Six Flags Fiesta Texas. Need I say more?
Boomerang, an extreme coaster that all the kids chose to ride, much to my astonishment
Well, I guess I do, so here goes. A few highlights of the day:
No people - the day before the first day of school, tax-free shopping weekend, and 158 degree temperature
No waits - the longest wait we had was about ten minutes to one of the water rides; we walked right up to the turnstiles for the big-ticket coasters
Maturing kids - my previously cautious kids (fear of new things, fear of heights, etc.) tried some of the biggest and scariest rides in the park, including an almost vertical drop of about 15 or 20 stories in a water chute (see a photo here, which I have to provide a link for instead of a photo, since it's copyrighted)
S riding all the extreme roller coasters with her uncle, including one (Goliath) all by her lonesome
G riding one extreme roller coaster and considering another
T exhibiting that he's completely over his fear of heights (see photo link above, for the twisty chute, and this link for the giant water slide)
Time with the kids' aunt and uncle, who gave this outing to them for their birthdays
Goliath, which S rode twice, once by herself

Looks like fun! They joys of being homeschooler...beating the crowds. :-) 158 degrees....no kidding, that's exactly what it feels like.
