Six Flags!

Sunday was a great day! We decided (although rather foolishly)that we would visit Six Flags on the absolute last day of Joe's spring break. Now, this was a bittersweet choice. It was great because the park was nearly empty...but Joe might have been the slightest bit grumpy at school today. Sorry Ms. P!There were places like this one where there were so few people that it was just eerie...must be the recession.
Before I tell you about our day, I just wanted to note that when you have people in mass gatherings (even a small mass) there are two things that you will always see. Go ahead...guess.

1. Questionable fashion choices.There were worse ones than this, but I feel like I can only pick on someone if they do it on purpose since I am not exactly the fashion police.

2. Overt public displays of affection. Come on y'all, I can't photograph that. I'll just chalk it up to spring fever...or maybe he really did lose something in her back pocket. Annnywaaaay......

We all had a wonderful time and after a two hour nap today, I'm good as new. Joe especially enjoyed himself, but things got a little hairy when it came to the roller coasters. Joe is a roller coaster veteran having mastered such beasts as the Scorpion, Mummy and Kwazi in Orlando.
Joe forgot this apparently.

Joe: I wanna ride NINJA!
(we approach said Ninja)
Joe: Nevermind, I'm just gonna wait down here with Mama
Mama: Oh no you don't we bought season passes, you'll be fine.
(coercion continues.......Joe takes his seat on Ninja beside Jason because I am untrustworthy and will surely let him fall to his death)
(safety bar fastens)
Joe: NOOO! LET ME OFF I DON'T WANNA DIIIIIIIE! (people stare...."How dare they FORCE that poor child to ride roller coasters at Six Flags!")
Jason: Joe, man up, you'll be fine. You've done this a hundred times.
(ride starts.......30 seconds of screaming)
Joe: (wobbly) Oh Man...that was AWESOME!!!!!

Doesn't he look like he enjoyed himself? Maybe it was the forty dollar pizza.


He met Daffy Duck and Sylvester. He thought Sylvester was a skunk. Poor kid, he only knows Nickelodeon.
He was only moderately impressed by Batman and not at all by Wonder Woman. He was probably bothered by her horrendous posture. I'll tell you what he was VERY impressed with....


Jason winning him TWO basketballs!!!

It was a good day! Notice the aforementioned forty dollar pizza. I carried the leftovers around all day in lieu of riding rides. If you know me, you will know that if I have to pay FORTY DOLLARS for a medium sized Papa Johns pizza and there are leftovers, they will not go to waste under any circumstances.
All in all, I'm glad we got the season passes. I guess that means we'll be seeing a lot more questionable fashion choices in large quantities this year!
