Eh, a bit late since it’s almost the weekend again. But I haven’t updated for a while and I didn’t have anything else to talk about.
Friday:
Not much. Dinner at Friday’s then some Halo.
Saturday:
Walked around Six Flags for a bit, then a quick side trip to Oberweis (the have the best chocolate peanut butter ice cream). Then a bit later we had dinner at Pat’s Pizza, and played more Halo.
Sunday:
We headed out to Glencoe to catch the Midwest Bonsai Society’s show at the Chicago Botanic Garden. Almost missed it this year; didn’t find out about it until shortly before we headed out. I picked up a small Ficus salicifolia (willow leaf fig) to add to my collection.
Once we got home we relaxed and played more Halo. Then Justin went out to jam a bit in preparation for the upcoming Elvi show.
Yesterday I picked up the Wii Fit. It’s pretty fun, and a few of the games/activities really wear you out.
We’ll have to hit Six Flags this weekend and try out the newly-opened Dark Knight.

Tonight was the “Family Preview Night” at Six Flags Great America — the park officially opens next weekend. Lynn got tickets for Justin and me.
The first ride we got on was Superman.

After this, we rode the Raging Bull, the Eagle, and the Demon (make sure to visit the Demon Myspace page to hear the totally awesome soundtrack).

This video is edited together from two different videos I took on the ride. I had my fingers over a good part of the first video, and I lost my grip on the camera in the second. So… sorry it’s kind of choppy.
Make sure to visit the ride over on Myspace

Raging Bull is my favorite ride at Six Flags, so of course it’s the first one we ride on the first day of the season.

Today was opening day at Six Flags Great America. I live right down the street, and because I charge a lot on my Six Flags credit card, I always get a free season pass.
Today was kind of cold and rainy, but that didn’t stop us from hitting the park for a while.
