Pea is FIVE today!

We all slept in today and then off to Tim Horton's for breakfast and then to Six Flags at Darien Lake (45 minutes southeast). We facetimed with Blair along the way...

What a big day the boys had.....Grandpa, too. This place is huge with so many amusement rides, water rides, souvenir shops, game booths, restaurants, etc., etc. Mark and I had not been to one of these theme parks in a very long time. We are so not into roller coasters and my tummy was churning just watching them roll over and over upside down and all around.....ugh!!!

I found a nice shady spot, grabbed a chaise lounge and enjoyed reading my good book and people watching. Amazing the various bods in bathing suits - some - nice, others, not so pretty! Obesity and tattoos were in great abundance!!! Brady had pointed out that yesterday was "National Tattoo Day"! Yikes....just don't get what that is all about as there is definitely a huge craze going on!

We left the park around 5:30 - very big day in the sun and everyone tired. Back to Catrina and walked (boys rode bikes) to AJ's Snack Shack - another good supper and a beautiful evening to sit outdoors. Brady wanted another lunch there tomorrow, but they don't open till 12, so.....not going to work as we head to Rochester and his flight back to Charlotte.

It's been such a fun week, and will be sad to say good-bye to Brady tomorrow. After he has boarded the plane and taken off, we will take Liam and Connor onto Cooperstown and tour the Baseball Hall of Fame (Saturday) in that neat little town!
