So here goes..
What I Did on July 4th....by ME
So Ray had to work, and I knew this. So it will be Me and Logan making a day of it. First off the Arlington City Parade 46th Annual. It was great. I have been going with my brother and his in laws. It is a great time. They are super people. The parase last about 2 hrs, it starts at 9:00am, we were leaving by 11:10am. With in 15 minutes after the parade was over the traffic was all cleared out. It was great. So then time to come home....
Since Ray had to work, we got him up made burger and chicken on the grill, had lunch and then it was the best part of the day...NAP TIME!!!!! Logan and I slept until about 4:00pm.. So needed. See I am an early riser...but I am a nap lover too.
By 5:30 we are at Six Flags! Nik, Brandon & Mandi came in and went with us. We had an awesome time. Loggs is a little thrill seeker. The faster the bigger, the better. Althought he will ride the Cliffhanger 'Just one more time with Daddy'. If you don't know what that is this is it ...you set 4 people in a car, with a chest harness on, the car goes up 10 strories in the air....you can see far...moves out...click....2 seconds...and BAM...your ass is free falling....then you stop laying on your back, swing down..you are uprighted and off you go...I heard a little DAMN as we were going down...and I never remember how much I hate that ride until I am at the TOP!!!!
So the Ballpark in Arlington (Home of YOUR Texas Rangers) is right by Six Flags so we went to the parking lot to watch the fireworks...along with every-frickin-body else in the CITY!!!!! After the firewroks it took 45 minutes to get out of the parking lot. I was 4 lanes from the exit...Now lets just look at this...
City parade out in ten minutes...fireworks that include Six Flags and Ballpark triffic...45 minutes...and we are having the DAMN SUPERBOWL here in 4 years...Alrington better start spending a hell of a lot more money on roads and traffic control....
So I live about 4 miles from Six Flags...it took me 1 HOUR to get home....Now I now why the Green Acres people like the country so much!!!!!
So that was my 4th in a Nutshell...
