gonna be in town next weekend, and going to SixFlags on Sunday..... anyone up for meeting up somewhere? (gonna have kids along) .... was hoping to know for sure that a large rodent inhabitant in that area had migrated NE before i came, but for some reason, rats don't seem to know how to speak..... once i start booking flights for this 4-5 day tour, i'll be able to tell you exactly when i'll be in town.... Hippo, please post permission here for Jackson to send me your e-mail addy (or mail me at the addy listed in my profile) I'll send Jack a mail requesting the info.

Please tell me the weather isn't gonna still be HOTTTTT there next weekend ;)

Mama - traveling now, but will most likely be back in Denver at the end of the week. I'll send you an email...access will be limited the next few days...

The sun will most likely be shining, that is all I can say about the weather ;)

Mama--I am on the Board of Directors for Hyland Hills Rec District an we own and run Water World the best Water Park in USA--so much better than 6 Flags--if needed I can get you free tickets to WW and we also have Adventure Golf--3 min golf courses and connected to a go kart track. This weekend I am in Wisconsin at the Dells looking at a posisble new ride for our Water Park and next week at my nephews wedding but cold send you tix or leave them at will call--let me know. This a great time of the year to be in Denver warm but 10% humidty and great cool evening weather. Enjoy.

Hawkeye....if you could set us up with will call tickets, i'd be forever in your debt!! :D our plans changed drastically after the link to that site was posted, and that will be where we go on Saturday (12th) rather than 6-Flags.... place looks way too fun!!!!! Wish another hawkeye fan could be in town that weekend tho :( we'll be heading out for Dallas on Monday morning, and Back to Davenport on Tuesday.... spending Friday in Dallas, and flying into Denver on Friday evening. Hippo, got your e-mail, will write later tonight or in the morning, depending on what time fy father decides to stop being a slave driver on this remodeling project ;)

Hawkeye, if you could do it, there will only be 3 of us going to Water World... me, a 13 yr. old, and an 11 yr. old (if those ages make a difference in tickets) i'm not QUITE a senior citizen yet, but closing in on it......LOL .... Last name is Peterson (Ann) .... won't be online again until we get into denver late friday night (hopefully) ... looks like we should get to airports about 4 hours in advance now, and it's gonna suck trying to get to the airport that early for the DFW to DEN flight :( if you could just post instructions for us, i'll check online late friday. otherwise, my e-mail addy is my username here with 1960 on the end of it, and it's a hotmail account. i'll also check my filtered mail. Thanks SOOOO much, going there was going to be an added expense that we weren't counting on (since the 6 flags passes are for the rest of the season) was no way i could tell the kids no to that awesome looking waterpark after they saw the website tho. :D

MaMa I already have it set up--6 tixs will be at Guests Services at Water World. Guewt Services is located qt the main entrance (on north side of Water World) you''ll see the main entrance it has flags/traps/steps going up/around it--go up the steps and just to the right of the tix offices and before the turnstiles to get in there will be a bldg called guest services say you have tickets to pick up--I put them under the name Bahhama Mama-what else. If you have ? about this please let me know--I am leaving early tomorrow for the Dellls-what have you heard that can not be taken on in carry on's? Have Fun and hope you have a great/fun/safe trip--make sure you ride the Revolution and go to Thunder Bay

Park opens at 10:00 am and closes at 6:00 pm--get there early. There are two parts to the park- an upper level and lower level. Many food places etc. Parking is free ad you can take food into the park--no glass bottles. Tickets get you into the park and allow you to ride every ride--you do have to rent tubes for rides that need ride--maybe 1/4 of them.??--all day I think $2.00

Just saw the weather--91 and P/C for Satruday. Wish I was here to meet you -agian have fun and enjoy. Go Hawks!!!!

Hawkeye... still trying to recover from the overall experience, and will respond further when i do....LOL The tix were there, and can't possibly thank you enough for them (they even set the expiration date on the other 2 at the end of NEXT summer) Saturday was by far the highlight of the trip!!! Elitch gardens didn't compare to Water World, and we had dinner that evening with Happy Hippo (Whom i also can't thank enough for picking up the tab.... might add tho, Hippo, that the kids are pissed about it since now i have enough money left to pay their school registration fees. :) ) Next summer when we come to Denver to go to water world, i SWEAR we're driving tho, cuz God apparently doesn't want me to get home from that area by air :( ... our flight to Dallas on Monday was cancelled, so we haven't made that 6-flags yet, and we had to rent a car to drive back to IA.

PS...... Hippo is a very sweet gal (claims to be an age i won't reveal, but IMO she looks to be about 17, and once i get her permission to post some great pics my daughter took of her, i will), and she promises she'll go to the 2007 SB party!!!!!!!!!!!!! i'm gonna hold her to it!!!!!!!!!!!!!

off to bed!!! 20 more days and things should calm down a bit.

month from today, i'll be in Dallas for a month, so will be questioning all you TX folks ;)

Hippo, hope to be able to send you the pics within 3 days, but kitchen remodeling is gonna be sooner than expected so don't have long to rip out old cupboards and get new flooring in so gonna be swamped around here for a while.

Mama - it was a pleasure to meet you and the kids. You certainly have more energy to go to all these parks than I did even at 17 ;) Sorry to hear about your struggles with the travel - I'm sure the drive wasn't that fun when you were supposed to be at Six Flags! I hope to make it to the superbowl party - still working some things out.


And Agent - you better watch out or you're going to get some more negative reputation points - 40? WTF? :nono:
