The picture of happiness: Michael Jackson’s kids get to be kids again with a trip to the Six Flags - With the family turmoil of the past month swept to one side, Prince, Paris and Blanket got spend time doing what normal children of their age do, like riding go carts and family rides

It is hard to imagine that these three smiling faces represent children who have witnessed their own family on the verge of imploding after a nasty battle erupted regarding their late father, Michael Jackon’s will.

Prince,15, Paris, 14, and Blanket, 10, seemed to have put the emotional rollercoaster of the past month behind them as they pose up for this photo while visiting the Six Flags Great America with new co-guardian, TJ Jackson, yesterday (Monday).

Prince and Paris rode most of the big-time rides, including Raging Bull, X-Flight and Superman, said Six Flags spokesman Katy Enrique. Blanket spent time riding go carts and he rode some of the more of the family rides.

Enrique said some fans recognized the children and the trio was happy to stop and take pictures with others in the park.

The Jackson children are in the area to take part in celebrations this week in Gary, Ind., to mark the King of Pop’s 54th birthday, which is Wednesday.
