(Bev, where's yours? :) )
Only at homeschool day would such things happen! All this to say, we had a fantastic time! We will do it again next year, Lord willing!
BTW, how do you spell yamika? (hey, I wasn't homeschooled, what can I say?)

Homeschool Day At Six Flags
What makes homeschool day different from other days at Six Flags? What other day do you see more yamikas and Mennonite head coverings than baseball caps? What other day do I feel like we have a relatively small family? What day at the amusement park do you see more ankle length denim skirts than bikini clad teenagers? While we're on the topic of homeschool fashion, let me just say that I have never seen more color coordinated families in my life donning t-shirts saying things like

Excellent! How fun! Does our family qualify yet to get Bryan one of those tshirts?
I'd heard about those shirts but hadn't seen them, how funny.
Glad you guys had fun. That last picture of Maggie is adorable!
I think it actually might be "yarmulke"...but that's totally a shot in the dark :)
cute pictures!
Amy, you're so smart. I just looked on www.everythingjewish.com and it is indeed spelled "yarmulke". who'd've guessed?!
Zoanna, you've met your match here.
Glad you had fun!! Good to see new pictures of your kids - they are beautiful....can school age boys be beautiful. Well, let's say they are handsome and Maggie is beautiful. :)
Jessica, you definitely could claim "been there, done that, got the t-shirt!" Having five kids certainly isn't for the wimpy!
Suzanne, I think my boys are pretty, but they would prefer being referred to as handsome :).
SO, I am a self-proclaimed wimp and proud of it! :)
So glad ya'll had a fun day at the park.
Yarmulke, but I had to look it up. (My Jewish mother would cringe that I didn't know that. Oh well. I wasn't homeschooled either.)
We had a great time. I got a picture of Jason ducking his un-yarmulked head while my hubby prepared to lob a fast one at him.
The color-coded huge families cracked me up. Seems we kept running into that family of Red Shirts with a kid named Elliot. I was pleasantly relieved that bikini-clad fashion didn't rule the day. WonderWoman was bad enough. Joel stayed yards away from her. I even saw families from Ben's lacrosse team there. Great day.
Bev ought to get one... we were actually talking about that particular t-shirt in Care Group a few months back. (So she is without excuse!)
Correction: replace "get one" with "have one by now." (I need to proofread before I post!)
Travis, I could see a t-shirt like this working well for your particular caregroup. No wimps there, that's for sure :).
BTW, we saw Kevin Meath (sp?)at the park yesterday and he mentioned your blog. He said it was cool that you have a feature that zooms into all of the sovereign grace churches or something. Very cool.
With eight kids under 12 - who needs a t-shirt that says birth control is for wimps?
I actually laughed reading this, because yesterday I had been thinking the exact things.I don't think I've ever seen so many BIG vans in one parking lot!
"He said it was cool that you have a feature that zooms into all of the sovereign grace churches or something. Very cool."
Oh! Well, it isn't a feature on my blog, per se... it's a map I made at wayfaring.com, and they have a page where you can get a piece of HTML to paste in your blog to show your map there. (I'm thinking of doing something similar -- albiet private -- with the new Chesapeake member directory.)
And now that I googled Kevin Meath (didn't recognize the name), I'm wondering, does he have a blog? I've gotten visits from SGM's web servers before (coming from searches on Technorati.com), but I assumed Carolyn McCulley was the über-geek[ette] behind that. Maybe I was wrong... :)
travis, I only know Kevin through Sovereign Grace Magazine. I wrote an article or two for him when he was editor. I have no idea if he has a blog or not. Jason is the one who spoke with him. Maybe you could e-mail him.
