Last week a friend of ours had extra tickets to Six Flags, Magic Mountain. Kinley and I decided this would be a great opportunity to hang out just the two of us. So we ventured off to Six Flags, with a couple to-do's in mind. We had to ride the new Lex Luthor Drop of Doom of course, because it is new. So excitedly we got in the car, with plans of adventure. (It was not as well planned as I had hoped)
We got to the park and waited in lines to park and waited in line to enter. It was probably one of the hottest days of the week. So we were both needing to cool down and a drink. After we did that I let her drag me on the rides she wanted. We did Goliath, which we had done before, but its still funny every time she yells I can't feel my legs when we are riding it. (This is not chemo related, it happened before she was even diagnosed).
The next ride was the ride we had been waiting for. I will have to say it was an amazing experience, not due to the ride itself but for the conversation we had while in line. My daughter actually kissed me on the cheek, eat your heart out other moms of tweens I didn't even have to make her. She also told me that it was one of the best days ever cause she got to hang out with me. It was great to hang out with my daughter and hear her actually tell me she liked me;) She also made it clear that she liked me cause I listened to her when she had a problem, but that I also made sure she had rules. Again shocking yet still the best words EVER!!
After a couple more rides and sharing a bite to eat. I was not feeling the best and was going to let Kin ride a ride alone. However, since we had not gotten to ride tons due to the lines, and how crappy I felt she waited for me so we could ride our last ride together!
I have to say between the heat, and not keeping up with enough fluids, I got a horrid case of heat exhaustion. However, it was every bit worth it. It was awesome hanging out with my baby girl, who is surely not a baby anymore and just enjoying our day with nothing else to worry about. It was nice to just do normal things for once. Thanks to great friends who helped make this day happen!
