Six Flags

I decided to take a day off work this week to go Six Flags. We were trying to avoid the weekend crowds, but school just got out so there were still lots of people there. We had so much fun! Remember we took Shane when he was just under a month old?Well this was a much different experience! Last time he slept the entire trip and this time I was WISHING he would take a nap! He had a blast running around the park and would barely sit in his stroller. We watched the seal show, but left halfway through because he lost interest. We had been talking about seeing the dolphins for a few days so that was really fun, but once again he lost interest by the time the killer whale came out.







He LOVED the butterfly exhibit. I was sweating and ready to get outta there, but he wouldn't leave. He would run around chasing butterflies and then would want me or Daddy to catch them! Then he saw the water and then the fish and almost threw a fit when we finally made him leave. It looked like the fish were going to bite his little fingers off, but he had no fear!



Of course we had to go to Thomas Town. We rode Harold the helicopter and Thomas the train. Shane was very excited, but more excited to play with the train table in the gift shop than going on the rides! I now know what he will be getting for his next birthday and it will have to be Thomas themed!



Then we checked out the rest of the animals. It wasn't too exciting. We were in time for the giraffe feeding and Shane thought their long tongues were really funny. All the lions, tigers, cougars and cheetas were sleeping so that wasn't much fun. We saw the elephant do a couple of tricks, but then it was time to go. I let Shane play in the water before we left just to top off the day! He thought it was great.
