Brooks, Yearwood at Six Flags Over Texas for her birthday

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Country stars Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood have taken a break from some Dallas concerts to celebrate her birthday at Six Flags Over Texas.

The couple marked her 51st birthday by going on rides Monday at the amusement park in Arlington, including the Texas Giant roller coaster.

A statement Tuesday from Six Flags Over Texas says Brooks took his band along for the birthday-surprise outing for his wife. Six Flags Over Texas is only open on weekends going into the fall, but accommodated Brooks and his group.

Yearwood's birthday was Saturday but she's been busy performing with Brooks for a series of concerts at the American Airlines Center. The final concert was scheduled Tuesday night.
