Six Flags

Yesterday we bought season passes to the Six Flags theme park about 45 minutes from our house. Brad had Friday off so we enjoyed a full day, and a hot day...around 90 degrees!

Baileigh is a roller-coaster junkie and has influenced Mckenna into not having any fear either over any ride..ANY. I think they would both try every ride at the park if we told them they were tall enough. Baileigh is about 47 inches and thanks to her sneakers she was able to ride all the 48 inch and taller rides. Mckenna is almost 39 inches tall...but with the help of her sneakers and a tall pony tail on the top of her head we were able to pass her off on a lot of the 42 inch requirement rides...that opens the door for her to go on a lot more rides. Waiting for the tea cup ride. A guy about 15 or 16 threw up in the tea cup next to us. The girls were completely obsessed with what was happening in his tea cup when the ride was over and we learned what happened.
Brooke loves to hug Mckenna. While we waited as a family to ride the log ride in order to cool down she was obsessed with hugging Mckenna. We had all the people in line around us oohing and ahhing over how cute they were. I was just glad that Brad was holding both of them and I could have my hands free! The 5 of us went on this ride...I wasn't sure what Brooke would think when we got splashed, but she didn't seem to mind.
The "after" shot...it's hard to tell how wet we are in this picture. Baileigh got the worst of it sitting in the front
My girls on a roller-coaster...alone. This is how they prefer it, already. They walk off holding hands and with big grins on their face because they get to ride together. These moments present such a conflict between my hurt feelings and my joy of their love for each other...I know it's just the first of many to come.

Looks like a blast! And it's good to see you and Brad in the pics, too.
