This past Saturday, Jake and I took the kids to Six Flags for a super fun back to school surprise. Jake was able to get free tickets from a customer at work. We also got free breakfast and lunch with it too so it turned to be a free day minus buying a few drinks to keep us cool and hydrated... it was really hot!!
We told the kids we were going on a surprise adventure so they had no idea where we were going. Jackson has been there a couple times before (when he was 2 and 3 years old), but Avery had never been. They both were so excited when we turned in and they realized where we were going. :-)
Jackson was tall enough to ride all but 3 rides. He could even ride the ninja, which is a roller coaster that goes upside down. He was so excited and rode many of the rides multiple times. Thankfully, the lines were short and it wasn't very crowded at all.
Avery was still too small to ride a majority of the rides, but she rode everything she could and spent a lot of time in Bugs Bunny Land where they have a lot of rides just for little kiddos. She was sad when she couldn't ride the bigger rides like Jackson could. :-(
It was a great day and I can't wait to go again. Maybe season passes are in order for next year. It's only about 20 minutes from our new house so it would be easy to just go for a few hours here and there.
Now onto the few iPhone pictures I took that day. :-)
