Went to Six Flags today...

Went to Six Flags today with Shaun, Cade, Shadow, and one of his friends.  Had a pretty good time.  My brother had never even been, so... it was time.  🙂

For my brother's first roller coaster we rode the Goliath because we are crazy, I guess.  Got a pretty epic photo of me clutching my glasses / hiding my face.  Shaun was super pumped - with the arm I wasn't clinging to for dear life up in the air like he just didn't care, and Cade looked completely unconcerned about anything.  LOL  Shadow didn't ride that one, but his friend did.  He didn't look all that afraid, either.

Generally speaking I know that roller coasters are pretty safe, but the big ones aren't my favorite.  I just hunker down, shut my eyes, hold on to shit, and wait for it to be over.  LOL  I rode some of the less intense stuff and really enjoyed that.  I think the Mine Train was my favorite.  I kept my eyes open and giggled the whole way through that one.  😃

I rode the Riddler next to Cade and since the bar was so far in front of me I rode it bent over.  Haha.  Cade had his arms in the air, but at some point we went through a loop and due to the force he couldn't keep his arms up, so he kind of punched me in the back of the head.  LOL

The Batman ride was closed because a light was out in the hall.  Unfortunately, we didn't find that out until we'd walked almost all the way up there.  Boo.  I really wanted to ride that one.  🙁  I rode the Ninja with Cade and I thought that ride was gonna beat me to death.  My head was banging around all over the place.  🙁  On the bright side I saw two turtles in the water below after we got out.  And I find it really funny that there were turtles at the Ninja ride...

I guess we chose a great day to go.  While it was hot, it was also breezy and overcast for a good chunk of the day.  Also, we never had to wait in line for more than 15 minutes or so for anything.  Some things we just walked right up and got in.  I have never had that happen on any trip to Six Flags in my life.  Not that I'm a frequent go-er, but you know.

Anyway, super thanks to Colin and Nancy for the tickets they couldn't use when they were here.  That really helped because tickets for 5 people would have been crazy expensive.  I wish y'all could have been with us.  Maybe we'll get to do that again one day soon!  ❤
