Summer Fun at Six Flags Great America! (with lots of videos)

We went to Six Flags at the end of August!  It was a pretty hot day but Maddie was a trooper! We hopped in the car and got McDonald's breakfast on the way. Maddie did great in the car on the way there.

The first thing she did was the carousel ride with Daddy!  Then all 3 of us went on a hot air balloon ride. Maddie loved going up in the air and kept saying "Fly! Fly!" We then went to a children's area we have not been to before because Maddie was too small to ride on her own. First we went on a car ride where she got to (had to) sit all by herself!  I was afraid she would freak out once the ride started and they'd have to stop the ride, but she did great! She absolutely loved being in the car and loved the ride! She wanted to go on it again, but I pushed our luck and put her on the boat ride, which she also had to ride on her own. She was great sitting in it waiting for the ride to begin, but the other riders were clanging on their bells very loudly which I think upset her so just as the ride was about to start, she started to cry and wiggle out of her seat belt! I tried to run through and get her in time... but I was too late and she fell into the water!! Luckily it was not deep at all but she was soaked from her waist down and I was an embarrassed mom!  I quickly changed her and we rode on the car ride again. We then rode on a little bus ride which she also enjoyed.

After some lunch, we headed over to the toddler section she liked so much last time. Each ride required at least 1-2 parents in this section. Maddie loved every single ride, but I think she loved playing in the water the best!!

We ended the trip with a funnel cake sundae!! All Maddie wanted was the cherry!

She did great, and we actually skipped her nap that day (!!) as we got home too late for her nap. So we calmed down with some TV time, an early dinner, early bath and early bed time!

Tons of pictures and videos below!
