Six Flags

The amusement park Six Flags is less than five miles from our home and we drive by it quite often.  Sofia was two years old when we moved to our current home and has been asking since day one if she could go on the roller coasters.  Knowing that we couldn't really afford a day at the theme park we would simply tell her that when she was six we would go to Six Flags.

Sofia turned six this past year but being that we live in the Midwest, Six Flags is only open May - October.  However, this winter, Sofia took part in a reading program through her school that rewarded her with a ticket to Six Flags for reading x amount of time.  Summer has come and it was time to go to Six Flags.

Thankfully we were blessed with the opportunity to go by our dear friends the Dancas.  They have had season passes to Six Flags for the past couple of years and they know this park inside and out.  Monday, June 13 it was bring a guest for free!  Now we can use Sofia's free ticket on another day and sweet Brooke gave Selah her free ticket that she earned from the reading program.

Amy, Brooke, and Aubry hosted Mommy, Sofia and Selah with a really fun day at Six Flags.

Ready to begin their fun-filled day at Six Flags!

Where shall we go first?

Triple Play was the first ride of the day.  Lots of spinning and swinging high but the girls LOVED IT!

Teacups!

I enjoyed the expressions on the girls faces as the ride went up and down with sudden drops.  Pure excitement.

This is The Whizzer.  A roller coaster.  Mommy was a little anxious being that Sofia and Brooke were in the front car and there were many dips, twists, and turns.  My fears were relieved when I saw Sofia raising her arms and at the end of the ride when the girls were chanting, "One more time.  One more time!"

Gotta love those tooth changing smiles.

Bugs Bunny!

Wonder Woman (women)!

Sylvester.

Sweet friends.  They held hands most of the day as we walked from ride to ride.

One of the few rides where the sisters rode together.

What's a day at the amusement park without funnel cake?  And a funnel cake sundae at that.

Don't forget the cotton candy.

Carousels are always a favourite.

Smiles at the end of the day.
