Counting Down

It's five day to my wedding - five days! We're getting our license this afternoon and then have to take the required Natural Family Planing course tonight (allways at the last minute...).

We spent the weekend to D/FW. On Saturday, we went to DFW airport to pick up my family with Hanka's family. There flight got delayed half an hour and it took them some time to get out from the plane (with three small kids) and through customs. By the time they appeared, Hanka and her mom were nervous wrecks. Mom and Dad, as well as my sister and her husband, look just the same as when I last saw them. Rafael, Aline and Moritz have grown a lot, though. The biggest change was in Moritz who was a baby last time we saw him and now is a very energetic two year old. We managed to load everyone into their rental minivan (thanks to everyone who contributed a child seat) and made it back to Ron and Hanka's. Despite the jet lag, the kids managed to stay up until past eight, without exhibiting any major crankyness!

On Sunday we everyone at Six Flags - we even managed to convince Danny and Joanna to join us. Jennifer's dad scored $25 tickets for most of us and my parents and aunt got in on senior tickets. That is totally weird since my parents are not seniors, no matter what their birth date and Six Flag's rules say! It will be a long time before I can think of them in those terms.

Six Flags was hot and crowded and we still had lots of fun. We spent the first half with my family - moving slowly from attraction to attraction and then braking for lunch for my family's first corn dogs. After lunch Jfer and I split off and spend most of the time waiting in line for a couple of "adult" rollercoasters. At the end of the day we dropped of Danny and Joanna at their house, picked up Homer at Jennifer's dad's and headed back home to Austin. We now have two days of relative peace (and chores) before my family descends on us.
