Labor Day Weekend Fun

We took a trip to Arlington on Friday to go to Six Flags. We were actually meeting Papa, to drop off Mimi. Mimi spent a week with us and spoiled us rotten. I got to eat out every day for lunch while she was here. I loved it. I also got to sleep in a bit because Mimi was here to take care of Charley when he woke up for the day at the crack of dawn. On our way to Arlington, we stopped to eat fried chicken at a place called Babe's. We were pleasantly surprised when the wait staff took turns singing country songs for us while we ate our dinner. One waitress came over singing her song to a mashed potato face Charley. He looked up and just smiled at her. What a cutie! Cory now calls him Taters. We made it to Arlington and spent the night. We noticed that there were a lot of families with children all over the hotel. There was a soccer tournament going on with a lot of rambunctious boys. Around 1:00 am the fire alarm goes off in the hotel and we are told to exit the building using the stairs. Well, Cory, me, Charley and sleepy Katie exit the building, but Mimi was not with us. She did not want to leave the hotel in her gown so she did not come down. After finding out it was a false alarm, we go back up to our room where Mimi is standing on the balcony with her clothes on. She changed out of her gown but decided not to come down. I gave her a lecture and my brother also gave her a lecture over the phone. The next morning we all went to Six Flags and had a lot of fun. Charley, Katie and Mimi hung out while Cory and I rode the roller coasters. I think I am officially too old for roller coasters, my body ached the next day from the jerky rides. Papa got stuck in the thunderstorms and could leave to pick up Mimi, so the next day we took her to meet Papa in Wichita Falls. They were so happy to see one another.
