Six Flags

We have had so much fun crossing stuff off of our Summer Bucket List.

A few weeks ago, I took Kate to Six Flags. Mimi and our friend, Mandy, came along.

I thought Kate would love all the rides, and be a little daredevil. Uh, not so much. As in, she cried on the kiddie train and the tea cups.

We did have a great time, though. There were a few things that she just loved like driving the old time cars and riding the huge ferris wheel.

She loved running in the little splash park.

But then, she couldn't stand being wet. Luckily, I know my girl and I had packed an extra change of clothes down to underwear. After a quick wardrobe change, we were back in business.

We took her on a couple rides that she REALLY hated... lesson learned.

The Rush Street Flyer started well... and then ended bad. She couldn't get over the fact that it made her belly drop so much. Insert major drama over that fact. :)

On the Mine Train, I looked back at my mom and said, "I might be the worst parent ever." So, the rest of the ride, Kate wailed "We are the WORST PARENTS EVER!!" haha! She has since nicknamed the Mine Train the "Jerk Train", because in her words, it was just so "jerky". I seriously didn't remember it being like that. Oops.

She did give me a big kiss later in the day and said, "That's for bringing me to Six Flags".

And now, every time we pass by, she screams and points to the ferris wheel, saying "I rode that!!!"

Mission accomplished.
