Last week, Lil Sis and I took Big Sis#1's
kids to Six Flags for the day. The day before that was an uncomfortably dramatic
one. Lil Sis's boyfriend was supposed to go, not me, but he bailed at the last
minute, which caused Lil Sis to have a total meltdown (it doesn't take much, to
be honest...). Then she had to find a nice way to tell Big Sis#2 that we did
not think her daughter, Niecey G should come to Six Flags (because even though
she's 10, she acts like she's 5, won't go on any rides, and tends to make
everyone else miserable if she's not getting exactly what she wants). We stuck
with the no rides thing as the reason.
So Big Sis#2 was pissed, but we at least
were not stuck dragging Niecey G around Six Flags all day. Lil Sis's Lil Bro
and his cousin came with us as well, so Nephew wouldn't be the only boy.
(Here's an updated family tree in case y'all aren't confused enough already.)
We had a pretty good day at Six Flags.
Big Sis#1's children are perfect. (Seriously, the entire family needs to be
studied so this parenting style can be replicated.)
Mich's review of some of the rides at Six
Flags Great Adventure:
1. Superman
2. El Torro
3. Bizarro
4. The Log Flume
5. Houdini
6. Nitro
7. Skull Mountain
Nieces#1 and 2, and Nephew dragged me on that one. I only agreed because it
doesn't go upside down, and you can't see anything at all, so you don't know
what to be afraid of. My experience of the ride:
They were all upset because they couldn't
go on Kingda Ka, as it was shut down most of the day. Why anyone would want to
go on the tallest and second fastest roller coaster in the world when it is
constantly breaking is beyond me.
