Six Flags Arlington Adventure


The front fountain

So... on August 9th, we went to Six Flags to use the two tickets that J-Pony and I-Dude earned for reading 600 minutes each last school year. (August 9th was the last day we could've used them. Yep, it was a Saturday, but our budget said that's the only time we can go, so that's when we went.)

We took along L-Infinity's school friend Daniel W. He was great with the kids and even helped Mr. Man convince L to go on some big roller coasters like the Gotham City the Ride and The Texas Giant. We also went on the "Vibora" or viper, a luge-type of a ride, the log ride that was quite disappointing (we didn't get wet, just sprinkled on) and of course, the boot ride and the fun Chaparral vintage cars ride.

Eating was an adventure itself; getting through a long line of stinky, wet, loud people was not pleasant for me at all while the prices almost made me swoon. The best part of this adventure was the fact that we had a great time, loaded up on sodas and water, enjoyed a "heart-stopping" decadent chocolate concoction from Cold Stone and having some alone time with I and J while they are having fun.

Enjoy the pictures...
