Six Flags

October 19, 2009

Once our fence project was coming to an end, we decided that we wanted to take our kids out to celebrate somehow. We decided to take them to Six Flags. (For those of you who don't know, we live one exit away from Six Flags.)

We started out riding the Colossus. What a beautiful view of Eureka in the fall!

This picture is a miracle in my mind. The last time we went to Six Flags, Meg was a newborn and we just took Ali & Emma. They were scared to death of all of the characters. So, it was fun to see them excited about Bugs and Taz this time!

What a fun crew!

After a few hours in the kids area, Aaron took Meg and Julie to Aunt Lydia's house so that we could do some real rides with the big girls. We learned a few important things about our kids:

.

1) Emma doesn't like heights. She loves speed and spinning, but NO heights. Even the swings that just spin you in a circle. Too high. She did a lot of crying.

.

2) Ali loves roller coasters, but isn't ready to brave anything that takes her upside down. No Batman for her. Or Ninja, or any of the really great roller coasters.

.

Bummer.

.

So, needless to say, we had to get creative. What rides does that leave?

.

Thankfully, the weather was PERFECT! Lines were short (for the most part.) I even got to ride the Batman (by myself, of course) 3 times without ever getting out of my seat.

Now that the girls have had more time for mental preparation, I think our next visit will be a little more adventurous. I guess we'll see!
