St. Louis: Six Flags

We spent our second day in St. Louis at Six Flags. We had planned for it to take up most of our day, but we got there right when the park opened at 10am and we left when it closed at 9pm!! We had brought a cooler with lunch in it, but the kids wanted to keep going, and we didn't break for a meal until 6pm. We had sooo much fun at Six Flags...it was one of our two favorite places on this vacation. Chris and I both LOVE thrill rides and roller coasters, so in between the zillion kids rides, we took a few time outs for mom and dad to ride as well. Thank goodness for the Child Swap program that most theme parks offer...Chris would stand in line to ride, while I kept the kids busy. Then as soon as Chris got off the ride, he'd tell the attendants that his wife would be right up for the child swap, so then when he came down to take the kids, I could walk up the exit, and walk right on the ride. It saved us a LOT of time, and we both got to enjoy all the big rides!

 

This was one of the first rides we did that morning, and we ended up riding it probably 8 times. The boys LOVED it! I love this pic...see Chris & Ash in the front seat?

 They're a little wet!!

 There goes mommy & Carter!

 Carter's on the far left, second from the back.

 This little girl was SUCH a trooper the entire day. She napped in the stroller, she sipped on water and PowerAde, she basked under her little stroller fan and she toddled around while we were waiting on the big kids. She's amazing.

 It was one of the hottest days of our trip that day (mid 90's), and we were stinky, sweaty messes, but we had a blast!! The water rides really helped beat the heat.

 Oh yeah, and these squirt bottle fans...those helped a bunch, too!

 This is one of the big rides, Mr. Freeze.

 Little miss even got on a few rides. :)
