Family Goes to Six Flags

Chase's brother and sister-in-law, Tony and Melissa, came into town this weekend. Tony is in the army so they were/are moving from North Carolina to El Paso and Dallas just happens to be on the way. They stayed with us a couple nights which was GREAT because I haven't seen them since our wedding...almost 3 years ago! Tony was deployed to Afghanistan for 15 months and returned this past May.

Tony loves roller-coasters so he had the great idea of going to Six Flags. We googled 'six flags promo code' and found one that made the ticket price $24!!! It was a BEAUTIFUL day outside and we walked onto to almost every ride...no lines! We had a great time...well, except for the Texas Giant...you couldn't pay me to go on that ride again. It's the largest wooden roller coaster in the world, and I think it should be re-named something like 'Whip Lash'. The last time I rode it I was in high school and I didn't remember it being that bad. I left the ride with a few bruises!

Chase and Tony deciding where to go next... I believe Batman was next.




Wow, don't they look a TON alike! But guess who's older.......nope, Tony is!

This was Batman for the second time. I like the ride but not enough to do it twice in one afternoon so I opted out.
There they go! Chase, Tony, and Melissa are in the very front.


My hubby and Tony are a sucker for games. I was amazed they only played one the entire day. Read the rules...

...okay, that sounds easy enough. I mean the guy working it did it with no hands! Surely it can't be that bad! Tony's up first...
...LOOK! There's the RED Rung! SO close!...
....Almost there.....wait! I think he's falling left! Oh No!
Okay, now it's Chase's turn. GO HUBBY!!!! Win that fish for me!!!

...getting closer!....


....Look at that determination and focus. But alas, he didn't quit make it....
...Let's take a look at the prize that I didn't get...
There you have it, a big. blue. fish/shark/thing. Bummer! I had a spot for it all picked out...sad face.
Yep, these pic's are still Six Flags.
