Six Flags

Last Sunday we went Six Flags for Joey's company picnic. It was Presley's first time to Six Flags and her fist time at a big amusement park. I have taken her to Kiddy Park in San Antonio and she loved all of the kiddy rides, but this was her first time to experience an actual theme park. She was thrilled to be there...at first. We took her on the Carousel and she loved it. Then we took her on the "Log Ride"...which, surprisingly enough, she loved! However, we got a little risky with her and took her on the "Big Boat"...you know the one! We sat in the middle thinking that she would be fine with it. UMMMM...not so much. We forgot how high it went, or at least I did. Poor little girl was terrified. I thought the two girls across from us were going to call CPS on us. Presley was literally shaking during the entire ride. She kept saying, "all done? all done? all done?" Finally, she just buried her head in Joey's side. We felt HORRIBLE after the ride. SO, we thought we would take her on a calm ride, the Yosemite Sams Gold River Adventure. Oh, it was calm alright...but extremely LOUD. She was scared again and wanted off! AND guess who was right behind us in line??? You guessed it, the girls that felt so sorry for her on the Big Boat....I'm convinced they were following us. Needless to say, she hated every ride after that (but one) and she will forever be afraid of Daphe Duck, Elmer Fudd, and Bugs Bunny. Oh well, at least she got along with Tweety Bird!
She enjoyed the swings at first, but once Joey and I were out of her view she was not happy and started crying. She probably would have done well had she not had such a bad experience with all of the other rides....so much for taking her to Kiddy Park in the future. :o(
