Vacation for a Super Hero



Our trip to Six Flags was fantastic. One of the first things we noticed was all the references to super heroes. Well, of course we wanted to be heroes, too! So, we did what any reasonable person would do-- we played the squirt-the-water-onto-the-target game to win our capes! lol.... :0) Tony chose a Superman cape, I chose a PINK super cape, Katie chose a black Batman cape, and Hayes chose a Batman cape in purple (his favorite color). ;0) From the moment our capes were on our backs we were heroes. We had a ball with them. We even got to fly with our capes on (on the swings)!!!! ;0) I wish we had pictures of that one..... lol. I'm sure that was quite a sight to see.... an entire family of "heroes" flying through the air on the swings....

Hayes sobbed for nearly every roller coaster that first day..... DREADING how "terrible" it was going to be. Within a few seconds of EVERY ride... EVERY time.... he was giggling and laughing all the way. Why it took him almost an entire day of this-- I don't know. But, by the time our Six Flags adventures were over he had ridden nearly every single roller coaster in the entire park-- including riding them sometimes over and over-- AND on the front row! The only one we didn't LET him ride was the Tony Hawk ride. He begged us to let him ride this thing! It went up and down like a regular coaster, but it also spun around the entire time with no way to lock it into place. Ummmmmm..... I don't think so....

We enjoyed a Jeremy Camp concert, enjoyed the pleasant temperatures, low crowds, and gentle rains. The rains kept the lines down to very short or to no line at all. The hotel was right across the street from the park, so we just took a shuttle back and forth as we needed. It's a definite do-over vacation for us...... We had a ball!!!

Oh, and if you see me with my pink cape on.... just smile and wave at me. It means I'm in my happy place and that you should refer to me as Polkadot Pink.....(my name in Virtual Magic Kingdom-- my all-time favorite online game....lol). I always wanted to be the real "Super Pink".... if just for a day. So, I just might be seen wearing it around from time to time..... :0)
