More Flags. More Fun. Six Flags.
Wow. Think Lagoon, only bigger, hotter, sweaty-er, and dirtier. (Not actual trash, but you know, dirt.)That's Six Flags.
More Flags. More Fun.
We got to meet Scooby Doo and Shaggy. Way better than Sleeping Beauty.
Tyler got a birthday hug from Bugs Bunny.
In line for our first ride, the sweating was only beginning.
Terry and Maris (or Taris, as we call them) were lucky enough to get to spend most of the day on the big rides with the big kids.
We brought along a girl and Aliza loved it! Amber was so much fun!
We stood in line for this ride for 1 and a half hours. And then, just as we were getting to the stairs and we were just about to the ride and they shut it down!!!
We finally got on...it was such a fun ride! It was like a luge. I loved it, but it was wayyyyyy too short for the amount of time we spent in line.
Lunch was, wow. Expensive. We got all three of the kid's entrance tickets for free, nada. So almost $10 for a burger and waffle fries was a shocker! We got free refillable cups for $14.99, (two to share) and when we got off one of the rides, someone had stolen my cup!!! Why would you want a cup that someone else had been drinking out of??? What if I had some horrid contagious disease? Yuck.
At least Nancy liked it!!
Flash Gordon and the Green Lantern!!
The birthday boy taking a break.
Lucy showing off her wicked skills.
Mmmmm. Pizza.
Hey what's the hold up? Who's bright idea was this?
Hi, Parker!!!
At the end of the day, we totally felt like SuperWomen. If not a little exhausted.
The weather was actually quite good for August in Texas. We had passes that the kids had earned in reading and they had to be used by August 9th. So Maris took the day off, we gathered a few friends and headed off for a fun, full day at Six Flags. The kids had a total blast. There were more roller coasters than we had time to ride in a day. Aliza talked me into riding the Flashback with her, which wasn't too bad until it started moving. I absolutely refused to get on Mr. Freeze and the Texas Giant. My almost 39 year old body just cannot handle rides like they could when I was 17!! Give me the Jet Star and the Spider any day!! We made it home around 11 with sore feet and great memories!!Six Flags!!!
More Flags! More Fun!!!
More Flags! More Fun!!!
This is a rendering of the new stadium.
After the games and the grand tour, they laid their bags out on the turf of the indoor field and had a big father-son sleepover. What an opportunity of a lifetime.
Today while Tyler and Parker played with Tanner, we took his little sisters, McKinley and Regan with us to Stonebriar to see Kit Kittredge: An American Girl.
