We may not be in Kansas any more (or Texas if you want to get technical) but that doesn't mean we can't do Six Flags this summer! Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Robot Land! Actually, I was afraid it might be too baby, but what the heck, why not give it a try?
Upon driving up, it looked cute, but not necessarily what the kids would call fun.
At least there we were almost the only people there so there we no lines.
I'm glad to report that Robot Land did not disappoint!
We brought along our Danish friends. That's all six of the kiddos under the robot. One is in Eli's class, one in Daisy's, and the third is a year ahead of Zeke.
We started with the boat. This is one of Eli's favorite rides at the Flags.
We have an inside joke: he got the feeling.
Next we took in a little tea cup action.
This ride was one of those that drops, like the Superman ride, but it was in the little kid part so it was not scary.
My big Daisy riding the little train.
This thing went in little circles and bigger circles.
This was also in the kiddie part. It was an airplane ride. I had Zekers drive me.
That's Eli across from us,
and there's the Daiser.
Next we went to the water ride. The workers were like, "Do you want to get wet?" We were like, "Sure," and they were like, "Are you sure you want to get wet?" and we were like, "Yes, that's fine." As we were getting buckled in we saw the Koreans behind us. They were all kitted out in rain coats. We were like, "Crap. What did we get ourselves into?" This is us after the ride, all wet, and you can see the raincoats behind us.
The kids went back for round two.
This is the super high drop, like Superman.
You can see the ocean and the bay and the mountain top from up high, but I did not take out my phone for a picture for fear I would drop it.
We have no idea what this says, but I had Astrid and Daisy stand for a picture.
This is the only roller coaster, but it was a good one.
That's the kids going up. We rode this four times at least.
Another circle within circle ride behind them.
Sad confession time...I am officially getting old. I got motion sick. These little swings of all things did me in. I was feeling bad as we were going round and round, just hoping the ride would soon stop. As we were slowing down I actually threw up a little in my mouth. I got that panic feeling that I was going to vomit all over the concrete and swings. I was unbuckling before it completely stopped. I rushed out as quickly and I could and found a bit of grass to catch the vomit that I had been terrified was coming on the ride.
The vomit feeling passed, but I was afraid it was going to return, so I sat the next couple rides out. Not like me at all, but more like an old lady. On the bright side, I did not vomit, so there's that.
Snack time! Check out the size of that cotton candy!
It was a tasty little treat.
The kids got to test their driving skills with these robots.
We never got around to riding the carousel, but I thought this guy was colorful.
We went with the perfect amusement park family for us. They're like our dopplegangers. The bigs liked the same rides as us, and Eli and Julius didn't want to do all the rides, but they both loved the boat so they road it several times.
The Korean children are still in school, so there was no waiting on any of the rides. We rode many of them more than once. For some odd reason the kids did this little roller coaster a couple times. When the operators asked Daisy and Zeke how old they were, the kids decided maybe they were a bit too big for it, so they quit.
Zekers is good with his rubiks cubes, so I had to get this picture.
Daisy said this was probably going to be one of her most fun days of the summer.
