Last week my family
took a little trip to our local Six Flags Great America Chicago. My husband and
I brought along our three children {4 y/o, 2y/o, and 2m/o}. My sister-in-law,
her husband, and her little girl {2 y/o} also came along for a fun filled day of
roller coaster craziness! I did some babywearing and my husband did some hand
holding and together we were able to manage all of the children quite well.
It rained. It rained
from the moment we got there until about the moment we left, but we still had a
great time! There are a ton of things for little ones to do. There are rides, a
giant pirate ship playground, and stage to sing on. The rides range according
to height – but my boys are pretty tall for their age and were able to ride
some good rides with their father, aunt, and uncle. Since I was babywearing I
was unable to ride the coaster, but that’s okay – maybe next time.
It was a great day –
rain and all. My favorite ride was the carousel because I was able to
participate. My oldest son was tall enough to ride the Demon Roller Coaster
with his father… he came off telling me how scary it was. But then he didn’t
bat an eyelash at hopping on the next coaster. My boys love to go fast and they
love to bounce off the walls; so this was a perfect way to spend the day with
my children.
Have you ever been to an amusement park, and
if so which one(s)?
