Fiesta Texas Family Fun Day

It's been 10 years...years since Doug, I, Sugar and Squash have visited, as a
family, the theme park in San Antonio called Six Flags Fiesta Texas so last
week Doug and I decided to purchase season passes again; Banana
and Sunshine have never been to Fiesta Texas and Sugar hadn't been since
he was 7 or so years old. 

We live just outside of San Antonio and have countless times driven
by the park; the kids, especially Sunshine ask us everytime "when can
we go to Fiesta Texas?"  Up until this a.m. they didn't know we were
going to FT and when I told them...Sunshine was PUMPED!!! 

Opening time for the park is 10:00am, so we arrived at the park about 9:30ish. 

Since I printed our season tickets from their website, we went to a Customer

Service line to check in since we didn't actually have tickets.  We waited in a

line with about 15 families in front of us with only one window open to help

service the customers in line. For at least 20 minutes everyone in line waited for

the lady in the tight, lime green pants, who really didn't have the right body to

be wearing them, to finish her business. Eventually a few other workers pulled  

up the blinds to some more windows.

Finally, it was our turn and I just KNEW what the person behind the plastic window

was going to tell me, this line that we waited in for 35 minutes, was the WRONG

line!  We were directed to the general admission lines that were now about 3 times

longer then they were when we first arrived. 

After 50 minutes, FINALLY through the gates!

Our first ride was the Acme RoadRunner Rollercoaster. This would be
Sunshine and Banana's first rollercoaster ever.

The loud hydraulics when the rollercoaster
would take off were a little loud for Sunshine.

                                    

This line would take about 40 or so minutes. So we occupied ourselves
by taking a photo or two.

85 degrees with 100% humidity makes the Log Ride extra fun!

that goes  back and forth.

We decided that we would only stay for a few hours knowing that with season
passes, we can come and go anytime we want throughout the summer.  We road
a total of 5 rides today and really had a blast!!!  The park was PACKED with
people.  Lots of buses full of kids from various schools around the state.  We're
planning on coming back in a couple weeks on a weekday in the hopes it won't
be sooo crowded and we can ride more rides while we are there. 

It was fun to watch Banana and Sunshine experience their first trip to a big
amusement park.  Both were very brave (especially Sunshine) about trying
the rides. 

Needless to say we were starving when we left about 3:00, so we drove to
mine and Doug's FAVORITE place to eat....Cracker Barrel .

My computer is running very slow and it's already taken over an hour to load
the pictures for this post and arrange everything....hmmm, maybe that's the reason
I took off from posting for so long....so, if there are mispelled words, off kilter
positioning of pictures and words you will just have to excuse it.
