6 Flags Adventure

Derek and I felt so cool. We decided to join Auntie Fran, Uncle Bill, and Angela on a spur of the moment trip to 6 Flags. Spur of the moment...meaning 8 hours before we planned to go. We had a great time, rode three roller coasters (front seat on two of them), and felt like we were 25 again! Thank you for a great evening!
Miss. Emma loves her carousel rides. Love the excitement in her eyes :)
Not so much excitement here... 
Flying the airplanes, notice how both are steering with their right foot!
We may have gotten a little ahead of ourselves on this one... 
A pirate ship that went back and forth but also spun in circles. Woofster!
This is more our speed, driving in the cars.
First ride on the ferris wheel!
Amelia and her daddy.
Emma and Angela. Emma was supposed to be sitting opposite of Angela but her kung foo grip prevented that from happening. 
Big girl swings. 
That's my nose UB!
We ended the night playing on a playground that was perfect for the girls.
Favorite pic of the day: "CAUTION Do Not Climb"

In case you were wondering...

After about 6+ years of having not been on a roller coaster, this is how we decided to ease back into it. We opted to be wild and crazy and sit in the front row. As the ride started we were pulled backwards up the ramp on the left, see arrow. We watched the ground move further and further away. Once we came to a stop and all was silent, we both yelled out to each other... "What are we doing?? We have kids to think about?? We are so dumb!" And then without a further thought we were released and launched  through the ride at an incredible speed. At the end of the ride, we both agreed that we felt at least 5 years younger and we were ready for another!

The last ride of the night was our third roller coaster and the last thing I remember is screaming at the top of my lungs "OH MY GOD, MY LEGS ARE GOING TO GET CUT OFF." It was so much fun, thanks again for a great night!
