Piper is WIPED OUT!!!

We braved the heat and took the kids to Adventureland today!!  Actually the temp wasn't too bad considering what the mercury said.  The bigger problem was me walking.  I pulled my hip flexor muscle and yesterday, I couldn't walk.  Seriously--COULDN'T WALK!!  Today is much better with the help of Ultram and Ibuprofen.   That's a whole different blog though...  We, of course, had to ride the raging river.  Piper wanted to go on it too and wasn't too impressed.  She didn't cry but stated she wanted to go back.  Sorry Sweet Pea, no turning back on the rides.  Teagan and Chloe were on the same page for rides and Piper and Taffy were on the same level so that worked out pretty well.  Piper wouldn't go on the Frog Hopper, a favorite for Chloe and Teagan.  I even offered to go on it with her but since she couldn't sit on my lap, it was a "no go".  Bummer!!  We almost lost Piper once.  She has NO attention span (much like her mom) and was in "Piper's World" and we took off to get some lunch and she got back in line to ride the little dragon ride.  I looked ALL OVER for her in that little area we were in and, low and behold, the little turd was back on the ride!!  What a RELIEF!!  BUT HELLO!! Stay with us!!  Shane and I both volunteered to go on the Tornado with someone but we had no takers.  Teagan almost consented to going on the big Dragon ride with Daddy but pulled out.  I think he really wanted to ride it too.  Not me, didn't like it the first time 10+ years ago, probably not going to like it any better today.  This wasn't the best week to go since the girls have VBS and Chloe has basketball camp, but what the hey.  It was the only day Shane could get off and the cheap tickets had to be used by a certain date.  Tomorrow is going to be UGLY with some GROUCHY GIRLS!!!  Tonights not too pretty with just Aftyn--she's grouchy so I need to get her into the tub and TO BED!!  Enough for now...-AS
