Holiday in the Park

Every year we say we're going to go to Holiday in the Park at Six Flags but never do. This year we finally did. We were going to take Caleb too but it was way too cold and late so we left the little guy at home. He can go next year when he's bigger. Ethan had a good time. It was his first trip to Six Flags. Mondo and I hadn't been since high school. He loved the Mexican Hat and all the Looney Toon rides. We even met Batman and Robin while we were there! We had french fries and hot chocolate (not together). I was disappointed in the hot chocolate. I remember having awesome hot chocolate there as a kid but that night it tasted weird. We took him over to the Superman ride, the one that shoots you straight up. I asked him if he wanted to ride it (kidding of course) and he said no way! I told him he could ride it when he was bigger but he didn't think that was a good idea either. Well, on to the pictures!

There were fire pits scattered around the park to help warm us up. It felt so good. We all had on gloves and my hands were still cold. Having a ponytail wasn't a good idea because my ears were frozen but I didn't want to mess with my hair in the wind. It was so windy!

Ethan warming up by the fire.

Mondo and Ethan riding down the snow hill. What a good Daddy to ride with him.

This was right below the snow hill. I could hardly smile because my face was so cold!

This was inside the cave ride. I took this picture. Notice Ethan looks a little nervous. He wasn't too sure of the dark cave with creepy music on a boat banging into the walls. He was better once he saw Bugs Bunny but Yosimite Sam was too loud for him. There were a couple of parts with gun shots and explosions that were pretty loud and he had to cover his ears. I don't think he enjoyed that ride very much. It was always one of my favorites.

That's Ethan and me on the Mexican Hat. We rode it twice and he laughed hysterically when it started going high. So cute.

This was the highlight of the evening. Batman and Robin were standing outside of a store just haning out. Ethan was in awe. He really thought it was them.

Love this picture. These were little airplanes that went up and down and in a circle.

Little swings. No one was there that night. Ethan and this little girl were the only ones on them. They went pretty fast but he loved it. I was dizzy just watching.

Inside the ferris wheel. It wasn't so fun. Too much stopping to let people off and on. And it was pretty breezy at the top...super cold!

This was his all time favorite. Little trucks connected together like a train. He rode this four or five times, always sitting in the front. He really thought he was steering it. He was so exited and kept saying "I want to ride the trucks!"
