Braves vs. Astros

We had some time the other day so we went to the Braves, Astros baseball game. It was a lot of fun. Max did really well. I thought he'd get bored fast but he actually got into it. Every time a Braves' heavy hitter would step up to the plate they would blast some Indian song and the crowd would move their arms back and forth like a tomahawk. Max was right there with everybody cheering and moving his had back and forth. The game went 14 innings we left around the 12th. Having lived in both cities we figured that no matter who one..we'd win. I guess with that philosphy we lost too, right?

Six Flags

Right now I'm on reserve which means that I fly a really crappy schedule and the airline can call me when they want. I have to be ready to fly within two hours of a phone call from the airline. Last month I flew a lot. There are days though when you wait for a phone call.

So here's what we have figured out:

There happens to be a Six Flags, within an 30 minutes of the airport. So rather than sitting around waiting a phone call...some of my pilot friends, Korri and I bought season passes to pass the time! We go to the park (with a uniform and travel bag in the car) and pass the day there. We've only gone a few times but it's a lot of fun. Here are videos (not ours) of some of the roller coasters there.

This is the fastest: This is the scariest: This one makes you a little sick: I didn't film any of these so it wasn't us screaming....but we did. Max has a good time too.
