Summer Bucket List and Six Flags…Check!

No summer is complete without a trip to Six Flags and the Zoo. While we have yet to make it to the Zoo, it’s on the calendar for September (not really summer but we’ll gladly hold out for cooler weather and it’s for my companies family picnic…Perfect!) We did manage a Six Flags trip with Grandma A and Clay. Brooke stayed back home with a sitter…not really sure she is ready for a full day of Six Flags in the 100 degree heat.

The day before our Six Flags adventure, we went on-line to see what rides Drew would be tall enough to ride. He has wanted to go on the roller coasters since he was two and this year was his big opportunity! We also measured him to make sure we had the latest and greatest height update…44 inches.

Our plan was to get to the park as it opened, hit a few popular rides early, eat lunch, cool off at the water park until it closes (6pm) and then back to the park for more rides until close (9pm). Wow! It was a long, hot day.

The boys did great. Drew loved the Screaming Eagle and Ninja roller coasters. He was not tall enough for the other three but has high hopes for next year. Drew definitely has no fear and did not even flinch at the opportunity to ride in the first seat of the Screaming Eagle.

He was even brave enough to put both hands up in the air during the ride…CRAAZZY kid!! Fun. Exhausting. Hot. Day!! With this heat wave, I think I need to re-do my summer bucket list with some inside adventures.
