Family Day Breakfast, Drinks and Rides
Today was my work's Family Day at Six Flags. My work gave everybody free tickets
for parking, lunch & park entrance. My cousin Jace, of Stolen Olive fame, drove
up to Dallas to go with me to Six Flags. I don't think I have been to Six Flags
in so many years I doubt that Jace was even born the last time I was there.
I decided that we were going to start the day off right. So I made breakfast!
These were made from the same recipe that we used in class two weeks ago. Jace
doesn't like raisins so I only put them in half of them. They tasted great, they
just didn't quite look as pretty as I wanted them. But this turned out to be a
great practice exercise for my baking class midterm this coming Thursday.
Then we left and headed to the park. After driving out and parking in BFE and
then walking all the way to the entrance, it was time for the free BBQ lunch so
we headed to the picnic pavillons. This was our first mistake. The BBQ wasn't
that good and we didn't get to ride the few rides I would have rode because by
the time we finally went to that side of the park the rides were closed because
of the rain.
After the BBQ, Jace, in his infinite wisdom drug me on two roller coasters. In
case you don't know me very well.. I am deathly afraid of heights and I get
motion sickness very quickly. Which two roller coasters did we ride? The Titan
and The Texas Giant. In case you dont know much about roller coasters (like me),
the Titan is the tallest and fastest roller coaster in Texas. I found this out
on the ride home (and he made us sit on the front row). The Texas Giant has been
rated the # 1 wooden roller coaster in the nation.
Well, when I got off the Titan, my neck and head were throbbing and I was dizzy
and wanted to throw up. Jace got behind me, put his hands on my shoulders and
pushed me kicking and screaming into the line of the Giant before I even had a
chance to catch my breathe. Needless to say when we got off of the second ride
and I felt like shit. We stopped and found an air conditioned little pizza
parlor and got a drink.
This bottle was $17.00 but we got to refill it for free. Too bad after we got
the drink and the color of my face returned to its normal white (instead of
yellow and green) it started to rain and they closed the water rides, Batman,
SuperMan, etc. The only other thing we got to ride was SpongeBob SquarePants 4D
ride. It was cute.
Now, we are back at my place and getting cleaned up to go eat dinner with Jace's
girlfriend. I hope my stomach returns to its regularly scheduled location before
our reservations at Kobe Japanese Steakhouse at 8pm.
