We had some different friends donate 4 tickets to Six Flags and Rob got the day off so we all got to go together. I’m not a big Six Flags fan because I’m scared of 99% of the rides, but I was determined to have a good time. My friends used to love me when I was younger because I would hold all their bags for them when they went on the roller coasters. Most of the time today I spent watching Rob and the kids from the sidelines and taking pictures. I did ride a couple of rides like the flume ride, the carousel and the Thunder River ride. I couldn’t believe when the kids got on the big roller coasters with Rob. They weren’t scared of anything. When we were walking around we came upon a bunch of the Hanna-Barbera cartoon characters and Superfriends characters. Kristine and Olegs let us take a couple of pictures with them but not too many. They had to be cool, you know.
Once again, the heat was excrutiating. There’s nothing worse than sweating profusely while waiting in a long line for a two second ride. Luckily, we came later in the day to try to beat the heat. In the evening it wasn’t so bad because a lot of people started going home and it cooled off considerably. All in all it was a fun day. We stayed until the park closed. Everyone had fun, that is until we announced it was time to leave. Olegs understood and was okay with it but Kristine commenced to pouting and stopped speaking to us. We’re getting at least one pout per day. LOL! We tried to think of how they must feel. There was so much excitement all day and then in a flash it was over. They might wonder if they'll ever see anything like this again. Maybe that in itself was enough to make her sad. We stopped at Burger King on the way home for a late night snack so everyone was happy again after that.
This is our last big outing before the kids leave. I can’t believe all of the fun things we’ve crammed into just a few short weeks. It’s starting to hit us that they’ll have to leave in a few days. We know we’ll get through it but it’s gonna be hard.
