More Flags, More Fun For Sure

Summer Vacation Day 1
I cooked up this awesome plan for my first day of summer vacation. I decided that since LittleMan could go to Daycare for the final day, it would be a perfect day for PrincessGirl and I to go to 6 Flags. After all, if I was going to make her into a roller coaster lover, I'd better get started. I measured her height to make sure we weren't going to be stuck in Looney Toon Land all day and sure enough, she was tall enough to take on some of the fun coasters that I have grown up loving.

We dropped LittleMan off at daycare and hit the park. We were there when it opened and got our party started. When we first went to scan our tickets, we learned that PrincessGirl's free ticket was not good until June 15, she looked at me and said, "We're not going home are we?" and I bought her a ticket. We get our bag checked and learn that we will not be allowed to take our aerosol sunscreen into the park so we hosed off really well and "checked" our sunscreen.

Let the rides begin: We rode El Sombrero, Conquistador and then a test, would she be tall enough for the La Vibora (aka: Bob Sled). Sure enough, she meets the height requirement and loved it. At this point, I realize she cannot be stopped. We travel through the park riding everything we come in contact with. PrincessGirl is brave and is having the time of her life. There are no lines, the weather is really nice - it is a perfect day.

I had to make her take a break to eat lunch. She inhaled half of a corn dog and some fries before telling me to hurry up so we could go ride some more stuff. On Tony Hawk's Big Spin, PrincessGirl exclaimed, "I'M DROOLING!" and when asked if she was ok she said, "THIS IS AWESOME!" I took that as a yes.

As our day came to an end, we decided that we would get a Popsicle and make our way to the Judge Roy Scream. When we got to the front of the line, I discovered that my little Brighton change purse that had been in my pocket all day was not there. I was crushed! It contained my ID, my Bank of America Check Card and about $100. I quickly send DaddyMan a text asking him to cancel the card and PrincessGirl and I made our way to Lost and Found with desperate hopes that the little change purse had been turned in. It was not there, but the security person offered to phone the ride where I thought I lost it. I remembered it being in my pocket on the Roaring Rapids. She phoned the ride and it had indeed been turned in there. She sent an officer to the ride to get it and would you believe that everything was in there? That was almost as thrilling as taking my little girl on her first roller coaster.

It was a great day and I'm so glad that we spent some time enjoying girl day at 6 Flags.

I love you, Summer Vacation!
