Family Reunion - Porter Edition

My brother, Matt, and his family drove down to Texas from Ohio in early June.  We hadn't seen them in about 3 years.  It was so good for the kids to get reacquainted and just to hang out with Matt.  We just wish their stay was a little longer.  Matt's boys just really wanted to swim so we did lots of swimming, played some Just Dance (Grandma got in on the action too), and spent a day at 6 Flags (A pretty empty day too, we rode rides over and over again).  Laurie even flew out a joined us with her youngest.  It was almost a complete Porter reunion, we were missing Laurie's husband and older boys.  Maybe next year.

It's Dy-no-mite!

The last ride we rode with the kids was a new one for us, I can't remember what it was called but it spins you while you go on the coaster.  Matt and I were riding with Kaitlyn and she started freaking out as soon as we started picking up speed.   I was laughing too hard at her reaction and the ride I showed her no sympathy.

Matt sat across from us on a boat ride so we were facing him.  He was trying to get a picture of the group.  Another family sat in front of us and was directly now in front of Matt.  Matt pretended his record for holding in the throw up on  a ride was 15 seconds.  The kids in front were getting a little worried.  Matt acted out that he was getting sick and made us all laugh.  Next time he'll have to play it up a little more.

At the end Matt really wanted to ride the Superman ride so I joined him.  It was fun listening to Matt scream a little bit.  Good times.

 Laurie's youngest was born a week after Alec.  They happen to have matching Pjs!
