Six Flags

We have been privileged to know a very special lady for many years. This lady is Melinda Ashcraft and she was my neighbor in Saddlebrook years ago. Melinda has worked for Six Flags (over many different cites) for over 45 years and this year she is retiring. Before the "big retirement day" she invited our whole family for her last opening weekend at Six Flags. Of course we jumped on the opportunity...

The boys really love the "personal experience" of having Ms Melinda show them the park.

At Monster Mansion

Cute little indoor ride

They wanted to ride the "cage" ride.

We were watching the Looney Tunes Show. Waiting for Taz and Tweety Bird..

The boys gave big hugs to all the characters after the show.

Ms Melinda gave the boys a treat bag and Batman Capes. They loved them..

and we loved the opportunity to visit the park

We were sad to leave but we had a wonderful time. Six Flags will always hold great memories for the boys and I. Thanks Ms Melinda for ALL the wonderful opportunities, memories and smiles over the years there. When we return, it will never be the same.
