Emily is now 49″ tall and therefore can ride almost every adult roller coaster at Six Flags. In fact, to our surprise, when we stood in line for Titan (the largest ride every built by Six Flags), even Nathan (youngest child) qualified in height. So, we wait in a very short line only to find out that we would wait for another 15 mins for them to clean up some throw-up from the previous run. Nasty! And it happened to be the row that we were waiting in! So, we decided to change rows. Kailey (oldest daughter) decided that she would not be riding this ride. The two younger kids, who barely qualified in height by 1″ and .5″, were gungho about getting to ride. So, I first take Emily (2nd child) on her first adult roller coaster. All I have to say is a picture is worth a thousand words:

Zoomed in (you can click on it to see even bigger):

Emily was petrified and as you can see, holding on to dear life. But she was a champ. When we were finished and rolling in to the stop, all Emily was yelling was, “Are you serious? Are you serious?” Didn’t know what she was saying. Maybe she was delusional? I said, “Serious about what?” She said, “Are you serious that Nathan is gonna ride this?”

We came to a stop and I looked at my wife who was waiting to go on with Nathan and had to exercise some godly wisdom and say, “No way … there is no way he is going!” She agreed and handed him over to me. Whew, that was a close one!

We were there from opening to the close of the park and had a great time, although I’m exhausted. But I will have the memories through this picture (although that’s the last pic that you will see my arm and leg = expensive!). My wife said that whenever she is sad or upset during the day, she will look at this picture and it will bring a smile to her face.

I hope that it does that for you.
