Six Flags

Today we did another first for Charlie we took him to his first amazement, Park Six Flags St. Louis. We recently purchased Season passes since we always seem to be looking for something to do with Charlie. We figure it close enough that we will put the passes to good use. After a few hiccups to get our season passes we were ready for fun, Charlie was enjoying running around jumping in some very small puddles then we headed to Bugs Bunny's National Park. First ride was Elmer Fudd's weather balloons, not really sure Charlie enjoyed this ride. Next was the Bugs Bunny Ranger Pilots (airplanes) and Moppy's turn to ride with Charlie, Well I was too tall to ride and not really convinced Charlie would ride alone, but we gave it a shot and he rode alone. (it did make me a little sad that my baby can ride rides without me). Then Charlie caught site of the tree house playground and played for a little while, before Moppy dragged him off for more rides. Charlie and Daddy rode the Tug boat then we enjoyed some dipping dots. We put him on the Taz Twister ride but he would not stay sitting so he had to get off. Moppy and Charlie rode the space ship then Daddy and Charlie rode the space ship. We had asked Charlie if he wanted to ride the Daffy Duck Swing Ride and he had said no but I figured why not ask again, this time he wanted to. Daddy put him in the swing and strapped him in tight!! He was a little fidgety waiting for the ride to start and when it started he looked just plan bored. Daddy talked to him as he went by, then Charlie started yelling "help Daddy" and would stop as soon as Daddy was out or sight the next time around he reached for Daddy saying "help Daddy get me" a few more rounds and then he turned around in his seat we told the operator he has to stop the ride, our son is climbing out of his seat and he does but before he can get it stopped Charlie is not sitting in his swing anymore but kneeling in his and hanging onto the one behind him. ( glad there wasn't a kid behind him that migh of kicked at him or something!!)Charlie and I rode the little train and then we headed home. That was the excitement of our trip to Six Flags.
