St. Louis - Day #1

We took the kids to St. Louis for a few days of fun and just a chance to spend time together.  We all had a great time!
We drove down early on the first day and went to Six Flags.  We didn't even get to the waterpark or a whole other section of the park because it is so large to accomplish with 4 younger children. :)  The kids all did great and we only traumatized Kate a few times by making her go on rides that she hated...she is not the adventurous type!  She would have been content sitting in her stroller the entire day.  She did like most of the rides that we took her on once they started/ended.  Her favorite was the ferris wheel.  All of them loved Thunder River, the log ride & the scrambler (not the exact names).
Thunder River was our second ride of the day...everyone got a little wet, but I got drenched both times we went on it! :)

Now it was dad's turn to get soaking wet on the log ride


We bought a big drink to share that had free refills all day.  The kids thought that was great since we could pick a variety of pops, lemonade & powerade to fill it with.

Kate had waited patiently to ride on the train and she loved it!

Above & below are a couple other rides the kids enjoyed while Kurtis was off riding the huge roller coasters that we are all too chicken to ride.






Don't let Kate's smile fool you...this was before the carousel started.  I ended up singing the abc's with her to keep her mind off the ride.
More Thunder River pictures that are out of order...Kate sat by me and did not like getting wet. 

 
All in all it was a great day.  We were there until it closed and could have gone back the next day!
