Death by Chocolate...and Rollercoasters...

So unfortunately even though I've only missed one weekends entry it makes me feel like I am ridiculously behind in the blogging! This entry is from last weekend (16th/17th May)...

Friday night was the first time I've got dressed up in a costume since me and Krystle's fantabulous (and untoppable) Disney party in December. The girls and I played a Murder Mystery Dinner Party entitled 'Death by Chocolate' in which we had to figure out who killed famous chocolateuir Billy Bonka. I played classy yet eccentric archeologist Dr Doris Johnson and we also had Chocolat Bertrand (Alice), Dame Barbara Carthorse (Sarah), Dr Sigmund Fraud (Steph), Marchioness Duchamp (Alissa), Maria Von Schnapp (Frannie) and the murderer Mike Bison (Lou). We had so much fun listening to t he crazy french investigator on the game's dvd, and reading our booklets with dialogues and clues and asking crazy questions! Lots of photos which you've probably seen on myspace, and something we can hopefully do again if we find another cheap murder mystery kit (I got the one we played for $5)!

Sunday was the big day we had planned for a while - going to Six Flags Great Adventure!! Six Flags is a theme park that they have all over America and the one we went to was in New Jersey about 1 1/2 away. Its sort of like movie world because it has the superheroes and looney tunes characters. Its more of a thrill park then Disney, because so many rollercoasters and not as much aimed at kids/families. It was the first time we had ALL the girls together - Me, Sarah, Frannie, Steph, Lou, Alissa, Alice and Emma. We all piled into Alissa's family's car and got there in about 2 hours because we got a little lost (stupid GPS!!). The rollercoasters were absolutely INSANE!! I went on a wooden rollercoaster that had a drop that was almost vertical, and only had the lap bar not the one that goes over ur head...it was so bloody scary I seriously thought I was going to fall out!! I then chickened out on another rollercoaster that had a similar drop because it only had a lap bar too and that just scared me too much. We went on a log ride, and the first time we didn't get wet at all, so we decided to go again and got SATURATED! It was such a cold and windy day that we had to use this huge dryer that they had next to the ride!! We stayed all day so about 10 hours of theme park fun haha. We also got old time photos which was so much fun, dressing up as barmaids and can can girls!
