Last Time @ 6 Flags this Summer

On Tuesday, the 4th, we surprised the boys with a day at Six Flags WITH DAD. G came home after the boys had swim lessons and told the boys of our plans. We ate lunch and then headed to Six Flags. We had a wonderful day together.

Dad with T on T's favorite ride: The Cobra

J & N on the Tony Hawk ride. G and T rode with them. G was SO dizzy afterwards!

B, T & I caught part of the dolphin show. The others went to ride some of the big roller coasters.

We HAD to see the stingrays again. This time, J & T got to feel one. So did the rest of us, too. They are so cool!

There's B on the front right corner. He wanted to get wet, and wet he got!!

Here are the boys in the butterfly sanctuary. It was so hot and humid in there, but we saw lots of beautiful butterflies. There were also really neat fish.

I snapped this picture of G with the three older boys on the raft ride. They got soaked, but they had a blast. They talked T and me into going with them again. There was hardly any line.

We went twice and we were SOAKED!! We laughed so hard. It was a blast!! We did a few more rides and then called it a day. We were pretty tired. It was so nice to be able to spend the day together as a family.

Six Flags for the Afternoon

Yesterday, I took the four boys to Six Flags. We left right from swim lessons. We grabbed lunch on the way, and were ready to go. It was great arriving after the morning rush. We walked right into the park with no lines.

Here's T&B enjoying the South African penguins

B was able to touch this stingray. He really enjoyed watching them and being able to feel them. He was quite mesmerized by them.



J&B biding their time as we waited for the Tony Hawk ride. We ended up waiting about 45 minutes for the ride. Since we all could go, and we wanted to go together, I had to pay for a temporary locker for my backpack. They no longer allow backpacks brought up to the rides and left to the side while we ride. I wasn't too happy about this.

B&J after getting soaked on the boat ride!

There's MY caboose in the caboose. He wanted to ride in there all by himself. B & I rode right in front of him. He wanted us on the train, but not right next to him.

B & Mom

Here's N getting ready to go on the KONG. We didn't get to ride together because of the new backpack rule. I went first and he held the backpack, then when I got back, he went. Lame, I know! I would have gotten the locker at this point, but I only had a 5 dollar bill and I didn't want 5 locker coins and NO ONE would give me change at any of the concession stands! N was able to ride the Kong a few times (once with J) and the Medusa, too. It was nice to be able to give him the cell phone so that he could ride some of the big rides and then call us to find us.

This is one of my boys' favorite rides. T is still to short to ride this one, so J and I took him over to the small kid swings just like this. He really enjoyed that, and I was grateful that J was so helpful. He rode a few small kiddie rides with T and was such a great big brother to him. We soon got our fill and headed home. We had a blast. The weather was perfect. The boys enjoyed the rides, and the lines weren't bad (except on the Tony Hawk ride). We hope to squeeze in one more trip before school starts in August. Hopefully, G will be able to come with us.
