I'm sunburned.
My throat is raw from screaming.
My feet feel like they ran a marathon. In flip flops.
I might have a concussion.
...but it was SO worth it. There are few things in this world that I love more than a rollercoaster.
But Six Flags is about so much more than rollercoasters. It's about walking really quickly past the giant stuffed animal-peddling carnies. It's about embarrassing the crap out of your nieces by forcing them to pose for pictures in front of EVERYTHING. It's about paying $4.99 for 32 ounces of Powerade. It's about realizing that you're finally a mature adult because the concession prices disgust you. It's about buying the Powerade anyway because your only other option is death.

I always thought you might be a Super Hero. Now I have no doubts.
Looks like so much fun!! Did you take your children?? If not.. you are my hero!!
Ah Six Flags. I have lovely memories of the one in Valencia CA. I was in 8th grade and threw up on Riddler in front of everyone. Worst part--it wouldn't come off with the buckets of water they had- so they just ran it through without anyone on it to fling it off. Yucko to the max! Having said that- I still miss the coasters. Haven't been on one in years. Looks like I know what we'll be doing next summer :) Glad you had fun embarrassing nieces- what else are good aunts for? (PS in case you're wondering Julie is my madre :)
Tawny--no, we left our shorter kidlets with my pregnant little sister. I felt kinda guilty. Not guilty enough, obviously. It was a BLAST.
Maggie--what an AWESOME Six Flags story! I had that little nagging fear all day yesterday--"is *this* the ride on which I'm going to hurl my partially digested curly fries???" And I figured out that that was your mom. I'm so smart, I can't stand it.
Worst Robin EVAR!
Meegan is jelly btw
Jelly? I feel vaguely insulted.
Again, I wish I were/was in Texas. It looks like fun.
Six Flags sounds a lot like Lagoon, at least as far as the carnies go. But without them, I wouldn't have a cool plush fuschia pencil, which is--of course--now a necessity.
Looks like fun! I bought nice reef flip flops because I needed better "theme park enjoying" shoes when I lived in Orlando ;-)
P.S. Someday your nieces will be glad you posed them in front of everything!
