On our final full day of vacation we didn't have a plan so we just stopped and picked up some pamphlets from the gas station and found something local to do. We ended up at Six Flags America.
We arrived and right as we were paying we received a phone call that our dog had run away. He was staying at home and a friend was coming by and letting him out a few times a day. He had apparently ran towards the woods and never came back. She said he had been gone 2 hours at this point. I immediately called my mom, and some friends to see if they could go over there to help look for him. I also found a photo and posted it on facebook, in several local moms groups and on my personal page. We were freaking out. We were 11 hours away and helpless. He's never done this before so we didn't even know where he might head to. Within 30 minutes I received a message on facebook that a lady in one of my groups had him at her work!! Since my mom was on her way to my house anyways, she stopped and picked him up and brought him home. He was a mile away and had crossed three roads to get where he was, one of them being a very busy road. Luckily, he was safe and back home so we could relax and start having fun at Six Flags.
We all rode all the rides that we could as the park wasn't crowded at all so there were no lines. Mike and I even went on a few roller coasters alone since the kids weren't tall enough.
His head kept falling down so Mike used the camera strap to hold it up. Worked quite well actually. HAHA!
Marley was bummed that she wasn't tall enough for the big fun rides. She was tall enough for the skycoaster though! So her and Mike suited up and took a ride.
If you watch the video, right when they pull the release to swing down you will see Marley's legs on the right side flip up in the air. She almost flipped all the way over! I was video recording and when I saw this in real life I was freaking out. I don't think she was supposed to flip like that. Mike didn't even know it had happened until I showed him the video. We both decided she's not going on one of these again until she's a lot bigger. It was so scary! You can actually kind of hear the gasps from other people that were watching.
We finished up the day and headed back to Mike's sisters for dinner. After dinner she kept the kids while Mike and I went out for yogurt at Sweet Frog. We got our yogurt and ate it outside in the peace and quiet.
