Today was so wonderful. I got to spend the whole day with my husband and kids away from everyone and every thing else. We have not had much time like that this summer and I am so glad we could do it today. It meant everything to me to be with my family all day with no interruptions.
We went to Six Flags. It's been about 3 or 4 years since we were there last. We spent the ENTIRE day there, just like I used to do when I was growing up and when I was in high school and college. It's better now, though because Hurricane Harbor is there so we got a respite from the heat. It was VERY HOT today with the heat index over 100.
We got there around opening time and spent the first part of the day in the amusement park. It's changed a lot since I was growing up, but not so much that I cannot find my way around without a map. There are so many more roller coasters than there were when I was growing up. But, we only got on one because my children are wimps. I have no idea where they got that from. Hopefully, some day Michael and I will get them on the bigger roller coasters. We did ride the mine train, which is the oldest coaster in the park.
Around 3:00 pm we went to Hurricane Harbor (the water park). It was so crowded, but the water felt SO GOOD. We played around in the water for about 5 hours until the water park closed. We got to try out the new ride, The Wahoo Racer and that was a lot of fun. Michael and Michaela did a lot more of the slides and flumes than Caleb and I because Caleb was being a wimp there and I wanted Michaela to have some one on one time with her Daddy. It was still a great way to spent that time and I got some one on one time with Caleb.
At 8:00 we left the water park and went back into the amusement park. We rode a ride and then it was time to find a seat for the parade. They are now doing a glow in the dark parade and it was a lot of fun to watch. After the parade we left. There was only a little bit of time left before the park actually closed anyway.
It has been a very long, hot day. But, I would not have traded this day for anything.
