Six Flags

We spent the whole day at Six Flags. We hit the roller coasters first which turned out to be a good thing because all of the crowds stayed in the water park during the day because of the heat. We ran as fast as we could to the biggest roller coaster in the park but got sidetracked because Ethan saw the train.

After a painfully slow train ride (Ethan liked it) we jumped onto the Ride of Steel. The Superman drop. :) 200 foot drop and speeds that reach 75mph. (pictured on the left) I've never been on a ride like that. I love roller coasters but that was insane. I could barely walk when we got off. We hit The Joker next which was low key but still a lot of fun and then we took Ethan over to the kiddy area where there were rides a plenty for two year olds.

He went on a Roadrunner ride which turned into the highlight of the trip. It's a small roller coaster and has no big drops or high speeds but the look of terror on his face was hilarious as the ride started. (pictured on the right you can see David and the top of Ethan's little head. The third seat back) David kept his hand on Ethan the whole ride to make him feel more secure but he had never experienced anything like that before. At the end Ethan said, "Whoa!" When David asked if he liked it he answered yes but when David asked if he wanted to do it again he said no. :)

Around 3pm we headed over to the water park to cool off. (pictured below is Ethan playing in the water and my legs in the background) I spent the next few hours catching Ethan at the bottom of the water slide and watching him splash water in his face. I loved just sitting in the water and doing nothing after so much running around. Just to end the day on a good note David and I ran over to the last big roller coaster in the park called the Mind Eraser. It's one where your feet dangle and the wind gets knocked out of you because you'er going around in such tight circles.

Because everyone was at the water park the longest we waited for any ride was about 10 minutes. Now that we're home (Just in time too. Rain.) we're making homemaid funnel cakes and reminising about the strangled look on our faces during the Superman ride.
