この月曜日はメモリアル・ﾃﾞｰで学校はお休み。息子にそそのかされて（全然計画していなかったけれど、前日日曜に決まった）家族プラス息子の友達の5人でシックス・フラッグスに行きました。内臓が飛び出てノウミソが爆発しそうなジェット・コースターが超たくさんある遊園地。This Monday was Memorial Day. Our son successfully persuaded us to go to Six Flags. He even arranged so that we could take one of his friends with us. This park is famous for all those thrill seeking rides which make your internal organs jump out of your mouth and your brain explode like paint balls.
入園するなり、パパ＋息子＋友達の班と私＋娘の班に分かれて最後まで別行動。これは私＋娘が登ったタワーからパパ＋息子＋友達が乗ったジェットコースターを見下ろしている写真。パパ曰く、「重力がのしかかって、だんだん目の前が真っ暗になっていって失神寸前だった」とのこと。As soon as we entered the park, we separated ourselves into two parties; daddy+son+his friend, and me+daughter. My daughter and I went up a tower. This picture is a view from the tower. This is the view of one of those crazy rides. According to my husband, he almost fainted as free falling.
私＋娘はふたりでのんびり平穏な乗り物を楽しみました。凝り性の娘、このメリーゴーランドは10回くらい、もうひとつの子どもジェットコースターは30回以上乗ったと思う。My daughter and I peacefully enjoyed "conventional" rides. Once she finds she likes, she can never stop taking it, though. She did this carousel probably 10 times, and kid's size roller coaster more than 30 times. I gave up halfway since I started feeling my internal organs jumping up to my throat even with this supposedly easy rides.
息子たちに付き合ってすべての乗り物を一緒にのったパパに拍手！みんなどっと疲れて家についたら10時過ぎでした。I wholeheartedly send a big applause to my husband who took all those rides with the boys. We were totally consumed by the the time we got home past 10.
