The Nolden Family

Ok…you probably get sick of seeing us at Six Flags…but when you get season tickets, you’ve gotta make sure you utilize the park …and there are always photo ops…or “blog fodder” as we call it!

Frank and I finally tried Six Flags on date night recently.  It was awesome.  We went at 8:00 (it closes at 9:00)…and we were able to go on one of the rollercoasters twice without getting off because there were NO LINES!  We almost went a third time until it started thundering and sprinkling and they shut down all of the rides.  Bummer!

This was the last trip we took with the kids though.  It was soooo great.  It was Saturday on the 4th of July weekend and we figured we were crazy to even try it because the crowds would be so awful.  But it was actually one of the lightest days we had been there.  The lines were very minimal and the weather was actually pretty nice too.  It has been an VERY hot and sticky summer, but this particular day happened to be RELATIVELY low in temp AND humidity….which made the low crowds seem even more weird.  We had a GREAT TIME!

The kids...waiting for dad...who had to park the car and then walk a mile to get to the front gate.

Ashley & Frank waiting to get on "Batman." This is the first time Frank and I had ridden Batman. Usually the line is unnaturally long, and it doesn't seem worth it. Neither of us want to ride it again. I like Goliath & The Scorcher WAY better than it...it is rough and you can't see where you are going.

Batman's car was cool though :-).
