Day at Six Flags


Yesterday I took the kids to Six Flags. They had such a good time! My son brought along a friend so he really enjoyed getting to go on the big rides he doesn't normally get to go on when its just me and the kids.


Bugs and the gang...

Here is Claire with that Six Flags guy from their commercials. They have a mask that he wears and it is really creepy! The eyes look human but they never move or blink. Its like they are just staring at you. I can't believe Claire wanted to take a picture of him. I think he would freak most kids out!


This is the Mr. Freeze Ride. My son had never been on it before. You go through loops, then they bring you straight up and drop you backwards through the loops! This sounds just awful to me, but my son loved it! He and his friend rode it 3 times! That's all he could talk about yesterday when we got home! (A close up picture of the ride is my new header picture.)




Claire loves to take pictures with all the characters! Its funny, at Disney there are always lines to meet the characters. At six flags the poor things just wander around until someone like Claire comes up and asks to take a picture with them!




On the log ride...




Whee! Claire is the one with her hands up in the air!



I don't really like Six Flags. I only go because the kids to a reading club every year in which they (and me since I'm the teacher) get free tickets. They have fun though. Yesterday it was really empty for a theme park in summertime. There was hardly a wait for anything. I guess its the economy? I'm not sure, but I couldn't believe how few people were there.
