Six Flags

My sister Mandy is on the Axillary board for Children's Medical Center, and they were having a private party at Six Flags of Texas, so she got tickets for my kiddos, me, her, and my mom. This is now becoming a yearly tradition. They went without me last year. I can't even remember what I had going on, but let me tell you that I will never miss again. We had the BEST time! And I must say we were very spoiled because there were hardly any lines!!! Blake and I would ride a ride, and immediately do it again because no one was in line. I think though, that I am just too old to be riding some of those rides I used to love growing up. Blake wanted to ride all the big rides, but I had to limit him to just a few of them because I knew I couldn't handle them. Yes, sad I know! Blake, Mandy, and I rode the Bobsled when we first got there, then it was on to much bigger rides like the Shockwave, the classic Judge Roy Scream, Aquaman (which Blake did by himself and got completely soaked!), the Cave ride, and the scary Titan! Wow! Brooklyn got to ride a bunch of rides in the Looney Toon section. She was in heaven. We all had a blast and can't wait for next year!!!!
We got inside the park and guess who we say?!?! Mr. Six (so they call him)...the official man of Six Flags. Ha! I had to take my picture with him!

Blake after getting of Aquaman...which used to be Splash Waterfalls in my day. He was SOAKED!

Brooklyn and Mandy got to ride lots of rides too!



Dinner time...YUM YUM!

Blake playing a game. He threw the ball and knocked down three blocks. Apparently you have to knock them off the table to get a big prize......hmmmmm, no fair!

The tradition is to ride the Merry Go Round right before we leave the park.....
