Six Flags opened for the season on May 7th. It was freezing cold and pouring rain. We have watched the weather every day, waiting for a decent day so that we could finally get over there and use our season tickets. I know we have all Summer to go but we really wanted to go while most people were still in school so we could avoid the crowds at least once. So we watched and we watched and we watched and we had one day in all of May that wasn't 40 degrees, or tornado windy, or hailing, or raining, or all of the above and that ONE day was a Sunday. So no Six Flags for us.
But even though Sunday was cold and stormy, Monday Spring finally arrived and it even brought Summer with it. It was HOT and HUMID after all the rain. But even though we knew it would be uncomfortable and probably mega crowded for Memorial Day we were going to use those dang passes. We had waited long enough!
It was 85 degrees at our house but since Six Flags is a few miles further away from the lake it was 95. Since I have lived here I have never seen it hit 100, ever, so for us 95 is about as HOT as it gets. But even through the sweating and the sunburn I was so happy to hang up the coats and put on short sleeves. After the longest Winter ever I am still taking a deep breath and bracing myself for the cold every time I open the door, only to be pleasantly rewarded with warmth. I hope Spring is finally making it's way to the rest of you as well. I hear it was tardy all over the nation.
Anyhow, I mostly only took pictures of the baby rides that the kids could ride alone. If I was riding, I didn't take the camera out. Doesn't matter though, because we will be back over and over and over again. In fact, it is 70 degrees today and I am tempted to go get the kids from school and head over there right this minute or maybe just head over after school since they get out at 1:00 on Wednesdays. I am so excited for our Six Flags Summer.
Don't we look official? Seth got one too, but his is in his wallet so you can't look at it right now.

That is so exciting! What a fun summer. I can't believe you winter was so long. I guess I am getting spoiled out here in Henderson. We have a lot of fun things to do around here, but I really miss a big theme park. We are saving for a Disney trip this year (maybe in October, and I am already SOOOO excited!
Oooo! I hope you went today! That is soo fun. Season passes are the best! You guys are going to have a great summer!
Oh how fun!!
And I thought our season pass to the lake was cool. How lucky to be so close to so much fun all summer long. Glad you finally got some nice weather.
I'm so jealous that that's what you'll be doing all summer, and I'll be...well, I don't know what I'll be doing. Looks like a great time. Did you end up going today, too. Any chance you can sneak in a mom and 3 kids? Just once?
Well, I can see Lagoon doesn't begin to compare! What a fun day, and you look like it's actually warm there! We're still in jackets some of the time, and rarely in short sleeves right now.
Fun! I see what you mean about Alyssa and Chloe but the other day in Primary I was looking at Chloe and thinking I could actually see a little Alyssa in her.. I think it's their jawline/chin or something.
I haven't ever been to Six Flags. Doug went once with his brother when they were visiting but I am hoping to take Abi there this summer at least once.
