It has been awhile since I last posted and a lot has happened. I have finished the year at Mt. Vernon Academy and have been enjoying the summer in Collegedale and visiting Carrie so far. I will be heading up to Toronto tomorrow until Monday when we head back for Plymouth, MI, and then for the weekend head to Eagle Lake for Family Reunion.
Jaclyn looks at the giant Tiger Ryan won for her at Six Flags. It was a very hot day on Monday, June 18, but it was a lot of fun.
Jaclyn took this picture of the American Screeen Machine that Carrie and I were on. It was a pretty rough ride, as Carrie can tell you!
Everybody is anxiously waiting to jump onto the Classic Car race that Carrie and Jaclyn drove for. Standing in line throughout the day was a very hot experience as the humidity was very high and the temperature was somewhere in the low to mid 90s.
Ryan survived the wild ride and so did the giant Tiger! I narrowly avoided getting thrown off the car that Carrie was driving! Carrie's car was faster than Jaclyn's so we waited so I could take pictures of Ryan and Jaclyn when they came roaring up behind us.
Our last ride of the day at Six Flags over Georgia was the Georgia Scorcher where you can, "Put your Feet to the Fire." This is the view just before we boarded the ride. It was such a short line we couldn't resist going on it on the way out of the park. Probably everyone's favorite ride of the day was the newest ride, Goliath, which went up to 70 MPH and really expanded over a lot of the park.
Here is everyone finishing the Ninja, which was pretty rough and they told me wasn't worth the ride because of how hard it shook your head around. I rode this a couple years ago and decided to pass it up this time. We should have taken a hint from the fact that there was about 8 people in line when we got there at around 1:30 p.m.
After the day from 10 a.m. til 4 p.m. at Six Flags, we drove to a suspect part of town to eat at Subway, which sure felt great to get inside in the A.C. and get something to drink. We got to Turner Field about 2 hours early to witness B.P. and make sure we got tickets. They raised the price of all their seats to rip us off. So we paid $16 to sit in the upper deck.
Carrie and Jaclyn waiting for a home run ball during BP. Even by the end of the game the temperature was still 28 C.
I moved closer to the infield during the later part of batting practice. The cage they use around the batter looks pretty nice and the sure did take it down in a hurry before the game. You can definitely tell they have had plenty of practice doing that before.
It got a little cooler after dark, but it rained some during the game and so it stayed very humid. Atlanta won 9-4 vs. Boston. I couldn't decide who I should cheer for so I just cheered for every good play for both teams. If only the Jays had been there there would have been no question. Last June Toronto swept the Braves in Atlanta. Just ask John Locke, he went to one of the games and the Jays won that game 3-2. It was a fun day and both the day and weekend were over too fast. Look for the next blog post somewhere around July 9 or 10 when I get back from the trip I'm on, unless I make a surprise trip home.
