Poor Little Piggies

My feet hurt!  I feel like I haven't sat down since I got off of work yesterday.  Last night was Shelby's first soccer practice.  She was so excited and looked so cute in her shin guards and cleats.  Once the other girls got out there she reverted to "Shy Shelby" though and almost acted as though she had never played soccer before!  Jeremy was getting so frustrated watching her.  I had to remind him that she was the same way at her first gymnastics class.  She just has to warm up and get to know the girls and she will do fine. 

While Shelby was at practice I took Joey and walked the trail at the park.  I'm not that out of shape that that's what killed me.  What killed me was the fact that I was wearing my inserts for plantar fasciitis after not wearing them for a while.  I forgot it takes a while to get used to those hard plastic things.

When Jeremy and I realized we had a cold front coming through last night and that the weather was going to be beautiful, we decided to surprise the girls and take them to Six Flags today.It was so fun to see their faces when we pulled up.  Last week when we went to Six Flags in San Antonio it was incredibly hot, humid, there was no shade anywhere, Joey could not ride ANY rides, Shelby could only ride a handful of rides, and the splash park had no water because of water restrictions.  The one positive thing they had going for them was that the water park was included with admission to Six Flags.  In Arlington, Hurricane Harbor is a completely separate park and is an additional $30+.  But, even though the water park is not included here, there is so much more for kids at the Six Flags in Arlington.  Joey rode 11 rides, and Shelby rode something like 15.  We never waited more than 5 minutes for a ride.  It was great!  And pretty much everywhere you walk is shaded.  We seriously had the best time with the girls.  We were there 5 hours and would have stayed longer but we needed to get home.

Shelby pretended she was scared after the pirate ship ride...

...but soon she was all smiles.

 

 

Once we got home I immediately had to get ready to chaperone the stake youth dance tonight.  For some insane reason I decided to wear pinchy heels.  But I had a fun time tonight embarrassing lots of YM and YW.  One of my pet peeves is to see youth not participating at activities- especially dances!  So I was literally grabbing guys by the arm and pulling them to our YW and making them dance.  One of our YW thanked me profusely afterward, so I think it was worth it!  Now time for bed...maybe I can convince Jeremy to rub my feet.
