Saturday morning we got up bright and early to head out to Six Flags with the kids. We knew we would have to get their early to avoid the crowd and heat. Doors opened at 10 am and we were there at 10:05! Colby unfortunately is of the age or size at this point to enjoy the endless possibilities of food, drinks, rides and entertainment that the park has to offer. But between Danny, Izzy and myself we made up for it.
Colby was a pretty good sport... he's a great people watcher!
The last time we took Izzy was 2 years ago so she had grown into a new group of ride possibilities this time. Up to about 45" tall... barely nudging that 42" cut off mark. Danny and her were able to ride the Shock Wave... front row and all! Both of them just alike... mouths wide open! Izzy enjoyed it so much when she got off she ran down and took me back up to ride it again.... front row for a second time!
Colby's serious face....
I can't remember the name of this ride.... but for Izzy... she wasn't amused. From the beginning she had her head laying on my lap covering her eyes and ears. Mental note... we'll skip it next time!
Pretty bored....
Just about every event we have has some sort of surprise to go along with it. This time... Izzy got to go on a "Dive Bomb". Danny came up with the idea first thing that morning.... even had his mind set that he would take the plunge with Izzy. By the time it was time to play.... he backed out. Good thing Izzy has such a great step mom to go on these excursions with her!
Just before the plunge!
I asked Izzy when we were almost to the top of the "drop position" if she was scared. She continued to say "no". Only that she hoped we didn't go into the water down below. The people running the ride announced "3, 2, 1, fly"..... I pulled the cord and away we went. By the time we had swung back and forth 3 or 4 times Izzy was asking to go again. One fearless kid!
