Six Flags Sunday Funday
Spending time with loved ones is always such a joy, but when that time is shared at Six Flags over Texas, it becomes even more unforgettable. Recently, my sister and I took the adorable kiddos on a thrilling adventure that was filled with laughter and excitement. This outing held a special significance for me, especially since I fondly remember visiting the park with my beloved aunt Monique and Uncle Calvin when I was younger. The thought of bringing my nieces and nephews to the same magical place where so many cherished memories were created made my heart swell with happiness.
“I had the best time ever!” Ja’Varia L. said.
As we arrived, my oldest nieces and nephews eagerly wandered off to explore the park on their own, ready to create their own exciting experiences. Meanwhile, my sister and I took the younger ones for an adventurous exploration of Kiddie Land. We reveled in all the nostalgic moments: the enchanting carousel, the thrilling Texas Giant, the quaint train ride, and of course, the irresistible funnel cake that we all looked forward to indulging in.
Time Flys-Six Flags Memories
It had been over a decade since I last visited the park, and seeing it through adult eyes was a fascinating experience. In my childhood, I was often limited in my ability to ride many of the coasters because of my pre-existing heart condition, strictly needing permission from doctors and my parents. This time around, however, I embraced my role as the designated photographer, capturing all the laughter and excitement while watching my beloved kiddos conquer their fears on the rides.
The sheer joy illuminated on their faces was truly the highlight for me. In each smile, I saw pieces of my own childhood, a reflection of the freedom I wished I could have fully embraced back then. Six Flags was often bittersweet for me, a reminder of my limitations. Yet now, visiting it as an adult—and fulfilling the role of an aunt—fills me with gratitude for the progress I’ve made. It’s a testament to my journey and the obstacles I’ve overcome.
As I navigate this joy-filled day, I carry my aunt Monique’s spirit with me. Her love and exuberance for life inspired me to find joy in every moment. While she may no longer be with us, her memory shines brightly, guiding my experiences as I share this magical place with the next generation.
