Spring Break at Six Flags

Monday, we decided to head to Six Flags to use our Season Passes for the first time. Tuesday was going to be an errand and packing day since we were heading to Utah early Wednesday morning. Monday dawned overcast and it started to rain on our way there. It rained the first hour or so that we were there, but never came down heavy. Then, the sun came out and we enjoyed the sunshine!After standing in line for about 15 minutes we got our season passes and then went on the Snake Roller coaster. Calissa was a little scared at first, but decided that she liked it!
We looked around at some of the animals and then headed over to the walrus experience. There were two walruses out. This one was pregnant and due to deliver any day now. There are only about 17 in captivity. They are HUGE!


We saw the sea lions and sting rays ...


and the penguins. They sure swim fast. Who knew?


We went to the Sea Lion show ... I guess I didn't get any pictures. All the shows had wet benches from the rain, but we just brushed them off and sat down. Our bums dried eventually! After lunch we went to the Killer Whale show. What a beautiful animal!


This ride was about Calissa's speed.

(Notice the turtle down below ... that's about how fast it moved!)






Before we went home we went to the dolphin show.


They are so smart!

In all the shows the people in the front got SOAKED! We laughed, happy that it wasn't us! (Maybe on a day when it's really hot we'll sit down below!)


Before we headed home for dinner Parker and I went on Medusa and Conner and Calissa (with Parker's cell phone) went on the Snake Coaster 3 times before we came back. We had a fun day and I was the only one who got sunburned!

Wow! It's been a long time since we've been to 6 Flags. The shows look super...the rides, not so much fun for me. Grandma R.
