Because of Hurricane Bill, the weather is very hot and very humid here on the coast. Saturday, we went to the beach to enjoy the wonderful surf (see previous blog). Sunday, we decided we needed to find something cool and indoors, so of course we decide to go to 6 flags (Note: neither cool, nor indoors). We have passes from 6 Flags in CA, where Monster enjoyed many, many action packed days. These passes are good at all 6 flags (including our parking pass) so we decided to schlep up to Massachusetts to visit 6 Flags, New England.
The trip up was relatively uneventful, but as soon as we got there, it started to rain. Summer showers in the midwest and east coast can be fairly heavy and warm. That was the case on Sunday. Since Monster despises his shoes or hair wet, I was fairly nervous he would have a total meltdown. As keeps happening these days, he amazed us. He let us put a hat on him and instead of freaking out over the wet shoes, he actually decided to play in the puddles.
As is typical with summer storms, it was over before the end of the first Thomas the Tank Engine ride and the day got hot and steamy. We found rides he had ridden in the past and because of the rain, he could get on them really easy. We let him pretty much decide where he wanted to go most of the day (with some guidance from us when he was too overwhelmed.
This 6 flags was also a water park, so we eventually headed out that way to cool off. Off course, he was fascinated by the water slides (but didn't want to try them). One thing he totally loved, was a water obstacle course (for want of a better way to phrase it). I've posted a video below of his final crossing. The first attempt was by himself, and he ended up in the water almost immediately. Mr asked if he could help in, and they said sure.
The day was hot, humid and exhausting. But fun (and it only cost us the money for gas since we bring our own food ;))
