A Day of 12-Year Old Fun!

That's right. I spent all day Saturday at Six Flags and I felt like I was 12 years old all over again. Yesterday was the most liberating and terrifying day of my life to date. It's hard to imagine ten adults (ages 25-29) riding roller coasters for five hours...but we did it! We may have not fit into the seats like we used to, we may have felt like crying through every twist and turn and we may have all left with awful headaches...but the thrill was worth it. Let's recap the best and the worst!

My all-time favorite is the Batman. I love riding with my feet hanging down! Matt, however, felt like his feet would be chopped off since he is the tallest in our group...but luckily we survived.

The scariest (literally tears were streaming down my face) is The Boss, aka the bumpiest wooden roller coaster on earth. I don't think I will ever ride this one again. This picture even terrifies me.

And finally, my liberating moment. I conquered Mr. Freeze. Not without a fight, I haven't felt so nervous to jump on a theme park ride in ages. I really felt like I was putting myself in a death trap...a forwards and backwards ride? No way. But my friends made me go...so I went, with my feet dragging and ended up LOVING every minute of it. This is my second favorite and my biggest challenge of the day. Plus, it is only 28 seconds long!

I'm still feeling shaky and disoriented today. And my stomach still hurts from the pretzel with cheese and funnel cake (wow). Obviously I am getting a little old to head to Six Flags with a group of friends for a day of "old school fun". But I'm glad I went!

If you haven't done something that has made you act like a kid again in awhile, do it, and then tell me about it!
