The Nolden Family

We all went to Six Flags over Georgia for the first time at the end of May. We went in celebration of Mikayla’s birthday.

It was Memorial Day weekend and we thought it would be really crowded. Lucky for us, however, there was a threat of rain that day…the traffic was REALLY light. It did rain once for about 20 minutes in the afternoon…but that was it. The rest of the day was overcast and in the upper 70′s….perfect! AND the lines were short! We couldn’t have asked for a better day.

Well…except for the fact that on the very first ride…the Cyclone, which is an ancient wooden coaster….I put my cell phone in my pocket for the ride…and when we were done it was gone! That darn ride threw me around like a rag doll. The bar wasn’t very tight and I felt like I was going to fall out at times…crazy!!! AND it hurt my back in 2 places.

The sad thing was that it was a brand new COOL phone that I had only had for 2 days!!!! I was crushed!!! The happy news is that the guy that sold us the phones put insurance on all 7 of our lines (unbenownst to us)…so, even though I have gotten rid of the insurance now, it did allow me to replace my very COOL phone for not much money .

So…back to the story of Six Flags:

Above: Yeah, they mean it.

Above: Yep, more photos of us waiting in line (Liz, Megan & Frank).

Above: PJ….”I’m da man.”

Above: More waiting in line (Seth, Donovan, Ashley, Sandi, Larry, Hannah, PJ & Liz)….the lines were short…but there were still lines. They had good music playing throughout the park all day…and good TV “stuff” to watch while you wait…which was nice. This Six Flags is way cleaner and nicer than the one in Southern California too.

Above: This is the newly opened “Monster Mansion” ride. It was supposed to be “It’s a Small World” meets “Pirates of the Caribbean.” But it was more like yawn meets “get me out of here.”

Above: Frank, Shayne and Megan…happy they didn’t fall asleep during the Monster Mansion.

Above: PJ and HIS new COOL Phone…which he didn’t lose (yet). He just wishes he had more people to text.

Above: Megan and Liz always hamming it up…and PJ trying to get in on the action.

Above: More hamming it up and Shayne trying to catch it on camera.

Above: More hams (Donovan, Seth & Ashley).

Above: Seth and Donovan.

Above: PJ, Frank and Liz.

Above: Shayne and Megan waiting to ride the “vintage” cars.

Above: The end of a very full day….

Above: Two seconds later….
