Six Flags!!!!!

Emily got a ticket to Six Flags this year for reading 360 minutes last March.   So I took her today.  We got there before it opened at 10:30 so they let us in to stand in line at a ride where we waited for the rides to open.  The park closed at 7:00 and we stayed until then:

 

 Our first ride was the log ride and then we went to the Monster Mansion (used to be called Monster Plantation).  Here we are coming out of that ride:

 We also rode the Mine Train but Emily hit the back of her head on the ride.  I had forgotten how bumpy that ride is.  It's been probably 15 years since I've been here!After that incident we stopped and ate a pretzel and a coke.    She really enjoyed the Wyle E. Coyote roller coaster in the kids section so by the end of the day we had ridden it 4 times.   She rode most of the kids rides and played at the new water park.  I didn't bring her goggles so we didn't stay there long.  We also rode Thunder River and I got soaking wet.  So after that ride we rode the sky buckets:

 and then headed out to the parking lot for a late lunch:

 Emily got her second wind after eating lunch so we went back in and rode several of the rides a 2nd time and continued to do so until the park closed at 7.  We had a few bumps along the way but enjoyed our time together. 

While we were at Six Flags Joe took Abigail to Catch Air and to a park to play:

 

  

We each had a fun time with the kids!
