May 9, 2008- Six Flags Maryland

So begins my marathon birthday week. We start it off at Six Flags! We woke up to rain and thunderstorms but it worked out perfectly. By the end of the day it was warm with sunshine. I think the rain scared most people off. It was the first day of the summer season and we walked up and got on all the rides. I think our longest wait was 10 minutes on one of the rides. I know, sounds rough.

We went with one of my best friends, Sommer and her husband, Ben. Sommer and I have talked about going for the last few years because we both LOVE amusement parks but she has been pregnant since I met her. So hooray for a reason to celebrate and hooray her mom took her 2 little boys for the day so we could have some grown up fun!

This begins a sad story of Sommer and her $12.95 drink. (don't worry, it has a happy ending) She ordered a drink with her lunch and thought it was only $2.95. Wrong!!!! Before you knew it she had a very bad lunch and a very expensive drink. The bright side to the story is that she got FREE refills all day! So we began the community drinking cup. We were all determined to get her monies worth.

By mid afternoon we had our 6th refill. Not really hard to do when you are sharing with 4 people.

By the end of the day Sommer and her drink had a real bond. She really felt like she got her monies worth. After 7 refills, lots of sugar and many trips to the bathroom the LOVE grew and will FOREVER remain.

What a SUPER couple we are!

I had to get a picture with my new friend Bugs Bunny! I finally figured out where I got my stand from.

The rides started out pleasant and enjoyable I don't know who is cuter, the couple of the penguin.

This is my model pose!
What a killer smile! One of the many reasons I married him!
My Ben had to sit this one out. His tummy was a little on the fritz. Here is where the FREAK OUT begins! I was SO nervous I almost didn't go.

Ben was trying to convince me it would be all right but I still wasn't sure. I obviously didn't die because I am here to tell you all about it. However, I am not doing this ride again. The Joker and I will never be friends. He is evil and so is his ride.

This is the Superman Ride. It was my FAVORITE! However, it KILLS your shins. I still have a bruise. You should do a close up on this one. You can see Sommer and I and our hair is sticking straight up in the air! It is worth a good laugh.
Sommer and I thought we were so funny!

We enjoyed posing with the signs of the Super Hero's. Sommer was much better at it than I.
We had fun posing in Loony Tune Village! I'm glad there weren't many kids there because we might have ended up being the big bullies in the little kids playground.
Isn't their impression of Taz good! This is one of my favorite pictures.
I love this picture! My husband is SOOO cute!
With all this posing I think there may be a photographer in the group.

All in all we had a GREAT day! Thanks Ben and Sommer for enjoying it with us. I wouldn't have wanted to have gone with anyone else (expect for including you Tracie). So, till next time.

That's all FOLKS!
