Another trip to Six Flags Great America

We decided to go to Great America once more this year to "get our money's worth" so all of our visits next year in 2016 would be free. We decided to go over this past weekend on Sunday the 11th, as it was going to be 75 degrees and probably the last nice weekend of the year.

Well, it seems everyone else and their kids thought the same thing! It was SO crowded compared to the last time we visited in September over Labor Day weekend (plus this weekend was also Columbus Day weekend).  We did not have as good of a time this time, there were tons of people everywhere resulting in crowds and long lines everywhere, even the baby rides. Also it felt like it was 85 degrees out, not 75 degrees outside.

In any case, we made the best of it and rode a few rides and had some snacks. We left early and went to Cracker Barrel for dinner where Maddie had chicken and dumplings for the first time.

Mid day nap, the first time in a very long time she had fallen asleep in her stroller.
