To celebrate our last week of summer and Brad's long weekend...we headed to, yep...Six Flags. Before we went into the amusement park we drove through the Six Flags Safari
adjacent to the park. It was pretty cool to have a 2,500 pound Bison standing 6 inches from our car.
We had to wait on this friendly giraffe who
wandered from car to car looking down into the windows. We even had a hungry Ostrich pecking at our car windows...that was actually a little scary. It was like going to an air conditioned zoo in thirty minutes, without any hassle, good background music, and lots of animals to see!
The goal of this trip, in
Baileigh's mind, was to go on Rolling Thunder and Skull Mountain. These are the two roller coasters that we realized on our last visit she is tall enough to ride. On the walk to those two coasters we had to appease her sisters with some "smaller" rides according to
Baileigh...she still finds these fun but a little less exciting.
This isn't either of the two coasters we were on a mission to ride, but this is the biggest roller coaster that
Mckenna can ride.
Baileigh picked to sit in the back, by herself!
Last time we were at Six Flags we also
discovered an area that had a water play area for little kids. This time we brought the girls suits and spent our last hour at the park letting them get soaked. The loved it.
Mckenna's favorite thing was to stand under this bucket that would dump out a ton of water...it was seriously enough water pressure that several kids were loosing their bathing suits! It was hysterical to watch.
Brooke was a little overwhelmed at the water park. I think the major problem was the fact that it was already an hour past her nap time and she was getting tired and cranky.
The weather was warm but overcast so it was really pleasant. Despite the fact that we've been to the park several times this summer, we had a great time adding the safari and water park area to our day.

How's the sugar free, etc... kick going? ARE YOU OK??? : ) Six flags looks great. We're gonna head to the beach before school starts next Tuesday, I think. Miss you guys... wish we lived near you to pick your brain about swingsets... our next house project!
SO FUN! I love the drive-thru zoo. We've been to one of those here and in Oregon before. Way better than my recent experience at Point Defiance zoo. Not so exciting there.
