BavarianBeatle Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 Awesome TR!! KI is about that special family time. I have about 3 more seasons before my kids won't want to be seen with me, and I always appreciate every moment with them, especially after July when I look at the park schedule and see that the season is winding down. And, btw, your 12 year old has good taste in music. Hope she's not a "Problem Child" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, Katie is far from a "problem Child"......but, we have in the past said that it should be the theme song of our 4 year old......Gheez...talk about a handful!!!! Katie was, however, completely mortified when I had, as she called it, a "retard moment" and started doing the Thriller dance while walking by the 80's show while they were singing it. She was so upset with me, that I HAD to follow it up with a little moonwalking!!!!! Her head went down, and she ran from the scene!!! It was priceless!!!!

A_Titanic_Mess Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 Maddie is adorable. KI should put her in a commercial ASAP!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WooferBearATL Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 Maddie is adorable. KI should put her in a commercial ASAP!!! Seriously. Could you see shots of her running through the park an pointing at attractions. Then to end have her rest her head on dad as they watch the fireworks. Perfect commercial.

Tomkatt7 Posted August 4, 2008 Author Share Posted August 4, 2008 Thats very nice, thanks. I'd love to see her in a KI commercial too. Because that would mean another trip to the park!!!!! We had a carachture drawing made of her back in Rivertown. I told the girl drawing her to put devil horns on her. It turned out really good!!!!

I have always been around people struggling with weight issues, so I know how hard it can be. I hope you can keep it off, and don't forget to try a few back flips on the bungy!!!

The Interpreter Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Way too old for that. The sign says no one over a certain age (18?) can do back flips. Why I am not so sure... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomkatt7 Posted August 18, 2008 Author Share Posted August 18, 2008 OK....It's only 2 weeks later, but Here is Maddie on her first "big" ride. She swears she loved it, although you can hear her screaming through the whole thing. I worried from time to time that she'd pass out, she didn't seem to be taking in enough air, it was all coming out!!! LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
