Well, I was just thinking the other day – there are so many things our girls have already done that I didn’t do till later in life. Starbucks, Steak N Shake, seeing the Arch — just a few that come to mind … But then again, they haven’t been fishing or tooling around in a canoe or john boat either Anyway, today they added another to the list. We tackled Six Flags!! Our friend Michelle invited us to go and we had a blast! Kelly went too! Caden and Maddie weren’t able to make this trip Hopefully they can come next time!

As soon as we pulled into the parking lot Abby started yelling about the GIGANTIC FERRIS WHEEL!!! I told her we would do everything we could to get a ride on that BIG RIDE!!

This is Abby waiting in her very first “thrill ride” line. You may notice that the gate is directly in front of her. Not a real WAIT if you ask me!

Abby picked the Hot Air Balloons as her first ride. She wanted the blue one. As we were getting in the seat a little girl ran over to ride with us. Abby was scared though and just wanted to ride with me – so she gave up that seat and ran to find another blue balloon. I apologized to the little girl and explained that this was Abby’s first time

Up and down and around and around! Abby had a great big smile most of the ride. Towards the end though, she asked if we could stop spinning.

She picked the Train as her next ride. Michelle took her for a spin on this one.

Here they come!

We finally made it to the “GIGANTIC” Ferris Wheel.

Michelle and Kelly took this time to catch up on some texting and emails

We found a couple characters today!

We headed over to Hurricane Harbor for the rest of the day. We played in the kid area (until someone pooped in the pool) And we spent time in the big wave pool.

I applied and reapplied sunblock to the girls numerous times. Unfortunately, I forgot to take care of myself in the same way :/

Both girls had tons of fun. Hannah loved laying on her back and kicking her feet. Abby played on the small water slides and bounced in the waves. We didn’t have the camera out while we were playing… but we posed for a couple shots right before we left. Don’t worry. Hannah had a life vest on the entire day. We just hopped back in the pool to grab these shots

Michelle and I decided early on that we wouldn’t be able to leave the park without an ice cream cone. Abby totally agreed!

Hannah had some other things to take care of. She did really good the entire day. But we finally lost her around 3:30.

We had a GREAT day! So much fun! Thank you Michelle for inviting us!!
