What do you do when the weather is cooler than has ever been recorded in the DFW area for July? You do something outside for sure and thank the Lord Almighty for not scorching us just yet (we all know it's coming). We decided to head to Six Flags for the day. Have you ever been to Six Flags when it didn't smell like melting asphalt and body odor? Yeah, us neither and I will tell you with the high only forecasted to be 78 we were more than willing to find out... and it was AWESOME. Best Six Flags day hands down. We ended up staying for about 9 hours instead of the usual 5 or 6. It was great to leave and not feel like we have been camping for 3 days.
The kids had so much fun and I really enjoyed not having to worry about them becoming overheated and dehydrated. The youngest decided he did not like any of the "big" coasters which was disappointing because he enjoyed them so much last year. My hubby talked the youngest daughter into doing the Superman tower of power with him and surprisingly she enjoyed it and did not cry afterwards. I hate that ride because I do not enjoy having my stomach shoved up my throat repeatedly, but I guess to each their own.
The oldest daughter finally relented and let my hubby talk her into going on Mr. Freeze, to which she has decided she does not like hanging in mid air and then dropping several stories backwards. However, she went so I feel completely confident my husband will try to drag her on all the big rides next year regardless of how she feels, especially since she meets all the minimum height requirements.
I would love to enjoy another week of cooler temps, but the 100's are already in the forecast again. It was a rare and wonderful treat to have such spring like weather!
