Fortenberry Fun at Six Flags

A couple of weeks ago, Fred and I had the opportunity to chaperone Jonathan's band trip to Six Flags.  We had a great time.  The weather was perfect and the crowds weren't too bad.  There was a cheer competition that seemed to be mainly targeted towards preschoolers, so the entire park looked a little like Toddlers and Tiaras.  Other than that, it wasn't so bad. 

We were able to ride quite a few rides.  We made sure that we rocked all of the old school rides like Judge Roy Scream, Shock Wave and The Mine Train.  The line for the Texas Giant was way too long, but we did manage to ride the Titan.  It was fun, but super scary.  Jonathan rode with Fred, so I was all by myself with no glasses on.  It was an odd feeling that is for sure - just being jerked around without knowing what exactly was going on.

Fred works with the boys at church and a few of them are in band.  They were so cute.  They made sure that we sat next to them on the bus ride.

We were all super tired on the ride home.  Jessica was supposed to go with us, but changed her mind at the last minute.  She isn't a fan of big rides, and decided that it might not be so much fun.  She stayed behind and hung out with her aunt and cousins all day.  I understand that the girls watched the original Footloose with Kevin Bacon (after being introduced to the remake the week before).

Fred, Jonathan and I had a great family day.  It was so much fun.  I wish Jessica would have gone with us, but then she never would have been introduced to Kevin Bacon and Footloose.
