The more you walk around bare footed, the tougher the bottom of you feet get. But then your feet are all hard and callused. Not too attractive. They have these swimming shoes to wear around here. I think its partly to protect from athlete's foot or whatever, but also for the concrete, which gets too hot to walk on. I'm glad you had fun! What was the temperature?
I got blisters too from walking around Six Flags. I also got over heated at one point and had to sit out a few rides while I poured water on my head. They've gotten alot better about stuff like that than they used to be. They will give you free ice water at any food place, and have these water mister things every few rides. I stayed pretty hydrated, I think I got dizzy and sick from riding the Flashback right after lunch (you go through 2 loops, first frontward, then backward, then frontward again, then backward again). But I was also really red according to everyone else, and I felt really hot. I think being out of shape had alot to do with it too. But I got past that little spell and had a great time.
The kids rode EVERYTHING we did! One of them was only 5! We were all like, you're the bravest 5 year old I've ever known! My nephew wanted to ride everything (he's 8). There were only a couple of rides they weren't tall enough to ride, like the Superman ride, but they had minature versions for the kids which they LOVED! They had minature bumper cars (my nephew had been really upset that on the adult ones he wasn't tall enough to drive) and a minature rollar coaster (which was surprisingly rough) and minature water rides. It was so freaking cute! Whoever thought of that was smart. And although they liked the grownup ones, they liked the kids ones just as much or more. I think kids like things that are specifically for kids.
Overall it was a great time. We were there for 10 hours. I'm still so sore all over! Man, if I got that kind of exercise everyday I'd be so freaking skinny!
